Squirrel Horse Pedigree

Owner: Jenison Shafto
Breeder: William Cornforth

Ran between 1758 and 1760, suffering only two defeats (to Belford and Silvio). His major wins included a 1,400 guineas sweepstakes for 4 year olds at Newmarket October meet (1758); a 300 guineas win over Mystery at Newmarket (1759); a 500 guineas stakes win over Dapper (1760), and a 1,100 guineas stakes race against Jason. He injured a fetlock at Newmarket's second spring meeting (1760) during a match against Babram, and was retired.

He stood as a stallion for Shafto for 14 years, siring 183 winners of over 56,000 pounds sterling in stakes, including the good race horse Firetail. A highly significant broodmare sire, his daughters produced six classic winners--Teotum (1780 Oaks), Serina (1781 St. Leger), Ceres (1782 St. Leger), Trifle (1785 Oaks), Noble (1786 Derby), and Spadille (St. Leger 1787) and Young Flora (1788), the latter two own sister and brother.
