Attraction (horse)
Attraction (foaled 19 February 2001) is a retired British racehorse who was bred in Scotland and trained in England. She won several important races and was the first horse to win both the 1000 Guineas and the Irish 1000 Guineas. In a career which lasted from 2003 to 2005 she ran fifteen times and won ten races. She was also well known for her unusual and distinctive action.
==Background==
Attraction was bred by her owner the Duke of Roxburghe at his stud at Floors Castle, near Kelso, Scotland. She is one of many good horses sired by Efisio and is half-sister to several minor winners.
Attraction's status as a thoroughbred is slightly contentious, as, unlike the overwhelming majority of racehorses, her family cannot be traced back to one of the accepted foundation mares. The family was therefore considered "half-bred", until it was admitted to the General Stud Book in 1969.
Attraction was born with crooked forelegs, a flaw that became even more apparent when she galloped. Because of this, her breeder believed that it would be impossible to sell her, and decided to race her under his own colours. Her action was variously described as resembling "a helicopter" and "a demented haymaker wielding a scythe",〔 while one of her prospective trainers said that "it looked as though God had taken a day off when he created her",. She was eventually sent into training with Mark Johnston at Middleham, North Yorkshire.
