Mrs McArdy
Mrs McArdy (1974 – 5 August 1991) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic 1000 Guineas in 1977. She won four minor races as a two-year-old in 1977 before emerging as a top class performer in the following year. As a three-year-old she won the Tote Free Handicap before winning the Guineas as a 16/1 outsider. She went on to win the Fen Ditton Stakes when conceding weight to colts and older horses and then took the Strensall Stakes. She was exported to race in the United States but failed to reproduce her European form. After her retirement from racing she had some success as a broodmare. ==Background== Mrs McArdy was a "shapely, attractive" bay mare with a large white star bred by Christopher Beckett, 4th Baron Grimthorpe at his Westlow Hall stud near York. She was arguably the best horse sired by Tribal Chief, a sprinter who won the New Stakes and the Norfolk Stakes as a two-year-old in 1969. Her dam, Hanina, was a poor racehorse but was a granddaughter of Star of India the outstanding British two-year-old of 1955. In 1975, Lord Grimthorpe sold all his bloodstock, with most being bought by the trainer Mick Easterby. Easterby sold the horses on but kept Mrs McArdy and trained at her at his farm near Sheriff Hutton in Yorkshire. He later sold the filly privately to Edith Kettlewell the wife of a hotelier.
