While characters like Dangerfield and Merryman suffer from physical impotence, others like Lionel are emotionally sterile. In his raving, Lionel commits a crime by raping the girl he professes to love. Keepwell, too, who is ruled by a courtesan, seems less than a man.

At the end of his racing career, Diamond Shoal was syndicated and retired to become a breeding stallion at the Walmac-Warnerton farm in Kentucky at an initial fee of $25,000. When he was older, he was exported to Japan. He was not a successful tallion but did sire a few good winners including Stormy Deep, an Ohio-bred gelding who won 17 races between 1989 and 1993. Diamond Shoal's last recorded foals were born in Japan in 1995.
A chestnut gelding, Phar Lap was foaled on 4 October 1926 in Seadown near Timaru in the South Island of New Zealand. He was sired by Night Raid from Entreaty by Winkie.

Denman was a very dark-coated chestnut gelding, bred in County Cork by Colman O'Flynn, who also bred his Grade One winning full brother, Silverburn. He was sent to the 2004 Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale as a four-year-old but this proved fruitless when one of the vets present said that the young "store" (a horse gelded early and intended for jump racing) could benefit from a hobday operation on his windpipe to improve his breathing.
The summer of 2001 brought victories in Copenhagen Cup, Jubileumspokalen, and Sundsvall Open Trot. In October, Victory Tilly competed outside Scandinavia for the first time, when he won Gran Premio Gaetano Turilli at Tor di Valle, Rome.

Shiel when pregnant with the foal who would be named Rakwool. The horse's earliest training was handled by Shiel's daughter, Dorothy.
As a gelding, Cross Counter was ineligible to run in the St Leger and there was speculation that he would be sent to Australia to contest the Melbourne Cup. Charlie Appleby's assistant Alex Merriam said "he's improving all the time. He's a big raw horse and I think there is some more improvement to come. He's been gelded – he was a bit of a boy back in the day and Charlie thought it was the best thing to do".
The race was run on the Spiral Stakes undercard. In 2020, Nun the Less, a gelding son of Candy Ride, became the first horse to win the race twice, having won it the first time the previous year. He also became the oldest horse to win the race, winning in 2020 at age 8.

After another defeat at Kelso in February the gelding was off the course for several months as National Hunt racing was interrupted by the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, before returning for his 100th race at Southwell Racecourse on 22 July. Before the race Geoff Sanderson was cautiously optimistic, saying "He's a great jumper. Safe as houses... His only problem, really, is the bits in between the jumps. Let's just say he's not the quickest".
In 2006 Andreas Schütz set up shop in Hong Kong, China where he has continued to win major races. After taking over the conditioning of Good Ba Ba, he guided the gelding to four consecutive Group One race wins and 2007/2008 Hong Kong Horse of the Year honors.

It was hoped that he would return in time for the Gold Cup but the injury proved more serious and he was ruled out for the rest of the season. At the time, Henderson described the decision to rest the horse as "precautionary more than anything and luckily he is a young horse with half his career still ahead of him".
Jay Eye See's name (also spelled "Jay-Eye-See") was a pun on the initials of his owner, threshing machine manufacturer Jerome Case. Harness racing was the sport of choice among the wealthy in the 1880s, and Jay Eye See was Mr. Case's favorite horse.

I know he stays all day so I though I would put it up to Beef or Salmon and see what happened". Mullins reiterated his belief that the gelding had "a huge engine", but admitted that "jumping is just not his forte".

Most veterinarians remove the testis held most "tightly" (or close to the body) by the cremaster muscle first, so as to minimize the risk of the horse withdrawing it to the point where it is inaccessible. The horse, now a gelding, is allowed to recover. Standing castration can be performed in more complicated cases. Some authorities have described a technique for the removal of abdominally retained testes from cryptorchid animals,Hanrath, M., and Rodgerson, D.H. (2002).
Tippity Witchet was a son of the great sire Broomstick who was the son of Ben Brush. His dam was a daughter of St. Simon, one of Great Britain's greatest stallions.

Tippity Witchet was bred in Kentucky by the stables of Harry Payne Whitney who owned his famous sire and was owned by Harry Payne Whitney.
Plans to contest the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham had to be abandoned after the gelding injured muscles in his back in a paddock accident later that month. Michael Bowen said "I'm devastated that we might not make it. I'm sorry for all the people in the locality who have booked trips to the Festival". On 7 April, Limestone Lad returned in a two-mile flat race at the Curragh and finished third behind Ned Kelly and Beef or Salmon.
He uses cruel bits and sharp spurs on his mounts, and wears fancy, expensive clothes that make him look like a Hollywood cowboy. Linc thinks of many schemes to make money and capture the Phantom, trying to prove he's a cowboy and not just a Western-wannabe throughout the entire series. He often uses Champ, a palomino gelding previously owned by the Kenworthys, as a riding horse. He is outsmarted by Brynna and Sam many times.
Roy H is a bay gelding who was bred in Kentucky by Ramona S. Bass, LLC. His sire is More Than Ready, who won the King's Bishop Stakes and finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby.

On 29 April Cirrus des Aigles returned to France to contest the Prix Ganay. He started odds-on favourite and led after 100m.
They are also more widely accepted. Many boarding stables will refuse clients with stallions or charge considerably more money to keep them. Some types of equestrian activity, such as events involving children, or clubs that sponsor purely recreational events such as trail riding, may not permit stallions to participate. However, just as some pet owners may have conflicting emotions about neutering a male dog or cat, some stallion owners may be unsure about gelding a stallion.
Crusade was entered in the Irish 2000 Guineas but did not run in the races, instead making his first appearance of the year in the Greenlands Stakes over six furlongs at the Curragh on 26 May in which he was matched against older horses.

My Tent Or Yours began his third season in the Grade I Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle Racecourse on 30 November and started 8/11 favourite ahead of Melodic Rendezvous who had won the Elite Hurdle three weeks earlier. The gelding fought against McCoy' attempts to restrain him in the early stages, but moved into the lead two hurdles out and won by three lengths from the mare Cockney Sparrow. McCoy described the victory as "a good performance, a good starting point" but pointed out that the gelding was much the best horse in the race on previous form and was expected to win easily. On 26 December at Kempton Park Racecourse My Tent Or Yours faced The New One in a race for the Grade I Christmas Hurdle. Since beating My Tent Or Yours at Aintree in 2012, The New One had won six races including the Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle and the International Hurdle and was favoured in the betting at 5/6 while My Tent Or Yours starting at 11/8 in a field of six.

