Hannibal (horse)

[5] At Ascot in June, Hannibal received a 50-guinea forfeiture from Mr. Warrington after his colt by Guildford withdrew from a match race.

[9] In the last start of his career on 26 July at Brighton, Hannibal participated in a match race against Mr. Mellish's colt Sancho.

[11] The running was described as "a great betting race"[11] and an engraving of the match (right) was commissioned from a painting by John Nott Sartorius and published in Volume 28 of the Sporting Magazine.

[13] Hannibal does not appear in the 1807 stallion register for Petworth or any other stud farm, suggesting that he died early in the 1806 breeding season or was sold for other purposes.

The General Stud Book reports Hannibal covering only three mares in 1806: Martha, Lord Grosvenor's mare Ariadne[14] and Quiz (full-sister to Wowski, Smolensko's dam)[15] before Ariadne and Quiz were sent to the West Indies.

The only foal recorded for Hannibal in the General Stud Book is the chestnut filly, Hannah, produced by Martha (by Woodpecker) in 1807.

* Hannibal is inbred 3D x 4D to the stallion Eclipse, meaning that he appears third and fourth generation on the dam side of his pedigree.
