WENLOCK (1869, from Mineral by Rataplan) won one race, the Doncaster St. Leger, for his amateur sportsman owner, Thomas Egerton, (third) Earl Wilton, who had owned Gladiator, and would later own Cambridgeshire winner See Saw. WENLOCK'S dam, Mineral, a winner of four minor races, was by the good stayer and sire Rataplan.

ウェンロック（1869　母ミネラル、母の父ラタプラン）は1勝馬である。勝ったのはドンカスター競馬場のセントレジャー。馬主はアマチュアスポーツマンの3代ウィルトン伯爵トーマス・エガートン（homas Egerton, (third) Earl Wilton））である。3代ウィルトン伯爵はGladiatorの馬主であり、のちにケンブリッジシャーの勝ち馬シーソー(See Saw)を所有した。ウェンロックの母のミネラルは、小レースの勝ち馬。その父はステイヤーとして活躍したラタプランである。

WENLOCK was her first useful foal; after him came his sister, SILURIA (1870), tail-female ancestress of the good handicapper Willonyx, and the important American matron Boudoir (ancestress of Your Host, Secreto and Majestic Prince).

ウェンロックはミネラルの1番仔である。ウェンロックの妹には、Siluria（1870）がいる。Siluriaはハンデキャップホースとして活躍したWillonyxやアメリカで繁殖牝馬になったブドワール(Boudoir)の祖で、ブドワールのファミリーからはユアホスト、セクレト、マジェスティックプリンスなどが出ている。

Sold in 1871 in foal to Adventurer, Mineral went to Hungary where she dropped a colt, the future Deutches Derby winner Schwindler (1872, by Adventurer), and the following year she produced Kisber (1873, by Buccaneer), winner of the Epsom Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris and later a good sire.

1871年にアドヴェンチュラーを種付けしたあと、ミネラルはハンガリーに売られていった。そこで牡馬を産んだ。これがのちのドイツダービー馬シュワインドラー（1872生まれ、父アドヴェンチュラー）である。翌年、ミネラルはキスバーを産む（1873年生まれ、父バッカニア）。これがのちにイギリスダービーとパリ大賞を勝ち、種牡馬としても成功する。

Trained by Tom Wadlow, WENLOCK'S first race was the Two Thousand Guineas, won by Favonius, where he was unplaced.

トム・ワドロウ調教師のもと、ウェンロックは2000ギニーでデビューした。勝ったのはFavoniusで（！？マチガイ）、ウェンロックは着外だった。

Next was the Epsom Derby, won by Captain Henry Savile's Cremorne, where Wenlock ran fourth.

次はダービー。ヘンリー大尉のクレモルヌが勝ち、ウェンロックは4着。

At Ascot in June, he was unplaced in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, but two days later he managed second in the All-aged Stakes.

6月のアスコットで、プリンスオブウェールズで着外。2日後のオールエイジドSで2着に入る。

He did not appear again until September at Doncaster, where,

その後秋のドンカスターまでレースには出ず、

"sent to the post in perfect condition," he took the St. Leger,

セントレジャーに「完璧なコンディションで」出て、勝った。

with the previous year's juvenile champion Prince Charlie second, and fifteen others in the field;

16頭が出走、2歳チャンピオンのプリンスチャーリーを2着にしたがえて。

Cremorne, the best horse of that generation, due to an oversight, had not been entered. クレモルヌは、なにか失敗があってセントレジャーには出なかった。

WENLOCK had been scheduled for a match against Favonius in October of that year at Newmarket Houghton,

ウェンロックは10月のニューマーケットHoughton開催で、Favoniusとのマッチレースが組まれた。しかし取消料を払ってとりやめた。理由はamiss（調子が悪くなった）こと（こういう理由での取り消しは認められている）。その後4歳の間は走らなかった。

1875年3月にリンカンシャーHで着外になり、それで引退となった。

but paid forfeit, the general consensus being that he went "amiss," and he did not run at all at age four, but came out in March of 1875 to run in the Lincolnshire Handicap, unplaced, after which he was retired from the turf.

WENLOCK joined Cremorne at Savile's Rufford Abbey stud in Nottinghamshire, where Parmesan was a stallion and where Cremorne had been born and then returned to stand at stud. In 1891, Wenlock, age 22, was sold to the U.S., but on August 21 died at sea, enroute to America.

ウェンロックはクレモルヌと同じノッティンガムシャーのラフォードアビー牧場に繋養された。そこにはクレモルヌの父パルメザンもいて、クレモルヌの生地でもある。

1891年、22歳のウェンロックはアメリカに売られることになったが、8月21日に大西洋上の船の中で死んだ。

WENLOCK was a more useful sire of runners than is generally credited, and he was arguably one of the most significant broodmare sires in the history of the breed.

