香港打吡大賽
Byword is a chestnut horse with a broad white blaze and a long white sock on his left hind leg, bred in the United Kingdom by his owner, Khalid Abdullah's, Juddmonte Farms. He was sired by the American-bred Peintre Celebre who won the Prix du Jockey Club, Grand Prix de Paris and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1997. Peintre Celebre's other progeny included Pride and the Hong Kong Derby winner Collection. Byword'd dam Binche made no impact as a racecourse, but has been a very successful broodmare, also producing the multiple Grade I winner Proviso. During his racing career he was trained in France by André Fabre.
