Compton Place (horse)
Compton Place (foaled 20 April 1994) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse, best-known for his 50/1 upset victory in the 1997 July Cup. As a juvenile in 1996 he won two minor races and finished second in both the Gimcrack Stakes and the Flying Childers Stakes. In the following year he was beaten in his first two starts before defeating a strong field including Royal Applause and Bahamian Bounty to win the July Cup. He failed to display his best form in four subsequent races and was retired in August 1998. He later became a successful breeding stallion.
==Background==
Compton Place was a chestnut horse with a white blaze and three white socks〔http://www.sporthorse-data.com/horse/10060293/383/Horse_Compton_Place.jpg〕 bred in England by R J Turner. He was sired by Indian Ridge, a sprinter who won the King's Stand Stakes in 1989,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Ridge - Record By Race Type )〕 before becoming a successful breeding stallion best-known for siring the outstanding filly Ridgewood Pearl.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Ridge - Stud Record )〕 Indian Ridge was a representative of the Byerley Turk sire line, unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian. Compton Place's dam, Nosey, won three races as a two-year-old in Ireland in 1983. She was a great-great granddaughter of Benane who was a half-sister of the St Leger winner Turkhan and the Ascot Gold Cup winner Ujiji.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constance - Family 6-d )〕
As a yearling, the colt was sent to the Goffs sale in Ireland in October 1995 and was bought for IR£92,000 by the bloodstock agent Charles Gordon-Watson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goffs sale 1995 )〕 Compton Place entered the ownership of Andrew Cavendish, 11th Duke of Devonshire and was sent into training with James Toller in Newmarket, Suffolk.The colt was named after Compton Place, a country house in East Sussex owned by the Dukes of Devonshire.
