Persian Gulf (horse)
Persian Gulf (1940–1964) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, who raced during World War II. He was a slow-maturing horse who did not race until he was three years old and failed to win in his first season although he finished fourth in both the Derby and the St Leger. As a four-year-old in 1944 he established himself as arguably the best horse in Britain by winning four of his five races, culminating with an emphatic win in a substitute Coronation Cup. His racing career was ended by injury less than a month later. He later became a very successful breeding stallion, siring several major winners.
==Background==
Persian Gulf was a bay horse with a white star bred in the United Kingdom by his owner Lady Zia Wernher, a daughter of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia. He was sired by the Aga Khan's stallion Bahram the winner of the Triple Crown in 1935. Bahram was not a great success as a stallion but did sire Big Game and the St Leger winner Turkhan before being exported to the United States in 1941. Persian Gulf's dam Double Life was bought as a yearling for 600 guineas by Cecil Boyd-Rochfort on behalf of Zia Wernher in October 1927.〔 She proved to be a top-class racemare, winning the Cambridgeshire Handicap in 1929. After her retirement from racing she became a highly influential broodmare: in addition to Persian Gulf she produced Precipitation and was the female-line ancestor of Meld, Charlottown, Kalaglow, Ramonti and Shahtoush.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crucifix - Family 2-i )〕
Persian Gulf was trained throughout his racing career by Boyd-Rochfort at his Freemason Lodge stable at Newmarket, Suffolk.〔
Why Hurry's racing career took place during World War II during which horse racing in Britain was subject to many restrictions. Several major racecourses, including Epsom and Doncaster, were closed for the duration of the conflict, either for safety reasons, or because they were being used by the military. Many important races were rescheduled to new dates and venues, often at short notice, and all five of the Classics were usually run at Newmarket.