ウェンロックは同世代のなかで最も成功した種牡馬だった。そしてしばしば、サラブレッド血統史上、最も重要なBMSの1頭であると言われている。

His best runner was probably Panzerschiff (1884, Spiegelschiff by Speculum), winner of Doncaster's Champagne Stakes and Goodwood's Richmond Stakes as a juvenile, and of the 1-1/2 mile Great Yorkshire Stakes at age three; he was later sold as a stallion to Austria-Hungary, but was not a success. From Duvernay (by Beadsman) WENLOCK got Limestone (1878), a winner of Goodwood's Sussex Stakes, and his brother Quicklime (1879), winner of Ascot's Prince of Wales's Stakes in 1882, second in the Two Thousand Guineas and Epsom Derby, and winner of Epsom's City and Suburban (1-1/2 miles) at age five; Quicklime stood in Lincolnshire for a few years and was later sold to the U.S. as a stallion.

WENLOCK'S sons Abingdon (1887, out of Lady Langden-Kettledrum), Cyrus (1884, from Teardrop-Scottish Chief), Martenhurst (1888, from Hirondelle-Adventurer), and Deceiver (1880, out of Boot and Saddle-Trumpeter) were also all sold to the U.S. Martenhurst, in California, promised to be useful, but died after only one season at stud. Of the rest, Deceiver was the most successful; among his progeny was Puryear D. (1889, from Ada D.-Enquirer), winner of the Straus Stakes at Lexington and the Tobacco Stakes at Louisville. Puryear D was later sire of California sugar baron Adolph Spreckel's tough -- but perpetually lame -- colt, Dr. Leggo, fast winner of the California Derby, Ascot Derby, the Burns Handicap and the Christmas Handicap; standing at Spreckel's Napa Stud in California's Napa Valley, Dr. Leggo got a number of good runners, and was a successful broodmare sire, but the sire line disappeared.

WENLOCK'S primary contribution to thoroughbred bloodlines was through some of his steller broodmare daughters. First of these was the unraced Dead Lock (1878, from Malpractice by Chevalier d'Industrie); she produced Gervas and Islington (the latter sent to the U.S. at age five and installed as a stallion at James Robinson's stud at Halford), useful runners, and then dropped the outstanding racehorse Isinglass, unbeaten at ages two, and four, winner of England's Triple Crown at age three, and of the Ascot Gold Cup, his only race, at age five. Isinglass later got three classic winners, and two significant sire sons, John o' Gaunt, sire of Swynford, and Star Shoot, five times leading sire in the U.S.

WENLOCK'S daughter Sanda (1878, Sandal-Stockwell), placed in some races in her three seasons on the turf, and won over jumps. In the stud she bred Epsom Derby winner Sainfoin (1887, by Springfield), sire of the English Triple Crown winner Rock Sand (sire of Mahubah, Man o' War's dam) and of good broodmare daughters, including Bromus, the dam of that influential breed-maker, Phalaris, and Tout Suite, the dam of an important modern source of stoutness in thoroughbreds, Hurry On. Sanda also produced the good runner Black Sand (1897, by Melanian), winner of the Cesarewitch Stakes and Newmarket's Jockey Club Cup among other races, and her daughter, Sierra (1889, by Springfield) produced the speedy Sundridge (1898), an important stallion, and his sister, the good winner Amphora (1893), whose daughter Flaming Vixen carried forward a successful branch of Family 2-g.

WENLOCK also got Rinovata (1887, from a Rufford Abbey-bred broodmare, Traviata, by Cremorne), a winner of Newmarket's Heath Stakes and placed in some other races at age three. She produced seven winners, including Flume, winner of Ascot's Trial Stakes (Queen Anne Stakes), and Donnetta, who won 13 of her 47 starts, including the Duke of York Stakes and the Kempton Park Great Jubilee Handicap. Donnetta was later was an outstanding broodmare, dam of One Thousand Guineas winner Diadem, Two Thousand Guineas winner Diophon (later sire of Theresina), the high-class handicapper Diadumenos, Donnina, a winner in Italy that established a successful female family in the stud of Federico Tesio, and Tiara, a good broodmare in France. Donetta's daughter Renaissance, a winner of two races in 27 starts, later produced the flying Cos, winner of all but one of her seven juvenile starts and later dam of another flyer, Mrs. Rustom and of Rustom Pasha, a good winner and sire.

WENLOCK'S other daughters included Wedlock (1884, Cybele-Marsyas), the dam of Best Man (1890), winner of Epsom's Queen's Prize, Newmarket's July Cup and All-Aged Stakes and of the Prix du Conseil Municipal at Longchamp, later sire of the tough juvenile Stolen Kiss (dam of champion filly Straitlace and other good winners); Mocassin (1876, sister to Sanda), dam of Migräne, a winner in Germany of the Preis der Diana and the Hertefeld-Rennen; Stocklock (1880, out of Black Stocking-Stockwell), dam of Liverpool Autumn Cup winner Chubb; Sorcery(1877, from Christabelle-Fernhill), who bred two winners of the Austrian Derby; and a number of other daughters that produced winners and bred on.
