The Autumn Sun (foaled 2 September 2015) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and active sire trained and bred in Australia.
"[2] From December 2017, The Autumn Sun had 4 trials before he made his debut at Royal Randwick on 25 April 2018.
"[4] On 9 June, The Autumn Sun won The J. J. Atkins, coming from 6 lengths back to win.
Trainer Chris Waller said, "I was questioning whether at only his third start, like State of Origin, only certain people and horses can take those steps.
Punters.com.au said, "After a spring in which he cemented himself as the star three-year-old in Australia, The Autumn Sun's much-anticipated return has followed the script at Rosehill.
The nation's most valuable colt came from last to win, overhauling previously unbeaten Vegadaze by a long neck.
Hermitage Thoroughbreds and Arrowfield Stud released a statement saying, "After extensive discussions, the opportunity to return the colt to his spiritual home and fill the gap left by the death of Redoute's Choice provide too compelling.
