World champion and top of the crop face off!

Souchong was considered the best of the crop as a three-year-old, but failed to deliver in the finals after winning qualifiers for both the E3 and the Oaks. World champion Twister Bi looks set to be the one to carry on the Varenne bloodline.

Souchong 1:12.6a won the qualifier for the long E3 and finished third in the short E3 final. She won the qualifier for the Svenskt Trav-Oaks as well as a trial for the Breeders’ Crown and was considered one of the absolute best horses of the crop as a three-year-old. Her first offspring, Cup of Tea 1.13.8am, won the Sommarfavoriten. From the same dam line come the millionaires Oolong, Middle East, and Alone, as well as the Hambletonian winner Duenna.
