Early Years
Victory Tilly was born on May 3, 1995, in Almunge, Uppsala municipality, Sweden. He spent his years as a colt at his breeder's, Stall Tilly. Glen Norman was in charge of the training of the stable's race horses, and, thus, was Victory Tilly's trainer in the horse's early years. During this period, as a two-year-old, Victory Tilly was castrated because of testicle problems. Being gelded, Victory Tilly would in his career be ineligible to enter major French events like Prix d'Amérique, that are open only for stallions and mares.
