Dickens Hill (horse)
Dickens Hill (foaled 25 January 1976) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and
sire. The colt showed promising form as a two-year-old in 1978, winning the Anglesey Stakes and being narrowly beaten by the English-trained Tap On Wood in the National Stakes. In the following year he emerged as the best Irish racehorse of his generation, winning the Ballymoss Stakes and the Irish 2000 Guineas in Ireland in spring and the weight-for-age Eclipse Stakes in Britain in July. He also finished runner-up to the outstanding English-trained colt Troy in both the Epsom Derby and the Irish Derby. At the end of his three-year-old season he was sold and exported to the United States where he made little impact as a racehorse and proved to be a disappointment as a breeding stallion.
==Background==
Dickens Hill was a chestnut horse with a white star and white socks on his hind legs bred by Frank Flannery's Egmont Stud in County Cork. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Mount Hagen, a horse owned and bred by Daniel Wildenstein, which won the Prix du Moulin in 1974. His dam London Life was a poor racehorse (rated 65 by Timeform) but a better broodmare, producing several other winners including Miralife, who finished third in the Irish 1000 Guineas.
As a yearling, the colt was sent to the Houghton sale at Newmarket where he was bought for 34,000 guineas by representatives of Mme Jean-Pierre Binet. He was sent into training with Mick O'Toole, best known for his handling of National Hunt horses including the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Davy Lad, and for his willingness to gamble heavily on his charges. The colt's name was originally rendered as ''Dickins Hill''.〔