In the early 1970s, in an apparent attempt to modernise the image of the company, the symbol was secretly gelded. The more observant staff of the company noticed the change, and saw it as a portent of things to come. Subsequently, the trademark was changed, with some fanfare, to a stylised horse head, as shown on the label shown above. A more recent annual report (1995) showed both the gelding and a knight, located on the corner of a chess board.
Coming into the home stretch his three length lead diminished to a single length. Holiday was tiring badly but held on to win by 3/4 of length from second choice Brave Cunarder with another 1-1/2 lengths back to Defendum for third. Holiday finished the classic in a final time of 1:58 flat under jockey Andy Schuttinger for the one and one eighth mile race. Holiday was the last gelding to win the race until Prairie Bayou won in 1993.
Robbery combined with violence was "the sort of offence, second only to premeditated murder (a relatively uncommon crime), most likely to be prosecuted and punished to [the law's] utmost rigour". Turpin had stolen several horses while operating under the pseudonym of Palmer. In July 1737 he stole a horse from Pinchbeck in Lincolnshire, and took it to visit his father at Hempstead. When Turpin returned to Brough (stealing three horses along the way) he left the gelding with his father.
Rembrandt was foaled in 1977 by Herbert de Baey. His sire was Romadour II, a famous Westphalian stallion during the 1970s, and his dam was Adone, full sister to Ahlerich, a multiple Olympic medal winning dressage horse under German rider Reiner Klimke. Due to his Thoroughbred-like appearance, several riders passed over a chance to purchase the gelding as a youngster. In 1981, he was purchased by Nicole Uphoff's father, Jürgen Uphoff, as a mount for his then-14-year-old daughter.
Paul Jones (1917–1930) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that was the sixth gelding to win the Kentucky Derby. Paul Jones was foaled in the same year as Man o' War, winner of the 1920 Preakness and Belmont Stakes and one of the most influential sires of the 20th century. Man o' War was not entered in the 1920 Kentucky Derby because it was thought that a race so early in the season would be too taxing for him.Avalyn Hunter.
After the results of the licensing are announced, many are auctioned off to new homes at stallion stations, or as gelding prospects bound for performance homes. The "Old Stallion Parade" occurs on the last day, showcasing all the fully approved, performance tested stallions. However, this event is not just a pageant, as the offspring of mature stallions are subject to intense scrutiny. The best stallions of their age class, based on their offspring, receive a "premium" or award for their achievements in breeding.
Blitz has periodically taken lessons from six-time Olympic rider Robert Dover. Blitz's competition horse since prior to the Pan American Games is a Danish Warmblood gelding named Paragon, who stands and is estimated to weigh 1,600 pounds. Blitz herself bred Paragon, attended his foaling, and began training him herself when he was three years old. She initially got the idea to breed him after riding his dam on a farm in Louisiana and being impressed with her gaits and temperament.
Un de Sceaux is a bay gelding with two white socks bred in France by the Haras de La Rousseliere (based in Soulaire-et-Bourg) & Mme M. Choveau. His sire, Denham Red, won over hurdles in France before becoming a successful sire of jumpers. Un de Sceaux's dan Hotesse de Sceaux was officially an AQPS mare as her damsire Diarifos was not a Thoroughbred. During the early part of his racing career, the horse was trained in France by his owner Fabrice Foucher.
After the race Mullins expressed the view that the gelding had returned to his best form. In the lead up to Cheltenham it was clear that many pundits and bookies still doubted whether the 2011 champion could act on the track. Paddy Power gave a money back special that if Hurricane Fly won, all losing bets would be refunded. A huge crowd travelled over from Ireland in expectation of what was about to unfold and to support their hero, Hurricane Fly.
At the end of the month Reverence produced his best performance to date in the Group Two Temple Stakes at Sandown. Kevin Darley had the gelding up with the pace from the start and moved him into the lead at half way. Reverence went clear approaching the final furlong and ran on well on the soft ground to win by one and a quarter lengths from The Trader, with Les Arcs unplaced. The performance established Reverence as one of the country's leading sprinters.
Ladas had some success at stud, siring the Classic winners Gorgos and Troutbeck. Another successful offspring was the gelding Epsom Lad, who won the Eclipse Stakes and the Princess of Wales's Stakes as a four-year-old in 1901. In total, he sired the winners of 196 races and £97,000 in winnings. By 1912 he had been retired from active stud duty and become extremely bad tempered: one writer said that the old stallion had "worn himself out with his restlessness and peevishness".
Kingarvie's pedigree and partial racing stats Trained by Arthur Brent, in his first two races at age two Kingarvie was beaten by fellow future Hall of Fame inductee, Windfields. He then went on a ten-race winning streak that extended into 1946 which included the 87th running of the King's Plate when jockey Johnny Dewhurst rode him to victory. The King's Plate is Canada's most prestigious race. A gelding, Kingarvie continued racing until 1953 when he was retired at age ten.
Neji (1950–1982) was an American Champion Thoroughbred steeplechase racehorse. Foaled in England, Neji was purchased at age three by Lillian Bostwick Phipps who brought the gelding to race in the United States under future Hall of Fame trainer Pete Bostwick.

The gelding went on to win a chase at Newbury, but on his first appearance at the Cheltenham Festival he fell in the Kim Muir Chase.
On his final appearance of the season he carried top weight to victory in the Golden Miller Chase at Cheltenham in April. Richard Dunwoody took over as Charter Party's regular jockey in the 1986/7 National Hunt season. The campaign was not a successful one, as the gelding failed to win in six races. He finished fourth on his debut at Wincanton, was pulled up in the Hennessy Gold Cup and ran third in under top- weight in the Mandarin Chase.
From 101 starts in eight years, Kaweah Bar won thirty-six races, coming in second seventeen times and third twelve times.

