Background

edit

Lomond was a bay horse bred in Kentucky by the partnership of Warner L. Jones, William S. Farish III and William S. Kilroy. He was sold as a foal in a private transaction for US$1.5 million to British racing's leading owner, Robert Sangster. Sangster had built a highly successful stable from Lomond's sire Northern Dancer, the most successful sire of the 20th century whom the National Thoroughbred Racing Association calls "one of the most influential sires in Thoroughbred history".

Lomond's dam was My Charmer, a granddaughter of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Round Table. My Charmer was an outstanding broodmare who produced Lomond's half-brother Seattle Slew, the 1977 U.S. Triple Crown champion, and Seattle Dancer.

Racing career

edit

Lomond made only seven lifetime starts, winning the 1983 Gladness Stakes at the Curragh Racecourse in Ireland and the Classic 2000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket.[2]
