Papyrus (horse)
Papyrus (1920–1941) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from spring 1922 to October 1924 he ran eighteen times and nine races. He was a leading two-year-old in 1922 and in the following year he gained his most important success when he won the Epsom Derby. Later that season he gained international attention when he was sent to New York for an unsuccessful match race against the Kentucky Derby winner Zev. This was the earliest example of a British horse being sent across the Atlantic for a single race. After running four times without winning in 1924 he was retired to stud where he had limited success until his death in 1941.
==Background==
Papyrus a medium-sized brown horse "of fine quality" with a white star, was bred by Sir John Robinson at the Worksop Manor Stud in Nottinghamshire. He was sired by the American-bred Tracery, a son of Rock Sand who was sent to Britain to race following the passing of the Hart-Agnew Law and whose wins included the 1912 St Leger. He later became a highly successful sire, with his best runners apart from Papyrus including The Panther (2000 Guineas) and Transvaal (Grand Prix de Paris). Tracery was exported to Argentina but was returned to England following Papyrus's Derby victory. Papyrus's dam, Miss Matty never won a race, but produced several other winners at stud.
As a yearling, Papyrus was put up for auction at the Doncaster Sales, where he was sold for 3,500 guineas to the trainer Basil Jarvis on behalf of Benjamin Irish, a wealthy farmer. Irish was considered a "lucky" owner as he had great success despite owning very few racehorses. Jarvis trained the colt at Newmarket, Suffolk.