Holeman said the horse stood at only 14.1 hands, but he fit her style instantly. Sparky was a sorrel gelding. Holeman said, :I got him the end of June 2001 and by the Fourth of July, we were placing at the amateur rodeos,” Holeman says. “He was real green but he just took to it well.
Gray represented the United States at the Dressage World Championships in 1978, and at the 1991 Dressage World Cup in Paris. In 1980, Gray rode Beppo, a Holsteiner gelding, for the American team at the Alternate Olympics dressage event at Goodwood House, in West Sussex, England. In 1988, she competed in dressage on Later On with the United States Equestrian Team in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Gray is a United States Dressage Federation instructor and clinician, as well as one of the founders of the non-profit Emerging Dressage Athlete Program for young riders.
In March 2001 Pipalong was sent to the United Arab Emirates for the Dubai Golden Shaheen but finished tenth of the fifteen runners behind the American gelding Caller One. On her return to Europe she attempted to repeat her 2000 success in the Palace House Stakes but ran unplaced behind Rushcutter Bay. On 17 May Pipalong started a 14/1 outsider in her second attempt to win the Duke of York Stakes. Bertolini started favourite ahead of Astonished with Bahamian Pirate, Vision of Night and Hot Tin Roof also among the fourteen-runner field.
Around 1856 Bonner became interested in horses and, in particular, the "trotting" form of harness racing. He paid large sums for his horses; one of the most famous was Dexter, a gelding that cost him £35,000. He did not gamble or race for money, but there was a rivalry between Bonner and Commodore Vanderbilt over who had the best horses. Bonner was a philanthropist who preferred not to make his donations public, but he was a known supporter of Princeton University and contributed $131,000 towards the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Bred in Kentucky by Abbott Properties, Hystericalady is the best daughter of the leading sire Distorted Humor, the sire of the dual Classic winning gelding Funny Cide. She is a daughter of 1991 Chilean champion older mare Sacramentada. A dual group I winner in her native country, Sacramentada also won the 1992 Hawthorne Handicap racing in the U.S. After producing six US-bred foals, Sacramentada returned to Chile in 2004. Sacramentada’s grandsire is Northern Dancer, therefore Hystericalady carries the blood of that sire on her top line (sire) and bottom line (dam).
Monet's Garden was an Irish racehorse. Born in April 1998, he was a winner in 17 of his 32 starts, being placed second four times and third on two other occasions, earning £683,265 total prize money and never having failed to finish a race. The grey gelding was bred by William Delahunty, owned by David Wesley Yates and trained by Nicky Richards at his stables in Greystoke, Cumbria. In 23 of his 32 starts he was ridden by stable jockey Tony Dobbin, the partnership ending with Dobbin's retirement in April 2008.
Telescope began his 2015 season in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket on 2 May. Starting the odds-on favourite he went clear of the field in the last quarter mile but was worn down in the closing stages and beaten a head by the four-year-old gelding Second Step. He was dropped in class for the Listed Aston Park Stakes at Newbury two weeks later and won easily by six lengths at odds of 8/13. In June he attempted to repeat his 2014 success in the Hardwicke Stakes.
On November 1, Bayern started at odds of 6.1/1 for the 31st running of the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita Park. His opponents included the undefeated gelding Shared Belief, California Chrome, and Tonalist in a field which appeared dominated by three-year-olds. Exiting the gate, Bayern veered sharply to the left, badly hampering Shared Belief and Moreno before taking the early lead. He was tracked throughout the race by the British-trained Toast of New York with California Chrome close behind and maintained his advantage into the straight.
On 11 March 2015, Dodging Bullets contested the 56th running of the Queen Mother Champion Chase. He started the 9/2 third choice in the betting behind Sprinter Sacre (winner of the race in 2013) and the 2014 winner Sire de Grugy. The other contenders included Somersby, Simply Ned, the thirteen-year-old Irish veteran Sizing Europe, the Game Spirit Chase winner Mr Mole and the Desert Orchid Chase winner Special Tiara. Sam Twiston-Davies positioned the gelding in second as Special Tiara led from the start and opened up a clear advantage.
Of the older horses Mercer rode Boldboy to a Lockinge Stakes victory, that gelding having already carried him to an Abernant Stakes victory. Buoy improved on his first season and as a 4yo blossomed into being a top middle distance colt with Mercer riding him in all his victories. After a second in the Jockey Club Stakes, he won the Yorkshire Cup and three weeks later followed this with the Coronation Cup at Epsom. Dahlia was odds-on to win this race but all 5 jockeys riding had instructions to come with a late run.
Lord Howard had had horses both with Cecil and Murless, but up to this point the best horse Cecil had trained for him had been the gelding Fool's Mate, who was a tough handicapper. Kris took the relationship into another realm, but one could not have foretold this from Kris's early runs. Kris appeared first at Leicester in mid-June and won impressively at 6–1 on his 5furlong maiden debut. Although the press liked his performance, expectations were dampened when stable representative Paddy Rudkin said ‘we have plenty better at home’.
Reverence, a chestnut gelding with a narrow white stripe, was bred by his owners, the husband-and-wife team of Gary and Lesley Middlebrook at their Wood Farm Stud near Windermere in Cumbria. Reverence was sired by Mark of Esteem an "outstanding" miler who won the 2000 Guineas and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 1996. He went on to become a successful stallion, siring the Classic winners Sir Percy (Epsom Derby) and Ameerat (1000 Guineas). Reverence's dam, Imperial Bailiwick was a successful sprinter, winning the Flying Childers Stakes in 1993.
Continent, a chestnut gelding with a narrow white stripe, was bred by his first owner Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farm. He was one of the first crop of foals sired by Lake Coniston, a top class sprinter who won the July Cup in 1995. Apart from Continent, Lake Coniston made little impact as a sire in Europe, and was exported to South Africa where he died in 2014. Continent's dam Krisia, was a daughter of the Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Interval and a half sister to several winners.
Somnus stayed in training for another four seasons, but was never as good again. He ran six times in 2005, without success, although he did finish fourth in the Sprint Cup. Like Continent another Yorkshire-trained gelding who became Champion Sprinter, he became difficult to place in his later career, being no longer quite good enough for the top weight-for-age races, but too highly rated to be competitive in most handicaps. He ran ten times in 2006, winning one minor stakes race at Haydock and finishing second in the Park Stakes at Doncaster.
It was decided to replace Watts with Morny Cannon. Gelding the colt was also a possible solution, but a veterinary examination revealed that the colt had an undescended testicle, making the operation difficult and potentially dangerous. With Cannon as his jockey, Diamond Jubilee showed much improved form to finish second to Epsom Lad in a Prince of Wales's Stakes at Goodwood in late July, but even then his courage was questioned by critics who accused him of showing "the white feather." In autumn, Diamond Jubilee ran three times at Newmarket.
Forbra was a National Hunt racehorse best known for being the winner of the 1932 Grand National steeplechase when relatively unconsidered at 50/1. Prior to his victory in 1932, Forbra beat Golden Miller in a race where 'The Miller' was disqualified for carrying the wrong weight. The gelding had originally been aimed at another race at the meeting, but was switched to the National after winning a race at Taunton Racecourse. He started at odds of 50/1 in a field of thirty-six runners and won by three lengths from Egremont.
Tizamazing's dam, Cee's Song, is credited with raising the respect breeders have for her female breeding line, Thoroughbred family 26, as one of the top distaff lines in America. Five full siblings out of Cee's Song were either race winners or the dams of race winners: Tiznow, Tizbud and Tizdubai are all stakes winners, Oxbow's dam Tizamazing and Paynter's dam Tizso both produced stakes winners. Another offspring of Cee's Song, the gelding Budroyale, was second in the 1999 Breeders' Cup Classic. Oxbow's pedigree is outcrossed for four generations, with very little inbreeding.
A big, long striding chestnut gelding, National Spirit was bred by Mr L. A. Abelson, who owned him throughout his career. His sire, Scottish Union, was a son of Derby and 2000 Guineas winner Cameronian, while his dam Cocktail was a daughter of St Leger winner Coronach. National Spirit was originally called 'Avago', before being renamed and put into training with Epsom based trainer Vic Smyth. He was noted to be somewhat of a character, and loved to 'drop' his riders during exercise by whipping round without warning.
Back in eighth was an Irish trained gelding called Hatton's Grace, who would improve over the next season to win the next three renewals of the Champion Hurdle. National Spirit recorded his most successful Flat campaign in the summer of 1948, winning five times from seven starts. He won the King George VI Stakes at Liverpool for the second time, before also winning the Burstow Handicap and second Croyden Stakes at Lingfield, the Earle Dorling Memorial Handicap over a mile and half at Epsom, and the Melbourne Stakes at Newmarket in September.
