Seabreeze (horse)

She was owned by Frederick Henry William Gough-Calthorpe, 5th Baron Calthorpe, and trained by James Jewitt.

St Marguerite also had success as a broodmare, also foaling Roquebrune, the dam of Triple Crown winner Rock Sand.

[4] Seabreeze made her racecourse début on 15 April 1887 at the Newmarket Craven meeting in the Fitzwilliam Plate.

Anarch then lost ground, but came back in the closing stages to win by a neck from Baron Rothschild's Robert the Devil filly.

[5] On 8 June at Royal Ascot Seabreeze started as a 5/1 shot for the Biennial Stakes over five and half furlong two-year-old course.

Seabreeze led the field from the start and despite being challenged by Dieman's Land in the final two furlongs, she extended her lead and won by five lengths.

After a couple of false starts, Friar's Balsam, racing down the centre of the track, led the field.

At the half-way point of the five and a half furlong race, Bartizan faded away, promoting Seabreeze to second and Ayrshire to third place.

[7] At Newmarket she finished second, three quarters of a length behind odds-on favourite Friar's Balsam, in the July Stakes.

In the final 100 yards of the race, Seabreeze challenged leader Disappointment and beat her by a neck, with the pair being four lengths clear of third placed Love in Idleness.

[15] At Royal Ascot Seabreeze started as the odds-on favourite for the one-mile Rous Memorial Stakes.

Seabreeze took the lead in the second half of race, but was caught and passed by the four-year-old colt Phil in the final 100 yards.

[16] Two days later she took part in the Coronation Stakes, a one-mile race for three-year-old fillies, for which she was made the odds-on favourite.

Seabreeze shot into the lead in the closing stages of the race and won easily by two lengths from Estafette, who was a neck ahead of Love in Idleness.

[17] At Glorious Goodwood it had been raining early in the meeting, and on 1 August it was said "a smaller attendance has never been seen here" and the ground was described as "terribly heavy".

After a quarter of a mile Ayrshire was pulled back and Estafette went into the lead from Ossory, with Seabreeze now in third place.

After half a mile Ossory was ridden to regain the lead, Seabreeze having fallen back slightly to fifth.

With half a mile left to run Seabreeze overtook Ossory to take the lead, the pair being followed by Chillington and Ayrshire.

At the turn into the finishing straight Ayrshire went second, but then faded, leaving Seabreeze to be challenged by Chillington and Zanzibar.

[23] On 22 September she was the 5/2 favourite for the valuable Lancashire Plate, a weight-for-age race run over seven furlongs at Manchester Racecourse.

Ayrshire took the lead two furlongs from home, followed by La Sancy and Phil, as Seabreeze made quick progress through the field and moved into fourth place.

Despite her victories the previous season she started at 10/1, with the opposition including Friar's Balsam, Melanion and Ayrshire.

[26] In the Rous Memorial Stakes at Royal Ascot she started as favourite for the first time since the Lancashire Plate.

At the halfway point Seabreeze and El Dorado, drew up to Love in Idleness, who had led since the start.

Seabreeze looked beaten with a quarter of a mile left to run and played no part in the finish.
