Celeric
Celeric is a retired, British Thoroughbred racehorse. He improved from running in minor handicaps to Group One level, and recorded his most important win in the 1997 Ascot Gold Cup. In the same year he was named European Champion Stayer at the Cartier Racing Awards. He won thirteen of his forty-two races in a career which lasted from 1994 until his retirement at the age of eight in 2000. Together with Double Trigger, Kayf Tara and Persian Punch he was one of a group of horses credited with revitalising the staying division in the 1990s.
==Background==
Celeric, a bay gelding with a white stripe was bred by the Chievely Manor Stud, a tiny operation based in the "back garden" of his owner Christopher Spence. His sire Mtoto was an outstanding middle-distance horse winning the Eclipse Stakes twice and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. At stud Mtoto sired the winners of more than five hundred races including the Epsom Derby winner Shaamit and the leading National Hunt sire Presenting. He was notable as an influence for stamina, with the average winning distance of his progeny being 11.5 furlongs.
Celeric’s dam Hot Spice was unraced, but was a successful broodmare: in addition to Celeric she produced the St. Simon Stakes winner Sesame and the successful handicapper Turmeric. Hot Spice's foals were all given herb or spice related names with others including Camomile and Zucchini. Celeric’s name was reported to be a misspelling of Celeriac.
Celeric was trained by David Morley until the trainer's death in January 1998. He was then moved to the Arundel stable of John Dunlop. His most regular jockey was Pat Eddery who rode him in eighteen races. Celeric was known as a "tricky customer" who tended to stop when in front, and therefore needed to be ridden with skill and timing.