Freedman quickly tired of this, and decided to branch out on his own as a horse trainer, initially setting up stables at Warwick Farm in Sydney. Training only a small team of horses, Freedman and stable foreman and brother Anthony found it difficult to train winners at Warwick Farm, where facilities were inferior to those at Sydney's premier track, Randwick. Freedman purchased the stable and home vacated by outstanding trainer Bart Cummings who had moved to Sydney. Freedman soon found success with classy filly Sauna, who was Group One placed and smart gelding Affected.
Silviniaco Conti is a chestnut gelding with a diamond- shaped white star and white socks on his hind legs bred in France by Patrick Joubert. He was sired by Dom Alco (1987-2010) a French Thoroughbred hurdler whose other progeny include Neptune Collonges (Grand National), Al Ferof (Supreme Novices' Hurdle) and Grand Crus (Feltham Novices' Chase). His dam Gazelle Lulu was a Selle Français mare who has also produced the successful French jumpers Ucello Conti and Toscana Conti. Silviniaco Conti was originally sent into training with Guillaume Macaire in France.
Battaash is a bay gelding bred in Ireland by the County Limerick-based Ballyphilip Stud. In October 2015 the yearling colt was put up for auction at Tattersalls and was bought for 200,000 guineas by Hamdan Al Maktoum's Shadwell Estate Company. Battaash was sent into training with Charles "Charlie" Hills at Lambourn in Berkshire. His sire Dark Angel won four races including the Mill Reef Stakes and the Middle Park Stakes as a two-year-old in 2007 before being retired to stud at the end of the year.
Portrait of F. Ambrose Clark (1904) by Robert Henri, Metropolitan Museum of Art. The most famous horse under Brose was a gelding he sold to his wife Florence for $5.00 (one pound) at the time just prior to the 1933 English Grand National was Kellsboro Jack (Ireland). Trained by Ivor Anthony, the American-bred horse would become, at the time, just the 3rd American owned horse to win the grueling English steeplechase race at Aintree Racecourse. In the same race, Ambrose had entered Chadd's Ford who finished next to last.
Even though they were not certain the gelding would make it in time to race in the Breeders Crown at Meadowlands, Victory Tilly's connections paid the US$80,000 required to enter the event. If eliminations had been required a week before the final to decrease the number of contestants, the money would have been of no use. Fortunately for the owners, few enough trotters entered the race, and Victory Tilly could compete in the final. From the eighth post position, Stig H. Johansson guided Victory Tilly to the front.
He raced prominently, and had every chance in the straight but was beaten a head by Strategic Choice. He then attempted to win a second French Group One in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp and as in the previous year's Prix Royal-Oak he disputed the finish with Always Earnest. On this occasion however, it was the French-trained gelding who prevailed by a short head. The race also helped to give Moonax a reputation for unpredictable behaviour: he turned his head and attempted to bite Always Earnest in the closing stages.
Celeric, a bay gelding with a white stripe was bred by the Chievely Manor Stud, a tiny operation based in the "back garden" of his owner Christopher Spence. His sire Mtoto was an outstanding middle- distance horse winning the Eclipse Stakes twice and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. At stud Mtoto sired the winners of more than five hundred races including The Derby winner Shaamit and the leading National Hunt sire Presenting. He was notable as an influence for stamina, with the average winning distance of his progeny being 11.5 furlongs.
On his final appearance of 2014, Liam's Map was matched against older horses in the Harlan's Holiday Stakes over eight and a half furlongs at Gulfstream Park on December 13 and started favorite ahead of Pants On Fire, a six-year-old who had won four Graded stakes races and finished third to Goldencents in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. The colt took the lead exiting the backstretch and got the better of a sustained struggle with the four-year-old gelding Valid to win by half a length.
On his debut as a twelve-year-old the gelding was sent to Musselburgh for a race named in his honour, the Borderlescott Sprint Trophy. He took the lead inside the final furlong but was caught in the last stride and beaten a short head by the four-year-old Smoothtalkinrascal. He finished unplaced in his next six races (including a final bid for the Stewards' Cup) before ending the year with a second place at Musselburgh in October. In 2015 Borderlecott was trained by Robin Bastiman's daughter Rebecca.
Retired to stud at Coolmore Ireland, he was eventually sent to Italy for stud duty at Allevamenti della Berardenga, and was the leading sire in Italy on two occasions. His most successful offspring has been the gelding Collier Hill, a multiple winner of major international stakes whose victories include the 2004 and 2006 Stockholm Cup International, the 2005 Gerling-Preis and Irish St. Leger Stakes, and the 2006 Canadian International Stakes and Hong Kong Vase. He was also the sire of the Prix de l'Opéra winner Kinnaird. Dr Devious died in Sardinia in March 2018.
Prince Regent was a large bay gelding, standing 17 hands high in maturity, bred in Ireland by A H Mawell. He was sired by My Prince a high- class performer on the flat who became a very successful sire of National Hunt horses. His other offspring included the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Easter Hero and the Grand National winners Reynoldstown, Gregalach and Royal Mail. Prince Regent's dam, Nemaea, was a full-sister to Diomedes, an outstanding sprinter who won the Nunthorpe Stakes, King's Stand Stakes and two July Cups.
Buskin, described as "a good- looking little bay gelding" won the $2,500 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday, May 20, 1913. He went off as the heavy favorite at 3-2 in the field of eight three-year-olds after five of the thirteen colts scratched. Buskin broke first but fell back to fourth under a heavy hold by jockey Jimmy Butwell as they hit Pimlico's famous "Clubhouse Turn." The pace was slow early with the first quarter in :24 flat and the half in :48-4/5.
Win Approval previously produced Breeders' Cup Mile winner Miesque's Approval and multiple stakes winners Za Approval and Revved Up. World Approval was originally trained by Christophe Clement, but after two unsuccessful starts was transferred to the barn of Mark Casse. Casse has won numerous Sovereign Awards as the outstanding trainer in Canada. World Approval is an attractive gray gelding, known around the backstretch for his difficult temperament. "He lures you in a little bit with his beauty and then it's like he strikes at any time", said Casse.
Mont Tremblant began his racing career in France where he won on the flat and over hurdles before being bought by Dorothy Paget and imported to England. The gelding was sent into training with Fulke Walwyn at his Saxon House stable in Lambourn, Berkshire. In the 1951/52 National Hunt season Mont Tremblant was matched against more experienced competition. Walwyn had problems getting the horse to peak fitness as the gallops at Lambourn were frozen, and was greatly aided when his rival trainer Bill Wightman allowed him to use his training facilities at Upham, Hampshire.
Les Arcs (24 April 2000) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse who was bred in the United States and trained in the United Kingdom. After racing with mixed results over a variety of distances (and an attempt at hurdling), the gelding emerged as a top-class performer when switched to sprint distances. In 2006 he won six races including the Golden Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup, both Group One races and was the highest-rated European sprinter of the year. He was also named Horse of the Year by the Maryland Horse Breeders Association.
Casual Conquest returned to Group 1 class for the Irish Champion Stakes in September. He started a 16/1 outsider and never looked likely to win, coming home seventh of the nine runners behind Sea the Stars and sustaining a leg injury in the process. Any prospects of Casual Conquest embarking on a career as a breeding stallion ended in December 2009 when he underwent a gelding operation. It was hoped that he would resume his track career, possibly under National Hunt rules, but he never raced again.
Jemma Field, Anna of Denmark: The Material and Visual Culture of the Stuart Courts (Manchester, 2020), p. 97. In July 1615 she was bought a bay ambling gelding horse to replace her lame grey horse.Frederick Madden, Issues of the Exchequer (London, 1836), p. 319. After Vincent Skinner's death , her mother Elizabeth Foukes seems also to have joined the queen's household. On 29 April 1617 Middlemore was granted a licence by the king to have workmen seek treasure in Glastonbury Abbey, St Albans Abbey, Bury St Edmunds Abbey, and Romsey Abbey.
The gelding showed little worthwhile form in his three remaining races: he was pulled up before the last in the Grade I Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase on 6 February and was well beaten when unplaced in both the Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase at Naas and the Grade I Swordlestown Cup Novice Chase at Punchestown in April. Before the last of these race he was transferred to the stable of John Joseph Murphy at Upton, County Cork: his owners' refused to comment on the reason for the switch.
Vintage Crop was a chestnut gelding with a white star and three white socks bred in the United Kingdom by Bertram and Diana Firestone. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Rousillon an American stallion who raced in Europe, winning the Queen Anne Stakes, Sussex Stakes and Prix du Moulin in 1985.

