Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Witch Elm (1904–1923) was a Thoroughbred racehorse owned by the William Hall Walker and trained by Jack Robinson. She was a daughter of Orme, who won the Eclipse Stakes twice and her dam was Cannie Lass, who was a daughter of Ayrshire.[1]

Racing career

She won five races out of the nine she contested as a two-year-old, including the Cheveley Park Stakes and the West of Scotland Foal Stakes at Ayr.[2] Amongst her other races were a fifth place in the National Breeders' Produce Stakes at Sandown and a third place in the Lancashire Breeders' Produce Stakes at Liverpool.[3] As a three-year-old she easily won the 1000 Guineas from Fragility[2] after starting the 4/1 favourite,[4] but could not repeat this classic winning form over longer distances.[5]

Stud career

Witch Elm did not produce any top racehorses, but some of her descendants became classic winners in Brazil.[1] In 1919 Witch Elm produced the filly Lady Clarence, who was sired by Queen Alexandra Stakes winner Royal Realm.[6] Witch Elm died in 1923 at the National Stud.[7]
