Jack Hobbs (foaled 2 March 2012) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. After winning his only race as a juvenile, he established himself as a potentially top-class colt with a twelve length win in a race at Sandown on his three-year-old debut. He finished second to his stable companion Golden Horn in both the Dante Stakes and the Epsom Derby before winning the Irish Derby by five lengths. He ran twice more in 2015, winning the September Stakes before being beaten when favourite for the Champion Stakes. He will remain in training in 2016. ==Background== Jack Hobbs is a brown colt with a small white star and three white socks bred in the United Kingdom by Willie Carson's Gloucestershire-based Minster Stud.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Minster Stud )〕 He was sired by Halling, a top-class performer who won two editions of both the Eclipse Stakes and the International Stakes. Before Jack Hobbs, Halling's best offspring included Opinion Poll (Dubai Gold Cup), Cavalryman (Grand Prix de Paris) and Norse Dancer (Earl of Sefton Stakes).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Halling - Stud Record )〕 Jack Hobbs's dam Swain's Gold was a Kentucky-bred mare who won three races at Turf Paradise in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swain's Gold - Statistics )〕 Swain's Gold was daughter of the Orchid Handicap winner Golden Pond〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Golden Pond - Statistics )〕 who was in turn a granddaughter of Connaught's half-sister Daffodil Day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Poinsettia - Family 4-h )〕 Before foaling Jack Hobbs, Swain's Gold had produced the successful handicapper Niceofyoutotellme〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Niceofyoutotellme - Record By Race Type )〕 and a mare named Mrs Greeley who won three minor races. As a yearling in October 2013, the colt was consigned to the Tattersalls sale where he was bought for 60,000 guineas by Blandford Bloodstock.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tattersalls October Sale 2013 (Book 2) )〕 He then entered the ownership of Bailey, Hall & Rachel Hood and was sent into training with Hood's husband, John Gosden, at Newmarket, Suffolk.〔 The colt is named after the Surrey and England cricketer Jack Hobbs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jack Hobbs wins Irish Derby at the Curragh for John Gosden )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Hobbs (horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
