Roseway (horse)
Roseway (1916 – 1936) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She showed promise as a juvenile in 1918 when she won twice and was second twice from seven starts. In the following spring she produced by far her best performance when she won the 1000 Guineas by six lengths. She finished second when odds-on favourite for the Oaks Stakes but ran poorly in two subsequent races and was retired from racing at the end of the year. She had some success as a broodmare both in Britain and in the United States. Background Roseway was a brown mare bred and owned by the newspaper proprietor Edward Hulton. She was trained by Frank Hartigan at Weyhill in Hampshire. Her sire Stornoway was at his best as a two-year-old in 1913 when his wins included the Gimcrack Stakes. He ran only once subsequently and sired Roseway in his first season at stud. Roseway's dam Rose of Ayrshire produced several good broodmares and was the female-line ancestor of the Irish Derby winner Steel Pulse and the Argentinian champion Telescopico. Racing career 1918: two-year-old season Roseway began her racecourse career at Newmarket Racecourse in June when she won the Home-bred Two-year-old Plate. In
