Ragstone (horse)
Ragstone (1970–1978) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. A specialist stayer, he was unplaced in his only run as a two-year-old but won all four of his races in 1973. When moved up in class as a four-year-old he won the Aston Park Stakes and the Henry II Stakes before taking Britain's premier long distance race, the Ascot Gold Cup. After seven successive wins he was beaten in his next race and retired to stud. He showed some promise as a breeding stallion before dying at the age of eight.
==Background==
Ragstone was a very good-looking〔 bay horse with a short white sock on his left hind leg bred in England by his owner Bernard Fitzalan-Howard, 16th Duke of Norfolk. The Duke was a senior member of the Jockey Club and the Queen's representative at Ascot Racecourse.〔 〕 He was sired by Ragusa, the winner of Irish Derby, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and St. Leger Stakesin 1963 and the Eclipse Stakes in the following year. His other notable progeny included the Epsom Derby winner Morston, foaled in the same year as Ragstone. Ragstone was the first winner produced by his dam, Fotheringay, but the mare went on to produce Castle Moon, the dam of Moon Madness and Sheriff's Star. Fotheringay, a granddaughter of the influential broodmare Herringbone, was also the direct female-line ancestor of Celtic Swing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thoroughbred Bloodlines - Woodbine - Family 8-c )〕 Ragstone was trained throughout his racing career by John Dunlop at Arundel, West Sussex. He was ridden in his major races by the Australian jockey Ron Hutchinson and usually competed in a sheepskin noseband.
