Hycilla
Hycilla (1941 – 1953) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare, who raced during World War II and was best known for winning the classic Oaks Stakes in 1944. Unraced as a juvenile, she finished second on her three-year-old debut before winning the Oaks, which was run that year at Newmarket Racecourse. She was beaten when favourite for the St Leger but ended her year with a win in the Champion Stakes. In the following year she failed to win but ran well in defeat when third in a strongly-contested Coronation Cup. She was retired to become a broodmare in the United States but made little impact, producing four minor stakes winners.
==Background==
Hycilla was a chestnut filly bred and owned by the American banker William Woodward, Sr.. She was from the ninth crop of foals sired by Hyperion an outstanding racehorse who won the Epsom Derby and the St Leger in 1933 becoming a highly-successful breeding stallion who was the Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland on six occasions. Hycilla's dam, Priscilla Carter, who spent most of her breeding career at Woodward's Middleton Stud in Ireland, was an unraced daughter of Omar Khayyam the British-bred winner of the 1917 Kentucky Derby. Her other foals included the Doncaster Cup winner Alcazar,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RACING NEWS )〕 Isolater, who won two editions of the Saratoga Cup and Humility, the grand-dam of Aurelius. Priscilla Carter was bred in the United States and as her granddam Pyramid was sired by Hastings (a descendant of Lexington), Priscilla Carter was not eligible for entry into the ''General Stud Book'' under the rules of the Jersey Act. Consequently, Hycilla was designated as a "half-bred" Thoroughbred while racing and was also not entered into the stud book in the United Kingdom. Woodward sent Hycilla into training with Cecil Boyd-Rochfort at his Freemason Lodge Stable in Newmarket, Suffolk.〔
Hycilla's racing career took place during World War II during which horse racing in Britain was subject to many restrictions. Several major racecourses, including Epsom and Doncaster, were closed for the duration of the conflict, either for safety reasons, or because they were being used by the military. Many important races were rescheduled to new dates and venues, often at short notice, and all five of the Classics were usually run at Newmarket. Wartime austerity also meant that prize money was reduced: Hycilla's Oaks was worth £3,483 compared to the £8,043 earned by Galatea in 1939.〔
