Owned by the Evremond de Saint-Alary whose stable raced in England and France, Comrade was purchased for only 26 guineas.[1] Trained by the renowned British horse trainer Peter Gilpin, in July 1920 the three-year-old Comrade won the most important race in France at the time, the Grand Prix de Paris. He returned to France in October and was ridden to victory by jockey Frank Bullock in the inaugural running of what is now France's most prestigious race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe
According to France Galop, Comrade was the best middle-distance runner of his generation.
