Pretty Polly

Pretty Polly

▪ British racehorse
      (foaled 1901), English racehorse (Thoroughbred) who won 22 of 24 races in her four-year career and earned more than $130,000. Pretty Polly was foaled by Admiration and sired by Gallinule. Exceptional from the start of her career, the two-year-old filly won her first race, the British Dominion Plate at Sandown, by 10 lengths according to the official record, but the consensus placed the margin of victory at about 40 lengths. She won her eight other races of the 1903 season and seven races of eight in 1904, including the One Thousand Guineas at Newmarket and the Saint Leger. In 1905 she also won all her races. In her last year of racing, 1906, she won two races. She was not successful at breeding.
