Fordham (horse) (original) (raw)

Fordham (30 March 1975 – after 1987) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As three-year-old in 1978 he won two minor races before recording his first important victory in the Cumberland Lodge Stakes. In the following year he showed little worthwhile form in his first three starts but then had his biggest success when taking the Group 1 Joe McGrath Memorial Stakes on his final racecourse appearance. After his retirement from racing, he became a breeding stallion in Ireland before being exported to South Africa where he had some success as a sire of winners.