His dam Spartan Girl won one minor race and came from a very well-regarded family, being a half-sister of Conduit and a close relative of Petrushka, Spectrum and Millenary.
Replanting at the Marl Bog, Dundrum Tipperary after Storm Darwin A Connemara gelding called 'Dundrum' ridden by Tommy Wade was a notable champion showjumper. Local farmer Jack Ryan {Lar} of Gurtussa owned the horse when its talent was recognised. He passed through several owners until coming to the stables of Tommy Wade of Goold's Cross and from there it went on to star in places like the RDS. Though small in stature in keeping with its Connemara pedigree, Dundrum excelled in the puissance wall event in Ireland and Britain.
Two weeks later he was assigned top weight of 132 pounds for the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot. He made steady progress in the straight without looking likely to win and came home fourth behind the Mark Johnston Baghdad. Over the same course and distance in July, the gelding started 13/8 favourite against six opponents for a handicap race in which he was partnered by Kirby. After being restrained at the rear of the field he moved forward to take the lead approaching the final furlong and won by two lengths.

Ali Carmichael - Director of Riding at Chestnut Hill, she has a horse ranch in Kentucky that she left for Chestnut Hill.
Ann Beeton Blinkhorn's uncle died and left her an inheritance, but William Cheney, presumably the executor of the will, withheld payment. He agreed to pay Thomas £89 upon Thomas' marriage to Ann but failed to do so. As compensation, on the night of May 13, 1836, or early the next morning, Thomas Blinkhorn stole a gelding from William Cheney's Lutton farmyard.

Ridden by Manuel Ycaza, the gelding came from well off the pace to catch Mr. Brick in the closing strides and win by a head. After the race, Ycaza described the winner as "an awful willing little horse". In the Flamingo Stakes on March 3, Roman Brother was matched against Northern Dancer, another unusually small thoroughbred, in what was described in the press as a meeting of the "Mighty Mites". Northern Dancer won, with Roman Brother fifth in a dead-heat with Dandy K, beaten more than fifteen lengths by the winner.

Starting at odds of 1/2 in a field of eighteen mares, she took the lead three hurdles from the finish and won easily by thirteen lengths.
After the race Freddie Mead said "Technician is a good horse but last time in the St Leger, the ground was too firm. Today, the ground made the difference. On a soft track, he was more relaxed and displayed his great acceleration." Three weeks Boudot took the ride again when the colt returned to Longchamp for the Group 1 Prix Royal Oak over 3100 metres on heavy ground and started the 2.4/1 second favourite behind the five-year-old gelding Call The Wind (2018 Prix du Cadran).

Pepper tries and fails numerous times to ride out Blue's bucks and rears, but eventually Wyatt decides that gentling him makes more sense. He works with the gelding in the same way that Jake did with Star Shower, following him when he walks away and stopping when he stops. After a time, Blue begins to trust Wyatt and accepts him as a rider. Although he isn't as dependable as some of the other horses on the ranch, Wyatt trusts him to learn the work of a cow horse.

Sex-segregating herds may make for less infighting, especially if kept in close quarters. However, studies also have shown that when a "lead mare" or "boss mare" is in charge of a herd, all remaining animals rest for longer periods and seem more at ease than do those in herds led by a gelding. In wild herds, a "boss mare" or "lead mare" leads the band to grazing, to water, and away from danger. She eats and drinks first, decides when the herd will move and to where.
Royal Rebel missed the whole of the 2003 season with tendon injuries before returning as an eight-year-old in 2004.

Boldboy announced his arrival on the racing scene by winning the Greenham Stakes as a maiden gelding and the Astor colt, Sharp Edge, who had won three races when ridden by Mercer as a 2yo in 1972, won him his first Irish 2000 Guineas after finishing third in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Sharp Edge then went on to win the Prix Jean Prat in France.
Hurricane Fly began his next season in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on 17 November. Starting the 1/16 favourite he created a new world record by recording his 17th Grade I success, but was not particularly impressive in beating Marito by one and a quarter lengths. Both Mullins and Walsh stated that the gelding would improve significantly for the race. On 29 December, in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown, Hurricane Fly took on two of the best young hurdlers in Ireland: Our Conor the winner of the 2013 Triumph Hurdle and Jezki, the winner of the 2013 Hatton's Grace Hurdle.
Pebbles, in addition to her success as a racer, was known for her assorted unique quirks. She was frequently accompanied by a gelding named Come On The Blues (the winner of the Royal Hunt Cup) who exerted a calming influence on the highly strung filly and escorted her to America for the second running of the Breeders' Cup. Brittain described Pebbles as an extremely difficult horse to manage and one who could not be trained in the conventional way, noting that she spent more time swimming than galloping. She also was known for consuming a pint of Guinness a day.

In late 1881, the 3rd Baron Manners bet a large sum of money that he could buy, train and ride the winner of the 1882 Grand National. With just four months in which to prepare, he managed to procure Seaman, a six-year-old gelding, for £1,900. The vendor, an Irishman called Henry Linde, expressed his concerns over the sickly Seaman and didn't believe the horse was capable of such a feat, even if there had been sufficient time in which to train him. It was widely held that Manners lacked the riding ability and experience necessary to win such a tough race.
Charter Party was a dark bay gelding with no white markings bred in Ireland by Avia Riddell Martin, who once described him as "the biggest, ugliest camel you have ever seen". He was the only racehorse of any consequence sired by Document, a half-brother of the St James's Palace Stakes winner Above Suspicion and the Ormonde Stakes winner Doutelle.

Davy Russell sent the French gelding into a narrow lead three fences from the finish and Sir Des Champs stayed on strongly in the straight to beat Flemenstar by one and three quarter lengths. In the Cheltenham Gold Cup on 15 March he tracked the leader Long Run until challenging for the lead entering the straight. He was overtaken by Bobs Worth approaching the second last fence and despite rallying on the run-in was beaten seven lengths by the favourite.
Firdaussi began his track career in July when he won the Fulbourne Stakes over five furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse in July. At Doncaster Racecourse he finished third in a Rous Memorial Plate and then returned to winning form to take the Autumn Foal Plate at Newbury in very impressive style. In the seven furlong Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket in October he started the 11/10 favourite and won from Short Hand. The colt ended his first season at Hurst Park where he ran second to the gelding Old Riley in the £1,550 Great Two-Year-Old Stakes over six furlongs.

Zarkandar had his final trial for the 2013 Champion Hurdle in the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton on 13 February. Starting at odds of 1/3 he took the lead after the second last hurdle and won by four and a half lengths from Khyber Kim. The BBC's correspondent described the performance as "dominant" while Nicholls called it a "proper job" and emphasised his view that the gelding would be well-suited to Cheltenham's testing, uphill finish.
Later that month he was sent back to England to contest the Prince of Wales's Stakes (then a Group Two race open to horses of three years and above) over ten furlongs at Royal Ascot. Starting at odds of 6/1 he was restrained by Philipperon at the rear of the field before making rapid progress in the straight.

