Hall of Fame

(Tracery ex. Casetta (Marco)) Cottage claimed the first of his two Grand National/Cheltenham Gold Cup doubles in 1939, but he is best remembered for the legendary Cottage Rake, whom Vincent O’Brien trained to three Cheltenham Gold Cup victories.

Fortina was unique in that he remains the only entire to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup (1947) and went on to sire two winners of the race in Fort Leney (1968) and Glencaraig Lady (1972).

(Pampered King ex. Trial By Fire (Court Martial)) Deep Run was arguably the greatest National Hunt sire ever, securing 14 consecutive NH Sires’ Championships and producing the brilliant racemare Dawn Run who remains the only horse to win both the Champion Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

(Our Native ex. Witchy Woman (Strate Stuff)) Be My Native dominated the National Hunt sires’ table for six consecutive seasons, with three of his standout performers, Rhinestone Cowboy, Native Upmanship and Ned Kelly, all racing in the Magnier navy blue silks.

(Bustino ex. Princess Zena (Habitat)) Third in the 2,000 Guineas and fourth in the Derby before embarking on a stud career that saw him twice crowned Champion National Hunt sire, his top performers included the likes of Feathered Leader, Rule Supreme, Fundamentalist and What’s Up Boys.

(Alleged ex. Etheldreda (Diesis)) Remarkably, Flemensfirth, Presenting, and Istabraq were all in John Gosden’s yard at the very same time. Flemensfirth went on to enjoy a stellar stud career at The Beeches, claiming two National Hunt Sires’ Championships and siring a host of stars including Imperial Commander, Tidal Bay and Grey Dawning.

(Montjeu ex. Gryada (Shirley Heights)) Had he not met Sea The Stars, he would have gone unbeaten in his first seven starts, and later excelled at NH stud with Grade 1 winners like Stage Star, Home By The Lee, Flame Bearer, The New One and Farren Glory.

(Sadler's Wells ex. Kithanga (Darshaan)) Winner of the St Leger and runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, he was Champion NH Sire in 2019/20, his top performers including crack hurdlers Jezki, Darlan and Raya Star along with Grand National winner One For Arthur.
