Reve d'Or
Reve d'Or (1884 – after 1904) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won two British Classic Races in 1887. She ran nine times as a juvenile in 1886, winning three races including an upset victory in the Dewhurst Plate in October. In the following year she won nine races including the 1000 Guineas, Oaks Stakes, Sussex Stakes, York Queen's Plate, Yorkshire Oaks, Great Foal Stakes and Newmarket Oaks. She remained in training until the age of seven, winning the Jockey Club Cup in 1888 and the City and Suburban Handicap in 1890. She had limited success as a broodmare in France.
Reve d'Or was a chestnut mare bred and owned by Henry Somerset, 8th Duke of Beaufort. The filly was sent into training with Alec Taylor Sr. at Manton in Wiltshire.
Her sire, Hampton was an excellent stayer who won both the Goodwood Cup and the Doncaster Cup. Hampton was Champion sire in 1887 and sired, in addition to Merry Hampton, the Derby winners Merry Hampton, Ladas and Ayrshire as well as the influential sires Bay Ronald and Royal Hampton. Reve d'Or's dam, Queen of the Roses, was a granddaughter of the Irish broodmare Maria (foaled 1845), making her a distant relative of The Finn and Wintergreen. Queen of the Roses had once been sold for £30 and was then acquired almost as cheaply by the Duke of Beaufort.
In her first major test, Reve d'Or finished third to Timothy in the Stockbrige Post Sweepstakes at Stockbridge Racecourse in June and then contested a Rous Memorial Stakes over six furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse on 29 July in which ran unplaced behind Mamia. She then won the Bretty Stakes at Derby Racecourse, upsetting the 1/20 favourite Kilwarlin.
On 1 October at Newmarket Racecourse the filly started 7/2 favourite for another Rous Memorial but was unplaced again. At the end of the month at Newmarket she ran third to Caller Herrin in the Criterion Stakes. and then won the Home-bred Produce Stakes. Reve d'Or was then stepped up in class for the seven furlong Dewhurst Plate at the same meeting and started a 20/1 outsider in a ten-runner field which included Florentine (winner of the Middle Park Plate), Enterprise (July Stakes) and Freedom (Molecomb Stakes). Ridden by Charles Wood she tracked the leaders before going to the front approaching the final furlong and drew away in the closing stages to win by three lengths from Enterprise.
Reve d'Or was beaten in three other races in 1886.
On 29 April Reve d'Or, with Wood in the saddle, started the even money favourite for the 74th running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket. The best fancied of her eleven rival were Agave, Lord Zetland's Gale, Edoardo Ginistrelli's Ginestra and Lord Bradford's Tactic. Reve d'Or was settled just behind the leaders as first St Mary, then Agnostic, then Porcelain made the running. She took the lead entering the last quarter mile and after a "good race" won by half a length from Porcelain, with Freedom the same distance away in third place.
Reve d'Or was then stepped up in distance for the 109th running of the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Racecourse. She started the 8/11 favourite ahead of Lady Muncaster, with Freedom and Hawthorn being the only others in the nine-runner field to start at less than 25/1. Reve d'Or was settled by Wood in mid-division before making steady progress and turned into the straight in second place behind the 40/1 outsider St Helen. The favourite overtook the outsider inside the last quarter mile and drew away to win "in a canter" by three lengths with a long gap back to Freedom in third. Shortly afterwards she ran in a five furlong sprint race at Sandown Park Racecourse leading to claims that she was being "egregiously messed about" by her connections.
