:Sultan (horse)

He was by Selim (sire of six classics winners), out of Bacchante by Williamson's Ditto. Sultan was inbred to three great sires, Herod (4m x 4f), Eclipse (4m x 4f), and Herod's best son, Highflyer (4 x 4). Sultan was a bay with a blaze, a sock on the off (right) fore and near (left) hind, and a stocking near the fore and off the hind leg. He had a refined, beautiful head, well-sprung ribs, deep girth, and muscular, powerful hindquarters. Although he was a long horse he was a good weight carrier and sound, racing until the age of eight.[http://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Sultan.html Thoroughbred Heritage: Sultan (GB)] Retrieved 2010-11-22

Sultan had a good race record, winning 14 times. As a two-year-old, racing for Crockford, he placed third in the July Stakes, and second in the Derby Stakes, losing to Tiresias. He was one of the favorites in the St. Leger Stakes, but broke down in his morning gallop before the race. As a four-year-old, he placed second in the Port Stakes. When he was five, he won the Gold Cup at Newmarket Racecourse. He beat Gustavus (a Derby winner) in a match race as a six-year-old.[http://www.bloodlines.net/TB/Bios/Sultan.htm Bloodlines: Sultan (GB)] Retrieved 2010-11-22

When he was seven, Sultan was purchased by Lord Exeter. Racing for him, the stallion won the Trial Stakes for a second time, another race at Newmarket, which was his preferred venue for running.

Sultan was then retired to the Marquis' stud farm at Burghley. He went on to be the leading sire in Great Britain & Ireland for six consecutive years (1832-1837).Morris, Simon; Tesio Power 2000 - Stallions of the World, Syntax Software
