Right Tack
Right Tack (1966–1985) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from June 1968 to October 1969 he ran twelve times, winning eight races and finishing second three times. As a two-year-old he won his last five races included the Middle Park Stakes and was rated the second-best British colt of his generation. In the following year he became the first horse to win both the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh. After being retired from racing he stood as a breeding stallion in Ireland and Australia.
==Background==
Right Tack was a bay horse bred in County Meath, Ireland by Paul Larkin. As a weanling he was sent to the Dublin November sales where he was bought for 700 guineas by Philip O'Dwyer. A year later O'Dwyer was able to make a profit on the deal when he sold Right Tack for 3,200 guineas at the Doncaster yearling sale. The colt was bought by bloodstock agents acting on behalf of Jim Brown, a Dublin-based Englishman who sent him to be trained at Epsom by John Sutcliffe.
Right Tack was sired by Hard Tack out of the mare Polly Macaw. Hard Tack was a well-bred and talented horse whose racing career was cut short by his problematic temperament which made him difficult to train: he was awarded the § or "squiggle" symbol by Timeform for being unreliable and inconsistent.〔 Polly Macaw won five races but all of them were low-grade sprints and most of her career was spent in selling races. When she was sold at the end of her racing career Polly Macaw's price was 220 guineas: following Right Tack's success she was sold again for 20,000 guineas.
