Shirley Heights (horse)
Shirley Heights (1975–1997) was a British-bred and British-trained Thoroughbred race horse, winner of the Epsom Derby in 1978. The colt had previously won the Royal Lodge Stakes and the Dante Stakes and went on to win the Irish Derby before his racing career was ended by injury. He went on to be a highly successful breeding stallion.
He is the last Epsom Derby winner to be ''both'' the son of a previous winner (Mill Reef, 1971), ''and'' the sire of a subsequent winner (Slip Anchor, 1985).
==Background==
Shirley Heights was a bay horse bred by his owners, the father and son team of Charles Wood, 2nd Earl of Halifax and Lord Irwin. He was one of many successful racehorses sired by Mill Reef, an American-bred horse who won the Epsom Derby, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1971. The successes of Shirley Heights enabled Mill Reef to win the first of his two British sires' championships in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leading Sires of Great Britain and Ireland )〕 His dam Hardiemma was a highly successful broodmare whose other descendants include Pentire and Divine Proportions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thoroughbred Bloodlines - Paraffin - Family 1-L )〕
The name Shirley Heights comes from a military lookout point in Antigua Mill Reef had been named after the Mill Reef Club on the same island. The colt was trained throughout his racing career by John Dunlop at Arundel in West Sussex.
