Tyrant (foaled 1882) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who came from California to win the 1885 Belmont Stakes, a prestigious race at Jerome Park Racetrack on the U. S. East Coast that would become the third leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series.[1]
Background
[edit]Tyrant was bred by Gen. William Harding at his Belle Meade Stud in Tennessee. He was initially purchased as a yearling for $300 by Mr. S. D. Bruce of Kentucky but who a year later sold him to James B. A. Haggin who brought the colt to his Rancho Del Paso Stud in Sacramento County, California.[2]
In 1884, the two-year-old Tyrant was conditioned for racing on the Rancho Del Paso's three-quarter mile training track but it was decided that the colt was not yet ready for the rigors of competition and Tyrant only began his racing career as a three-year-old in 1885.[3]
Tyrant's easy win in the Withers Stakes marked the first time that a California horse with its California trainer had won a major race for three-year-olds on the East Coast.[4]
Racing at age four, Tyrant won the Distillers' Stakes at the Kentucky Association track in Lexington.
Stud career
[edit]Retired to stud at his owner's Rancho Del Paso, Tyrant met with limited success as a sire. Among his offspring, Tyrant's most successful runners included The Manxman, winner of the 1898 Carter Handicap.
