North Stoke (horse)
North Stoke (4 April 1974 – 1979) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed promise when winning two of his three races as a two-year-old in 1976. In the following year he was campaigned internationally and made consistent improvement to emerge as one of the leading middle-distance colts of the year with six consecutive victories. After two wins in handicap races in England he took the Grand Prix de Bruxelles in Belgium, the Land of Burns Stakes in Scotland, the Fürstenberg-Rennen in Germany and the Joe McGrath Memorial Stakes in Ireland. Despite a defeat in the Champion Stakes he was rated the best British-trained colt of his generation by Timeform. North Stoke had little opportunity to make his mark as a breeding stallion, dying after one season at stud.
==Background==
North Stoke was a "rangy"〔 chestnut horse with no white markings bred in Ireland. He was sired by Northfields, an American horse whose biggest win came in the Louisiana Derby in 1971, before spending most of his stud career in Europe. His other winners included Northjet, Oats, Northern Treasure (Irish 2000 Guineas) and No Pass No Sale (Poule d'Essai des Poulains). North Stoke's dam, Mother, won over five furlongs as a two-year-old and went on to become a successful broodmare, producing at least three other winners including Anfield (Railway Stakes, Desmond Stakes). Mother was a great-granddaughter of Majideh, a very influential broodmare whose other descendants included Masaka, Gallant Man, Kahyasi, Lashkari, Law Society, Milan and Son of Love.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Belvoirina - Family 5-e )〕
In October 1975 the yearling colt was offered for sale at Newmarket, Suffolk and was bought for 820 guineas by the bloodstock agent Geoffrey Howson who described the day of the sale as the best of his career. Commenting on the low price Timeform called it "the bargain of the year, possibly the bargain of many a year". He entered the ownership of Mr Marcel Lequieme and was sent into training with John Dunlop at Arundel, West Sussex.〔 〕 North Stoke was ridden in most of his races by the Australian jockey Ron Hutchinson who held a "very high opinion" of the colt.
