Lord Lyon (horse)
Lord Lyon (1863–1887) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1866 Epsom Derby, 2,000 Guineas Stakes and the St. Leger Stakes, becoming the third winner of the English Triple Crown. Lord Lyon raced until he was four-years old and was retired to stud in 1868. He is considered to be a marginally successful sire with his most notable progeny being the colt Minting and the filly Placida. He was euthanized in April 1887 after several years of failing health.
==Background==
Lord Lyon was foaled in 1863 at Oakley Hall, the stud farm of General Mark Pearson which was located twenty miles outside of Oakham in Northamptonshire. He was sired by Stockwell, winner of the 1852 St. Leger and 2,000 Guineas Stakes and a seven-time leading sire. Lord Lyon's dam, Paradigm, was not "fashionably bred" being sired by Paragone, a "3-guinea" sire noted more for producing hunt horses than racehorses. Paradigm's dam, Ellen Horne, was purchased by Pearson for around 18 guineas for his wife to use as a hack horse. Paradigm was an unsuccessful racehorse, running only twice and placing in the Lavender Stakes as a two-year-old before she fractured pastern while running in the Bentinck Memorial at Goodwood forcing her retirement from racing. Like her dam, Paradigm was also used as a hack before she entered the stud.〔 Paradigm was later heralded as a worthy broodmare. In 1864, she foaled Lord Lyon's full sister, Achievement, which won the 1867 St. Leger, Doncaster Stakes and Coronation Cup among many other races. Another full-sister, Chevisaunce, was the dam of the Epsom Oaks and St. Leger winning filly Jannette. Paradigm produced a total of 13 foals and also produced King at Arms, Man at Arms and Blue Mantle.〔
Lord Lyon was a bay horse that stood 15.3 hands high with "good bone, flat feet and very short pastern joints" and had four white socks. He was also described as "odd-shaped" and "not quite correctly balanced in all his points." According to his regular jockey Henry Custance, Lord Lyon was "a very slight whistler" until the condition was treated by firing (applying a hot rod, similar to pin firing) the back of his throat. Lord Lyon also possessed a docile and gentle temperament and was described by his trainer James Dover as "the quietest horse I have got."〔
