Question for the historians

Postby Denise » Tue Apr 12, 2005 1:40 pm

I know about the father/son winners of the TC, but have there ever been any siblings to win any combo of TC races?

The mare, Leisure, had two sons win the Preakness. The half-siblings Royal Tourist by Sandringham in 1908, and Holiday by Broomstick in 1914.

Prudery produced Whiskery (1927 Kentucky Derby) and Victorian (1928 Preakness).

Almost forgot Maggie B. B., a great foundation mare. She produced Iroquois, the first American-bred to win England's Derby Stakes; Harold, winner of the 1879 Preakness, and Panique, winner of the 1884 Belmont Stakes. Quite a trio! Harold and Iroquois were full brothers, by the way, both being by *Leamington, while Panique was by Alarm.

On the fillies' side of the house, the full sisters How and Cherokee Rose (*Princequillo--*The Squaw II) won the Coaching Club American Oaks in 1948 and 1951, respectively, while the full sisters Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell (Man o' War--The Nurse) won the same race in 1925 and 1926. And Blue Delight produced three winners of the Kentucky Oaks: Real Delight (1952), Bubbley (1953), and Princess Turia (1956). Real Delight and Bubbley were both by Bull Lea, while Princess Turia was by *Heliopolis.

Oh, and Whiskery and Victorian were full brothers by Whisk Broom II.
