Remembrancer (horse)

Remembrancer was a bay horse bred by his owner John Bowes, 10th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne at Streatlam Castle in County Durham.

[1] Remembrancer's dam, Queen Mab was a highly influential broodmare with many successful racehorses among her direct descendants, including Hill Prince, Indian Skimmer, King's Theatre and Henrythenavigator.

In the opening race of the day he started 2/1 second favourite for a two-mile sweepstakes and won from Mr Hutton's chestnut colt (later named Saxoni).

[6] The colt next appeared at York Racecourse in August, where he upset the odds-on favourite Doncaster (owned by Lord Darlington) in a two-mile sweepstakes for three-year-olds.

His rivals included Lord Grey's bay colt and Sir Frank Standish's brother to Stamford, horses which had finished second and third to Ditto in The Derby.

On the following afternoon the Leger winner ran in the four mile Gold Cup and won the weight-for-age contest from Mr Garforth's bay colt and two others.

He began his season at York in August where he started odds-on favourite for a division of the Great Subscription, but broke down injured in finishing second to Ferguson.

Her direct, female-line descendants have won many important races throughout the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries including the British Classic winners Nijinsky, El Gran Senor and The Minstrel as well as the notable North American runners Blue Larkspur, Birdstone, Rags to Riches.
