Origin & history
Valoris was a "tall, dark, leggy" brown mare, with no white markings bred in France by Robert Forget. As a yearling she was bought by the British businessman Charles Clore and was sent into training with Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle in Ireland. O'Brien regarded the filly highly although he believed that she had a problem with her eyesight, noting her tendency to "duck away" from objects - even familiar ones - on the training gallops. Her sire, Tiziano, was bred in Britain but raced in Italy where he won the St Leger Italiano in 1960. Her dam Vali won one race as a three-year-old in 1957 befor
