Canyon (horse)

Canyon failed to win again but after her retirement from racing she became a very successful broodmare, whose offspring included Colorado and two other major winners.

She was trained throughout his career by Lord Derby's private trainer George Lambton at the Stanley House stable at Newmarket, Suffolk.

[2][3] She stood 15 2½ hands high and in appearance was described as showing "superb quality", "great length" and "immense power".

Canyon's dam Glatisant was an influential broodmare whose other descendants included Toboggan, Citation and Gate Dancer.

Ridden by Fred Rickaby, she went to the front two furlongs out and held off a strong challenge from the odds-on favourite Fifinella to win by three quarters of a length.
