Reverence (horse)
Reverence is a British champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He is a specialist sprinter who was especially effective over five furlongs (1000m), recording all but one of his wins over the distance. Most unusually for a modern thoroughbred racehorse Reverence did not appear on a racecourse until he was four years old. In a career that has lasted from May 2005 until August 2011 he has run forty two times and won ten races. In 2006 he won two Group One races- the Nunthorpe Stakes at York and the Sprint Cup at Haydock- and was named European Champion Sprinter at the Cartier Racing Awards. Reverence ran his last race in August 2011.
==Background==
Reverence, a chestnut gelding with a narrow white stripe, was bred by his owners, the husband-and-wife team of Gary and Lesley Middlebrook at their Wood Farm Stud near Lake Windermere in Cumbria. Reverence was sired by Mark of Esteem an “outstanding” miler who won the 2000 Guineas and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 1996. He went on to become a successful stallion, siring the Classic winners Sir Percy (Epsom Derby) and Ameerat (1000 Guineas). Reverence’s dam, Imperial Bailiwick was a successful sprinter, winning the Flying Childers Stakes in 1993. In addition to Reverence, she has produced the Chesham Stakes winner Helm Bank.
Reverence was twice sent to the sales before he raced. As a yearling he was sent to the Tattersalls sale in October 2002, where he was “bought in”〔 for 97,000gns. He was sent into training with Mark Johnston but sustained a pelvic fracture and was unable to race as a two-year-old. At three he joined the Newmaket stable of William Haggas, but a recurrence of his pelvic injury again prevented him from running. In October 2004 he was sent back to Tattersalls as an unraced three-year-old colt, but was withdrawn from the sale after failing to attract a buyer. The Middlebrooks decided to send him to the small yard of Eric Alston at Longton, Lancashire as they believed that his flat training gallops would ease the horse's recovery. Alston, a former dairy farmer later recalled that his first impression of Reverence was of "a lovely horse... he had a lovely big eye and a great attitude."