On 14 July the gelding started 1.7/1 favourite for the Prix Maurice de Nieuil over 2500 metres at Saint-Cloud.
On a gloomy, overcast day which saw the race run in near darkness the gelding started the 15/8 favourite in a field of ten runner which included Champagne Fever, Al Ferof, Cue Card, Menorah and Dynaste. Silviniaco Conti set the pace from Champagne Fever and jumped well throughout the race. Fehily gradually increased the pace before sending the favourite for home exiting the final turn. Silviniaco Conti increased his advantage in the straight and won by four and a half lengths from Dynaste, with Al Ferof finishing well to deprive Champagne Fever of third place in the final strides.
Shortly after the race he was gelded. Battaash recovered from his operation and returned to the track on 9 September in a minor race at Doncaster in which he led for most of the way before hanging to the right in the closing stages and finishing third behind Lost At Sea and Dream of Dreams. Two week later, under top weight of 133 pounds, he ran third in nursery handicap at Haydock Park. On his final appearance of the season, the gelding was stepped up to Group 3 class for the Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket on 7 October.
At Aintree the gelding was assigned a weight of 153 pounds, and started the 10/1 second favourite behind Spartan Missile, a dual winner of the Fox Hunters' Chase. Aldaniti took the lead at the eleventh fence and maintained his advantage for the rest of the race, fighting off a late challenge from Spartan Missile on the run-in to win by four lengths. The next day, more than 3,000 people turned out to welcome the horse back to his stable at Findon. Aldaniti also ran in the 1982 Grand National with Bob Champion, but fell at the first fence.
Classic Cliche took over the lead in the straight as Eddery moved Celeric up to challenge. Celeric caught Classic Cliche well inside the last furlong and ran on under pressure to win by three quarters of a length. Eddery was singled out for praise in timing Celeric's challenge to perfection: the gelding disliked being in front and had to be produced as late as possible. Celeric was dropped down to a mile and a half to finish fifth in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket, but then disappointed when favourite for the Lonsdale Stakes, finishing fourth to Double Eclipse.
His most notable accomplishments include winning 4 Olympic Golds (his first at age 25) and numerous European and World Championship medals.

After tracking the leaders for most of the way, Borderlescott produced a decisive burst of acceleration to take the lead inside the final furlong and won by half a length and a head from Group Therapy and Astrophysical Jet. In August, the gelding attempted to equal the achievement of Tag End and Sharpo by winning a third consecutive Nunthorpe Stakes. Ridden by Callan, he started at odds of 11/1 and finished sixth of the twelve runners behind Sole Power. In the Haydock Sprint Cup two weeks later he chased the leaders before weakening in the closing stages and finishing eighth behind Markab.
A bucking horse at pasture during the off season The bucking horse is usually a gelding, a castrated male horse. Because bucking horses usually travel in close quarters and are housed in a herd setting, geldings are generally less disruptive and more prone to get along with one another. However, mares are also used, and while a mixed herd of mares and geldings is a bit more prone to disruptions, they can be kept together without great difficulties. Stallions are less common, because they can be disruptive in a herd and may fight if there are mares present.
Maxime Guyon took over from Peslier as Solow's regular jockey in 2015. The gelding began his campaign in the Prix Montjeu on the synthetic Polytrack surface at Chantilly on 3 March. Starting the 7/10 favourite, he took the lead approaching the final 200 metres, drew clear of the field, and won by four lengths while eased down in the closing stages.

Solow ran again in England in July for the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse. The race was expected to feature a clash between the French gelding and the leading three- year-old miler Gleneagles, but the Irish colt was withdrawn because of the prevailing soft ground. Solow started the 2/5 favourite ahead of Night of Thunder, four-year-old Arod (winner of the Diomed Stakes and Summer Mile Stakes), and three-year-old Belardo. After tracking the leader, Arod, most of the way, Solow took the lead a furlong out and won by half a length.

However Ginny, being lightweight and small, had a hard time controlling the gelding, who was an incredible puller on cross- country. She had a few bad falls while competing, and her mother and trainer began to worry that she would be seriously hurt. Ian Stark tried Murphy out in 1988, and he agreed to exchange horses with Leng, Murphy for his horse Griffin. The duo had a terrific success together, completing Badminton several times, receiving the silver medal at the 1990 FEI World Equestrian Games in Stockholm representing the British Team, and competing in the Barcelona Olympics.
The gelding remained unbeaten for the rest of the 2009 season, although his campaign was restricted to minor handicaps over extended distances: he won at Yarmouth in August, Ffos Las in September and Wolverhmpton in October.

