Charlotte West (horse)

Charlotte West (1827 – after 1850) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the seventeenth running of the classic 1000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse in 1830.

[1] Charlotte West came from an extremely successful female family which traced back to the Duke of Grafton's outstanding and influential broodmare Prunella.

Filagree was a daughter of Web, the Foundation mare of Thoroughbred family 1-s, and a sister of the Derby winner Middleton and the leading broodmare Trampoline.

In a field of eighteen runners, she was made 3/1 favourite but finished unplaced behind Mr Scott Stonehewer's filly Variation, a 28/1 outsider.

[9] The runner-up lost any chance of creating an upset when she ran wide on the turn into the straight after being distracted by the presence her trainer, mounted on his hack on the outside of the course.

At the First Spring meeting at Newmarket on 18 April she started 6/5 favourite for a five furlong handicap, but finished third of the four runners behind Mr Cooke's colt Harold.
