Guess Who?

This week, the subject of Guess Who? is another horse that you may not have heard of, but has a connection to the history of Belair Stud. Your job is to comment with the name of the horse and the connection to Belair.

This horse shared a sire with his dynamic stablemate and raced in his shadow throughout his career. Both were bred and owned by the same man, but this horse found a new home late in his stud career. Both inherited a tendency toward infirmity from their sire, this tendency affecting our horse in question more than his dynamic stablemate during their racing careers. At stud, though, our Guess Who? far outpaced his stablemate, even leading the sire list. He was so highly sought after that his sale made headlines.

Though our Guess Who? never wore the red polka dots, but his name is part of the history of Belair. Can you guess who this horse is?

  1. This was very tough! I don’t know if I’m close, but I’m going to guess Celt, the broodmare sire of Gallant Fox. He led the sire list, and shared a sire with the unbeaten Colin.
