Sir Barton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Barton, (1916-1937), was a chestnut thoroughbred colt, who, in 1919 became the first winner of the American Triple Crown.

Sired by leading stud Star Shoot out of the Hanover mare, Lady Sterling, his grandsire was the 1893 English Triple Crown champion, Isinglass.

Sir Barton was Kentucky bred by John E. Madden and Vivian A. Gooch at Hamburg Place Farm near Lexington. Madden raced him in his two-year-old season. He was entered in six races, winning none. Madden sold the horse in 1918 for $10,000 to Canadian businessman, J. K. L. Ross.
