Your Majesty (horse)
Your Majesty (1905–1934) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and later a successful sire in Argentina. He was a bay stallion bred by Jack Barnato Joel and trained by Charles Morton in Berkshire and Middlesex. As a two-year-old in 1907 he won once in five starts. In 1908 he ran in the 2000 Guineas but finished unplaced and he missed The Derby due to illness. He then won four races in a row: the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, the St George Stakes at Liverpool, and the St Leger at Doncaster. That year he was the leading money-winner in Britain. His victories were controversial because his owner Joel faced public hostility in a dispute with rival Sievier, which cast a shadow over his success. Your Majesty remained in training as a four-year-old in 1909 but did not win and was retired to stud after a less successful season.
As a sire, Your Majesty stood in England for six seasons. His best offspring was Princess Dorrie, who won the 1000 Guineas and The Oaks in 1914. He was then sold and exported to Argentina, where he stood at Haras Punta Lara and later Haras Ojo de Agua. He became champion sire in Argentina in 1920 and again in 1926, and he died in 1934 at the age of 29. His pedigree shows that he is inbred to the stallion Galopin.
