Durbar II |
 | | Durbar II was a Derby winner in a less-than-memorable year, but his controversial pedigree made him a landmark case, as the first Derby winner whose pedigree was not recognized by the English Jockey Club as a pure-bred thoroughbred. |
 | | A few years into Durbar's stud career, Henry Duryea died, and while his widow maintained the stallions (which included Sweeper II, Irish Lad, and Durbar II) and most of the broodmare band, she unloaded some stock. |
 | | Durbar II, Derby winner and influential sire, whose bloodlines changed the course of thoroughbred breeding in France and America, will be honored in the near future with an historical marker on the campus of the Harford Community College, built on the site of Prospect Hill Stud, where he lies buried. |
