Breyer Lexington Race Horse Ornament

Lexington | Racehorse Ornament

Foaled in 1850 near present-day Lexington, Kentucky, the aptly-named Lexington was one of the most influential Thoroughbred racehorse sires of his time. He won six of his seven races and earned $56,600 on the track (more than $2 million in today's money), then went on to lead America’s sire list for 14 consecutive years, plus an additional two posthumously. Over 150 years later, many of racing’s current stars can still trace their heritage back to this Kentucky legend.
