About Owen Tudor

Owen Tudor (1938–1966) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1940 to 1942 he ran twelve times and won six races. His most important win came as a three-year-old in the summer of 1941 when he won the "New Derby" at Newmarket. During the Second World War many British racecourses were closed either for safety reasons or because the land was needed for military use. Epsom Downs Racecourse was used throughout the war for an anti-aircraft battery, leading to the creation of a substitute or "New" version of the race. Owen Tudor went on to win a substitute "Ascot Gold Cup" at Newmarket in 1942. At the end of that season he was retired to stud where he had considerable success as a sire of winners.
