Aurelius (horse)
Aurelius (foaled 1958) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1961 and for becoming one of the few classic winners to compete in steeplechases. As a two-year-old he finished fourth in his only appearance but was one of the best colts in Britain in the following year, winning the Craven Stakes and the King Edward VII Stakes before taking the St Leger. He was even better in 1962 when he won the Hardwicke Stakes and was narrowly beaten in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He was retired to stud but had serious fertility problems and later returned to the racecourse where he had a reasonably successful career in National Hunt racing.
==Background==
Aurelius was a big bay horse with a broad white blaze and three white socks bred in Ireland by the Tally Ho Stud. As a yearling he was offered for sale and was bought for 5,000 guineas by Noel Murless acting on behalf of Vera Lilley. His relatively modest sale price was reportedly because his unusual size was thought to make him potentially difficult to train. Murless trained the colt at his Warren Place stables in Newmarket, Suffolk.
Aurelius was sired by Aureole who won the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in the ownership of Queen Elizabeth II in 1954: Aureole's other successful progeny included St. Paddy, Provoke and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Saint Crespin. Aurelius's dam was Niobe, an American mare bred by William Woodward, Sr. who was bought and imorted to Ireland on the advice of Cecil Boyd-Rochfort. Niobe's dam was a full-sister to the 1944 Oaks winner Hycilla. A feature of Aurelius' pedigree was his close inbreeding to Hyperion.
