Hethersett (horse)
Hethersett (1959–1966) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for falling when favourite for the Epsom Derby and then winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1962. After showing promise as a two-year-old he was the highest-rated British three-year-old of 1962 when he also won the Brighton Derby Trial and the Great Voltigeur Stakes. After his success in the Leger, when he gave his trainer Dick Hern his first classic win, Hethersett never won again and was retired in 1963. He had a brief but successful stud career before his death at the age of seven.
==Background==
Hethersett was a powerfully-built bay horse with no white markings bred by his owner, Major Lionel Brook Holliday and named after a village in Norfolk. Holliday sent Hethersett to his private Lagrange stable at Newmarket, Suffolk where he was trained by Dick Hern.
Hethersett was sired by Hugh Lupus, a French-bred stallion who won the Champion Stakes in 1956. Hugh Lupus, who was inbred 2 × 3 to the stallion Tourbillon, suffered from low fertility at stud but sired several other good horses including the 1,000 Guineas winner Pourparler. Hugh Lupus and Hethersett were representatives of the Byerley Turk sire line, unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian. Hethersett's dam, Bride Elect (by Big Game) was a fast filly who won the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot for Holliday in 1954. However her dam, Netherton Maid was a stayer and finished 2nd in the Oaks: Netherton Maid's full sister, Neasham Belle, won the 1951 Oaks. Bride Elect had considerable success as a broodmare, producing several winners including the Eclipse Stakes runner-up Proud Chieftain.
