Maid of Orleans (horse)
Maid of Orleans (1806–1825) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic Oaks Stakes at Epsom Downs Racecourse in 1809. Unraced as a two-year-old, Maid of Orleans won her first race at Newmarket in April 1809 and then won the Oaks as a 16/1 outsider, beating her more fancied stable companion. The filly won only one of her remaining seven races, and was retired from racing at the end of 1810.
==Background==
Maid of Orleans was a bay mare bred by General John Leveson Gower, in whose pink and black colours she raced in 1809. She was the fourth foal of her dam, an unnamed mare by Potoooooooo who was a full sister of both the Epsom Derby and St Leger Stakes winner Champion and to Lady Sophia, dam of the 1000 Guineas winner Charlotte and grand-dam of the Derby winner Mameluke. The "Sister to Champion" (as the Potoooooooo mare is sometimes known) also produced Advance, whose daughter Galata won the 1000 Guineas, Oaks and Ascot Gold Cup.
Her sire, Sorcerer, was bred by Sir Charles Bunbury and was a half-brother of the 1801 Derby winning mare Eleanor. Sorcerer was an unusually large black horse who won several important races and became a successful breeding stallion. His progeny included the Derby winner Smolensko, the 2000 Guineas winners Wizard and Trophonius, and the Oaks winners Morel and Sorcery. Sorcerer was the Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 1811, 1812 and 1813.
Leveson Gower sent the filly to be trained at Newmarket by Robert Robson, the so-called "Emperor of Trainers". She was ridden in most of her races by Ben Moss.