After an absence of well over 3 months, Lassalle ran in the 1973 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on 7 October. Racing over an inadequate distance of 2400 m, he started a 99/1 outsider, but ran well to finish ninth of the 27 runners behind Rheingold. Three weeks after his run in the Arc, Lassalle returned to Longchamp for Europe's longest major flat race, the 4800-m (3-mi) Prix Gladiateur. He was made the 1.7/1 favourite ahead of Parnell, with the best of the other five runners appearing to be the six-year- old gelding Forceful.
When team uniforms were redesigned in 1997, Thunder was the inspiration to incorporate a horse-head profile as part of the logo on the team's helmets. During a February 4, 1997 press conference introducing the new logo, the team president and the art director for Nike, creators of the new design, described it as "a powerful horse with a fiery eye and mane." The original Thunder, also known as Thunder Sr., was retired in 2004 after serving 11 years as the team mascot. Magness-Blake replaced him with Thunder II, a 1994 Arabian gelding registered as Winter Solstyce.
Trabolgan began to compete in steeplechases in the following season, starting in a novices' event at Lingfield Park on 24 November. Fitzgerald moved the gelding up to dispute the lead three fences from the finish and Trabolgan drew clear of his opponents in the closing stages to win by two and a half lengths from Kadount. Trabolgan was then moved up in class and distance for the Grade I Feltham Novices' Chase over three miles at Kempton on Boxing Day. Over the last two fences, the nine-runner race developed into a struggle between Trabolgan and the 13/8 favourite Ollie Magern.
Parole, a gelding, was owned by Pierre Lorillard IV, George's brother. Parole, with jockey William Barrett up, prevailed with a late run, crossing the finish line three lengths ahead of Ten Broeck and six ahead of Tom Ochiltree, which had helped to set the early pace with legendary jockey George Barbee in the irons. An estimated 20,000 people crowded into Pimlico to witness the event. The Great Race is depicted in a four-ton stone bas-relief — copied from a Currier & Ives print and sculpted in stone by Bernard Zuckerman — hanging over the clubhouse entrance at Pimlico.
" Evening Attire finished third in the 2007 Stuyvesant Handicap after hesitating at the start, a trait his trainer said the 10-year-old gelding developed in 2007. Evening Attire was entered in the 2007 Queens County Handicap at Aqueduct (a race he won in 2001) and took it by a head under veteran jockey Edgar Prado. He became the oldest horse ever to win the Queens County, which has been run since 1902. After the race (in which he defeated Hunting, who had won the 2007 Stuyvesant), Prado said: "He knows his way around the track.
He appeared to lose his form as a five- year-old and was sold cheaply at auction at the end of the season. After entering the stable of David Nicholls in 1997 he improved into a top class performer, winning the Epsom Dash and the Sprint Stakes before recording his biggest success when dead-heating for the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes. His victory in the Nunthorpe made Alex Greaves the first woman to ride a Group One winner in Europe. The gelding failed to win at seven and died the following spring after complications arising from colic surgery.
For the 1997 season, Ya Malak was trained by Nicholls in Yorkshire and ridden all his races by Alex Greaves, Britain's leading female jockey and Nicholls' wife. Nicholls rode the horse in some of his training gallops and described the horse as the fastest he had ever ridden. On his first appearance for his new connections, the gelding finished fifth of six behind Bolshoi in the East Riding Stakes at Beverley in April, tiring in the closing stages after leading a furlong out. On 20 May at the same track he recorded his first win for almost two years in the Angel Stakes.
Rule Supreme returned in March to finish second in novice events at Punchestown and Fairyhouse: in the latter event he was beaten five lengths by the subsequent Grade I winner Davenport Milenium. The gelding returned to Fairyhouse on 17 April for a two and a half mile novice hurdle and started 4/6 favourite against nine opponents. Ridden again by Swan, he led for most of the way and held off the challenge of Four Aces to win by a length. He ended his season ten days later by finishing fourth over three miles at Punchestown.
Able Friend ( foaled 19 September 2009) is an Australian-bred, Hong Kong- trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After showing some promise when winning one of his two races in his native country, the gelding was transferred to race in Hong Kong in 2013. In the 2013/2014 season he established himself as one of the best milers in Hong Kong with four wins including the Hong Kong Classic Mile and the Chairman's Trophy from seven races. In the following season his wins in the Jockey Club Mile (2014) and Hong Kong Mile saw him rated among the best racehorses in the world.
Able Friend was dropped back to sprint distances for his seasonal debut as his preparation race, at which he finished fourth to Aerovelocity when carrying 133 pounds in the 1200 metre handicap on 26 October. The gelding prepared for the Hong Kong Mile with a run in the Jockey Club Mile on 23 November. He started the odds-on favourite and won by two and a quarter lengths from Gold-Fun with Ambitious Dragon in third. The Hong Kong Jockey Club's report on the race likened Able Friend's dismissal of his opponents as resembling "a lion swatting flies".
The colt was dropped to Group Three class over ten furlongs at Ayr Racecourse in July and finished fourth behind Beneficial. In August he was back in Ireland and started favourite for the Desmond Stakes but ran poorly and beat only one of his nine opponents in a race won by Bin Ajwaad. Richard Hills resumed his partnership with Maroof in the Park Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse on 8 September. He led for most of the way before being caught in the final strides and beaten a neck by the four-year-old gelding Soviet Line.
After racing in sixth place, Phoenix Reach moved forward in the straight and took the lead a furlong and a half out but was caught in the closing stages and beaten three quarters of a length by the Australian gelding Mummify. In July, Phoenix Reach returned to Europe for his second attempt at the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes run that year at Newbury. His preparation for the race had been interrupted by treatment for an impacted colon, which, according to Balding "knocked the stuffing out of him". He made no impression, finishing tenth of the eleven runners behind Azamour.
Oscar Whisky began his racing career in a National Hunt Flat race over one and a half miles at Newbury Racecourse on 21 March 2009. He started favourite in a field of sixteen four- year-olds and won "very easily" by nine lengths. After an eight-month break, the gelding returned in a two-mile National Hunt Flat race at Newbury in November. Starting the 8/15 favourite, he took the lead two furlongs from the finish and won by four lengths from Midnight Prayer, with the future Champion Hurdle winner Rock On Ruby in fourth place.
He then finished eighth in the Whitney Handicap and sixth in the Woodward Stakes at Saratoga Race Course but returned to winning form in September when he captured the Massachusetts Handicap. He then finished eighth in the 2007 Fayette Stakes and second Clark Handicap. Returning to the track in 2008, the then seven-year-old gelding brought in a strong performance in the grade 1 Donn Handicap, a race that he had won two years before, finishing fourth. Then he headed to Fairgrounds, to race in the New Orleans Handicap, where he once again finished fourth.
On 16 June, Royal Gait was sent to contest Britain's most prestigious stayers race, the Gold Cup over two and a half miles at Royal Ascot. Cash Asmussen took over the ride from Gibert, and the gelding started the 15/2 fourth choice in the betting behind Sadeem, Primitive Rising and Sergeyevich. He was not among the early leaders but moved up to fourth place on the turn into the straight. At this point, El Conquistador, who had been acting as a pacemaker for Sadeem, dropped back sharply and collided with Royal Gait who was moving up on the rail.
The event was inaugurated on 3 May 1986 on Kentucky Derby Day as the Louisville Budweiser Breeders' Cup Handicap at a distance of miles for three-year-olds and older and was won by the favorite, five-year-old gelding Hopeful Word in small field of four starters. The following year the event's conditions were changed to fillies & mares that were four years old or older. The event with Budweiser and Breeders' Cup sponsorship and added incentives to base purses attracted good quality runners. The event was classified as a Grade III in 1988 and it was upgraded once more in 1990.
Before the race, Red Rum was generally thought too old — at the age of 12 — to win the Grand National for a third time, having come home first in 1973 and 1974, and second in 1975 and 1976. However, being ridden by jockey Tommy Stack for the second consecutive National, the gelding clinched his unprecedented third title, bringing his career earnings to a then steeplechasing record of £114,000. Red Rum's 1976/77 season had begun badly. After an initial small win at Carlisle he appeared lacklustre in his next four races, and trainer Ginger McCain lost confidence in him.
Saintly (21 September 1992 – 16 December 2016) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who was named Australia's champion racehorse in 1997. A giant chestnut gelding by Sky Chase out of All Grace (by Sir Tristram), he was bred by his trainer, Bart Cummings, who owned him in partnership with a Malaysian businessman, Dato Tan Chin Nam. In 2017 Saintly was inducted to the Australian Racing Hall of Fame. Saintly gained the moniker 'The horse from heaven' due to his name and his partnership with jockey Darren Beadman, who at the time was a proclaimed born-again Christian.

