FAMOUS HORSES
Brigadier Gerard 1968Brigadier Gerard was foaled in the same year as Mill Reef and My Swallow, the three of them meeting in the finest field ever for the 2000 Guineas. Brigadier Gerard did not just win, he went past his rivals as if they were standing still, to win by three lengths. Mill Reef was never beaten again. The Brigadier, after fifteen straight wins, was beaten by the enigmatic Roberto. It was the ‘Horse of the Century’s’ only defeat.
He was a triumph for his owner breeders the Hislops who bred the horse along unfashionable lines - but sadly he disappointed at stud and none of his offspring ever came near to matching his ability.
