Chatham (horse)

Chatham (foaled 1928) was an outstanding Australian Thoroughbred racehorse that was bred by Percy Miller at the Kia Ora Stud near Scone, New South Wales.

His dam Myosotis was a granddaughter of the 1899 English Triple Crown winner, Flying Fox.

Chatham was sold at the 1930 Sydney yearling sales for 650 guineas to trainer, Ike Foulsham.

He is also well known for his win in the 1934 Doncaster Handicap in which he carried a weight of 10 st 4 lb on a heavy track and won after missing the start.

[4] Chatham was one of the great runners in the inter-war period and in 2005 was inducted in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.
