Orville: The Unforgettable British Thoroughbred Racehorse and Sire of the Early 19th Century This vintage illustration captures the majesty and grace of Orville, a legendary British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, who ruled the racetracks during the early 19th century. Orville's racing career spanned from August 1801 to October 1807, during which he ran an impressive thirty-four times and won a remarkable twenty races. Orville's early years were spent in the lush pastures of Yorkshire, where he began his journey to greatness. His most significant achievement came at the prestigious Doncaster Racecourse, where he clinched the classic St Leger Stakes in 1802 as a three-year-old. This victory cemented his place in racing history and solidified his reputation as a formidable competitor. The image of Orville exudes power and elegance, with his muscular build and arched neck reflecting the physical attributes that made him a champion on the track.
