  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

  • 2017 Summerhill Stud Sale of Mares and Weanlings
    “As One Door Closes, Another One Opens…” There is never a good time to do this, more so as it involves the dispersal of the families that have brought international recognition to Summerhill. When our former stud manager John Slade, was assisting with our mating plans last July, he was charmed by the layered evolution of our broodmares through generations of the leading stallions Northern Guest, Home Guard, Liloy, Rambo Dancer, National Emblem, Fard, Kahal and Muhtafal, all of them “top ten” luminaries, several of them national champions in one category or another. While this is an emotional time for all of us, it’s an opportune one for our colleagues. Our good friend Graham Beck, laid the foundations for his stellar successes at Highlands and Maine Chance through his legendary “raids” on their stock, as well as those of the Noreen, Scott Bros. and Hartford studs. For our own part, the partnerships we’d assembled in 1987 were dispersed on their maturity in 1998, and we were left with just 26 mares on the farm; seven years later, through our re- investment in those families, we’d won the first of ten national premierships. Famously, the dams of Jet Master, Royal Chalice, Angus and Pierre Jourdan, among many others, were acquired right here, as was Varsfontein’s “Blue Hen”, Secret Pact. While Summerhill’s successes owe much to the stallions that’ve decorated our barn over the decades, it’s arguable that we’ve never been better served than in the outstanding young sprinter-milers currently doing duty here, Act Of War, Capetown Noir, Willow Magic and Linngari; they comprise the bulk of the covering sires in the catalogue.

Prove Out was a brilliant horse with a fine pedigree, but I'm not going to pretend the male line of Sanctus means anything to me. Evidently it achieved a tenuous survival out of wartime France, so there must be a story to be told there.

  • The Widely Held Impression That There Were No
    Where did the Thoroughbred come from? Everyone has heard that “all Thoroughbreds trace to just three stallions”, and the impression is sometimes fostered of no racehorse breeding in Britain before the Godolphin Arabian, the Darley Arabian and the Byerley Turk popped up around 1700. Running horses and the contests between them are recorded here almost as far back as records themselves.1 Our “slow, cold blooded, horses from the northern forest” being transformed by three “swift, hot blooded, horses of the southern desert” was a great oversimplification. Recent mtDNA testing shows that horses from different locations must have [been] mixed and mingled worldwide much earlier in history than was previously thought. Genetic markers for different female lines are scattered at random throughout completely dissimilar breeds; these very distinct physical types have been bred up upon almost any of the original genetic rootstocks. Prehistoric female lines so randomly scattered may weaken the theory that horses were domesticated by any single group or society2. If we could trace back beyond the minor mutations which now differentiate between female families, we would ultimately come upon an equine Eve. However, it is not Przewalskii’s horse. Although often called the “ancestral horse”, this is unrelated to any other currently known group; it must result from a more significant split in the original family tree hundreds of thousands of years ago.3 As it transpires, racehorses have been incrementally bred up from all sorts of starting points. Derby winners may share a very great grand dam with horses of any breed. Physical characteristics such as size and colour, gait and temperament, are quite easily confirmed by appropriate matings: or lost by non-confirmatory ones.
