Epaulette (foaled 9 November 2009) is a multiple Group One winning thoroughbred racehorse and successful stallion.
Epaulette was homebred by Darley Stud and is a three-quarter brother to Group One winning stallion, Helmet.[2]
Epaulette won the Black Opal Stakes as a two-year-old.[3]
As a three-year-old he had success in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude and the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes.[4] He also ran second behind the unbeaten Black Caviar in her final ever start in the 2013 TJ Smith Stakes.[5]
Epaulette won his second Group 1 when successful in the Doomben 10,000.[6] Epaulette only had one start as a four-year-old and was retired to stud.[7]
Between 2014 and 2020 Epaulette acted as a shuttle stallion for Darley between Europe and Australia.
In 2021 he was sold by Darley to the Turkish Jockey Club where he will continue stallion duties for the 2022 season.[8]
