Journey (foaled 16 March 2012) is a Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the British Champions Fillies' and Mares' Stakes at Ascot on British Champions Day. It has been suggested she was named in reference to the band Journey.

Background

In 2016 as a four-year-old, Journey won the Pinnacle Stakes and then won the British Champions Fillies' and Mares' Stakes with Dettori as her jockey.[2]
