Francis Sartorius (British, 1734-1804) Highflyer

oil on canvas, 78.5 x 103cm; framed 89.5 x 114.7cm, Lord and Lady Fairhaven, Kirtling Tower, Cambridgeshire. Highflyer (1774-1793) was an undefeated colt that remains one of the most successful horses in the history of horse racing during the 18th century, whose stock won £170,407. Winning his maiden race at Newmarket in October 1777, this began a magnificent career which culminated in his sale by Lord Bolingbroke to Richard Tattersall in 1779 for the colossal sum of £2,500. After completing his career undefeated in 14 race starts, Highflyer retired later that year.
