Hollandoise

Hollandoise, or alternatively Hollandaise, (1775–1782) was a grey British Thoroughbred mare that won the 1778 St. Leger Stakes, the first horse to win the event under its formal title.

Virago was a successful racehorse in the 1760s that won races over long distances, including multiple King's Plates, before she was retired to Stapleton and Gascoigne's stud.

[8] Bets were laid 5-2 against Hollandoise with the favorite being a colt sired by Wildair owned by Sir John L. Kaye.

Ridden by George Herring, she beat seven horses, the Wildair colt second, in what was deemed an "easy" race.

Lord Clermont received 85 guineas from Mr. Wentworth when his horse Fearnought backed out of a match race.

[1] A correspondent from Sporting Magazine wrote years after her death that the horse was "allowed to be as good a mare as any that ever ran in England.
