Item Details
Description
John McAuliffe (Irish/American, 1830-1900)
DE COURCEY
FLEETWING (PAIR)

Oil on canvas, 18"x 24" each
Signed and dated 1866 Fleetwing and De Courcey, successful New York racehorses in the 1860s, were half brothers out of the mare Rhoda. Their dam was owned by Leonard W. Jerome, a founder of the American Jockey Club. De Courcey, winner of the 1868 Grand National Handicap, may be best known for a loss. He led the 1867 Belmont Stakes by as many as six lengths but was passed in the stretch by the phenomenal filly Ruthless to finish second in the inaugural running of the classic event.