Because Lee is employed by Wolcott, who is in turn employed by George Hearst, Swearengen refuses any help until after negotiations over the town's future have been resolved. Mr. Wu escapes Swearengen's house arrest at The Gem, but Johnny Burns stops him from exacting his revenge on Lee or being killed himself. William Bullock is trampled by a horse that escapes during a failed gelding and dies several hours after. His funeral is attended by many of Deadwood's citizens and the service is conducted by former card sharp Andy Cramed, who has returned to Deadwood an ordained minister.
However, the race was run in a downpour, and unlike Blue Larkspur, Clyde Van Dusen was wearing mud caulks on the sloppy track. As a result, he was never seriously threatened and won by 2 lengths, although his time of 2:10 4/5 was one of the slowest winning times in Derby history. After the race, Blue Larkspur's owner, Colonel Edward R. Bradley, called Clyde Van Dusen "the worst horse to win the Derby in twenty years." Clyde Van Dusen was the seventh gelding to win the Kentucky Derby in the race's first 55 runnings.
Shared Belief began his third season in the San Antonio Stakes over nine furlongs at Santa Anita on February 7, which featured a much-anticipated clash with California Chrome. Smith positioned the gelding in third place before moving up to second on the outside when California Chrome took the lead on the turn. In the straight, Shared Belief moved up to join California Chrome, took the advantage a furlong out, and drew away in the final strides to win by a length and a half. There was a gap of six and half lengths back to Clark Handicap winner Hoppertunity in third place.
African Story is a chestnut gelding with a narrow white blaze bred in the United Kingdom by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. His sire Pivotal was a top class sprinter who won the King's Stand Stakes and the Nunthorpe Stakes in 1996. He went on to become an "excellent" sire, getting the winners of more than a thousand races across a range of distances including Farhh, Sariska, Somnus, Kyllachy and Excellent Art. African Story's dam, Blixen, won one minor race at the Curragh Racecourse in 2000, and was a great-granddaughter of the broodmare Mesopatamia, making her a distant relative of Halling and Mastery.
Sole Power returned to Meydan in early 2013 where he finished second to the South African sprinter Shea Shea in the Meydan Sprint and fourth to the same horse in the Al Quoz Sprint. On his return to Europe the gelding ran for the third time in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket. Ridden by Murtagh, he was restrained in the early stages before taking the lead inside the final furlong to win by a length from Kingsgate Native, with Tangerine Trees in third. It was the horse's first win at Group level for almost two years.
He was beaten in four subsequent starts but showed good form when finishing second in both the Grade I Royal Bond Novice Hurdle and the Grade II Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle. The gelding continued to compete over hurdles in the 2011/2012 season recording his only success in six attempts when winning a handicap race at Thurles Racecourse in October. In the following season, Pineau de Re was moved up to compete in steeplechases. He made little initial impact, being well beaten in his first four attempts over the larger obstacles before winning a minor event at Thurles on 3 January 2013.
Pineau de Re returned in October 2015 and finished unplaced in a veteran's chase at Chepstow and then ran second to Vino Grigio at Sandown in November. The gelding fell at the second in the Becher Chase and then started at odds of 7/1 in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle on 13 December. Ridden by Richard Johnson he took the led at the second last and won by four lengths under a weight of 162 pounds. His victory was notable as no Grand National winner had gone on to win another race since Bindaree won the Welsh National in 2003.
Geldings are often preferred over mares, because some mares become temperamental when in heat. Also, the use of mares may be limited during the later months of pregnancy and while caring for a young foal. In horse racing, castrating a stallion may be considered worthwhile if the animal is easily distracted by other horses, difficult to handle, or otherwise not running to his full potential due to behavioral issues. While this means the horse loses any breeding value, a successful track career can often be a boost to the value of the stallion that sired the gelding.
Presvis (10 March 2004 - 17 October 2012) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. Although he did not race until the age of four and never won a major race in his native country he was one of the most financially successful British-trained horses of all-time, winning well over £4 million in prize money. He was trained throughout his career by Luca Cumani and ridden in most of his major races by Ryan Moore. The gelding was suited by extreme "hold-up" tactics and was usually restrained at the rear of the field before being produced for a late run in the straight.
Limestone Lad is a bay gelding with no white markings, bred and owned by James Bowe of Gathabawn, near Johnstown, County Kilkenny. He was the most successful horse sired by Aristocracy, who won at least five races in Ireland between 1976 and 1978 including the Whitehall Stakes. Limestone Lad's dam, Limestone Miss, was an unraced mare who also produced Miss Lime, a winner of three races, including a fifteen length defeat of Dorans Pride at Thurles. Limestone Miss was a daughter of Miss Kiln, who was in turn a daughter of Kinneagh, a mare bought by James Bowe for about 100 guineas.
On his final appearance in a bumper, the gelding led from the start to win an eleven-runner contest at Naas, beating the mare Our Meg by two and a half lengths. Limestone Lad was then switched to hurdles and ran six more times before the end of the season. On his debut over obstacles he finished fifth at Navan, and then finished second at Limerick and at Clonmel Racecourse before running fifth at Cork in April. Later that month, he started at odds of 9/2 for a novice hurdle over two and a half miles on heavy ground at Clonmel.
In most of his races as a four-year-old, Equiano was ridden by his trainer's son Michael Hills. He produced his best performance on his seasonal debut when he started favourite for the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse in April and finished second, beaten half a length by the seven- year-old gelding Tax Free. Equiano failed to win or place in his remaining eight races in 2009. He finished well beaten in the Duke of York Stakes, Prix du Gros Chêne, King's Stand Stakes, July Cup, King George Stakes, Nunthorpe Stakes, Haydock Sprint Cup and Prix de l'Abbaye.
Twilight Son is a bay horse with white star and white coronet markings on his hind feet bred in England by Caroline Wilson and owned during his racing career by her husband Godfrey Wilson. Twilight Son was sent into training with the veteran Henry Candy at Kingston Warren in Oxfordshire where he was soon joined by a gelding named Limato. He was sired by Kyllachy, a top-class sprinter who won the Nunthorpe Stakes in 2002. At stud Kyllachy has sired many successful horses including Sole Power, the Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Krypton Factor and the Chairman's Sprint Prize winner Dim Sum.
Williams syndicated the gelding with music promoter Michael Gudinski, Sydney businessman and thoroughbred owner John Ingham, Quiksilver founder Alan Green, Rip Curl co-founder Brian Singer and construction industry figures Vin Sammartino and Phil Mehrten. In his first Australian run, over 1600 metres in June 2016, Almandin finished sixth; he then recorded two further unplaced finishes. On 24 September 2016, he won the Listed Harry White Classic over 2400 metres at Caulfield Racecourse beating his stablemate Assign by two lengths. Eight days later, he was moved up in class and distance for the Group 3 Bart Cummings over 2500 metres at Flemington.
Sheehan sent the gelding into the lead from the start and was never headed. He opened up a clear advantage approaching the final flight and won by three and a quarter lengths from Saphir de Rheu, who was in turn three and a quarter lengths clear of Zarkandar. After the race an emotional Greatrex commented "I’m small, I’m a youngster at this. I’ve got nine runners here, we’re breaking through — we’re trying to compete with the big guys and hopefully this will help. We’ve beaten the best. You look at the next two horses behind and they’re trained by Paul Nicholls ... unbelievable".
Fairy King Prawn is a bay gelding bred in Australia by Catherine Redmond. His sire Danehill (who died in 2003) was a highly successful breeding stallion, producing the winners of more than a thousand races, including one hundred and fifty-six at Group One/Grade I level. Among his best offspring are Duke of Marmalade, Dylan Thomas, Rock of Gibraltar, George Washington and North Light. Fairy King Prawn's dam Twiglet was a high-class Australian racehorse who won the Edward Manifold Stakes in 1990 and went on to be a successful broodmare, also producing the Salinger Stakes winner Easy Rocking.
In January Fairy King Prawn started favourite for the Bauhinia Sprint Trophy over 1000 metres but was beaten one and a quarter lengths by the 33/1 outsider Holy Grail. The gelding finished runner-up again in his next two races, finishing second to Best of the Best in the Centenary Sprint Cup in March. He was then transferred to the stable of Ivan Allan, with Robbie Fradd taking over from Steven King as his jockey. On his first appearance for his new stable he was beaten a neck by Tajasur when attempting to repeat his 1999 success in the Chairman's Prize.
Princeful began his racing career as a five-year-old in a National Hunt Flat race at Worcester Racecourse on 22 May 1996. He started the 9/2 joint-favourite and won by twelve lengths from the mare Quick Bowler. After a break of more than seven months he returned for a similar event at Towcester Racecourse and led for most of the way before winning by two and a half lengths from Billingsgate. In January 1997, the gelding was switched to compete in novice hurdle races, making his debut over obstacles when finishing fifth behind Red Blazer at Leicester.
The 1977 U.S. Triple Crown champion jockey Jean Cruguet was aboard Mac Diarmida when he won the 1978 running of the Lexington defeating the now legendary Hall of Fame gelding John Henry. Jockey Ángel Cordero Jr. won this race in 1977, 1988, and 1991. In1994 the U. S. Racing Hall of Fame jockey was retired from riding and got his fourth win overall with his first as a trainer when Holy Mountain won the Lexington Stakes. On July 8, 2007 future Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez rode Distorted Reality to victory in the final edition of the Lexington.
Instead of his usual front-running tactics, jockey Ramon Dominguez rated the gelding off the pace, moved to the lead entering the stretch, and then withstood a stretch drive from the favorite Point of Entry. Romans said, "He's an overachiever and he's proven us all wrong. I don't think anybody up here thought he could be more than a miler last year and now we don't know where his limit is." Little Mike's time was an exceptional 2:22.83, the fastest Breeders' Cup Turf ever and almost equal with the Santa Anita track record of 2:22 .
