High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Galopin (1872–1899) was a good British Thoroughbred racehorse and a prominent sire. Galopin's sire, Vedette, had a very good racing career, winning the Great Yorkshire Stakes, the Doncaster Cup (twice), and the 1857 2,000 Guineas Stakes. Vedette's value as a stallion had declined to such an extent that he was sold at auction for 42 guineas when he was seventeen. Other than Galopin, clearly his most successful progeny, he produced only one other horse of note, Speculum, who won the Goodwood Cup, the Suburban Handicap, was third in the Epsom Derby, and was Britain's Champion Sire in 1878. Vedette also sired some good hunters. Galopin's dam Flying Duchess (1853) was by the 1849 Epsom Derby winner The Flying Dutchman. She was sold for 100 guineas, with a foal at foot (Galopin) when she was nineteen.
