Hambletonian (1792-1818) was one of the greatest racehorses of the late 18th century and arguably in the top one hundred thoroughbreds of all time.
Hambletonian was named after the historic racing area on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, situated at 1000 feet, at the top of Sutton Bank, near Thirsk.

His breeding goes back to Bishop’s Hambletonian who was a “high-caste runner” who died in 1808, and whose name reappears constantly in the pedigrees of the best trotters of the early period, and he was a very successful sire of them in his own right.
