Avilius (foaled 22 May 2014) is a retired British bred thoroughbred racehorse that won multiple Group 1 races in Australia.
Avilius is a son of Pivotal and was bred at Darley Stud.[2]
Originally trained by André Fabre in France, Avilius won a 2400m maiden at Chantilly and the Listed Prix de Suresnes at Maisons-Laffitte. Avilius also had placings in the Prix Eugène Adam and the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano.[3]
Avilius was then transferred to Godolphin's Australian stable of James Cummings where he was gelded. Avilius has won 9 races in Australia, including the Ranvet Stakes, Tancred Stakes and the George Main Stakes which are at Group 1 level.[4]
It was announced in July 2021 that Avilius would be retired from racing and become part of the Godolphin Lifetime Care program, where he would be retrained, most likely as a show horse.[5]
