Oxygen (horse)
Oxygen (foaled 1828, died in winter 1854–1855) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic Oaks Stakes at Epsom Downs Racecourse in 1831. In a racing career which lasted from July 1830 until April 1833 she won eight of her fifteen races and finished second on five occasions. Oxygen's Oaks was the last of twenty classic wins for her owner George FitzRoy, 4th Duke of Grafton.〔
Oxygen was regarded the leading two-year-old filly in the South of England in 1830, when she won two of her three races. At three she was beaten in a controversial race when odds-on favourite for the 1000 Guineas but returned to form to win the Oaks a month later. In the following year she won an important handicap race at Newmarket and defeated the leading stayer Lucetta in a King's Plate over three and a half miles. She was retired from racing after a single unsuccessful race as a five-year-old and was retired to stud, where she had some success as a broodmare.
==Background==
Oxygen was a bay mare with a white star bred by her owner the 4th Duke of Grafton at his stud at Euston Hall in Suffolk. Oxygen's sire, Emilius, won the Derby in 1823 and went on to become a successful stallion at the Riddlesworth stud which was owned and run by Thomas Thornhill. Apart from Oxygen, Emilius’s best winners included Priam, Plenipotentiary, Riddlesworth (2000 Guineas) and Mango (St Leger) and he was British Champion sire in 1830 and 1831.
Pastille's dam, Whizgig was a daughter of the Duke of Grafton's outstanding broodmare Penelope, making her a half-sister to Derby winners Whalebone and Whisker. Whizgig was a top-class racemare who won seven races including the 1822 1000 Guineas. Oxygen was her third foal.
