Phalaris XX) Beschreibung: Scapa Flow was a nice blend of the best qualities of both her sire and dam, since Chaucer needed mates with some size and substance, and Anchora needed some class and quality. A well-made filly, their daughter wasn't a physical standout, but had a nice action and good temperament. Like her mother, she was unplaced at two, when still relatively undersized and underdeveloped. At three, Scapa Flow was slow coming to form and she started and was beaten in a pair of selling events in an effort to get a win. In the second of these races, word got round that she was going to be claimed by another trainer, and Derby's trainer, George Lambton, arranged for her to be bought as a "friendly claim" by trainer Johnny McGuigan, who promptly returned Scapa Flow to the Derby stables and changed the face of breeding forever. At long last, Scapa Flow scored her first win in a plate at Brighton going twelve furlongs. Shortly thereafter, she won a handicap at Stockton at the same distance, and, at Newmarket late in the season, was victorious again in the Scarborough Stakes, also at twelve furlongs. Lambton, who was familiar with her dam's racing career, felt that she had much more to show on the racecourse the next season if given the chance, but Lord Derby was opposed to racing his prized fillies as four-year-olds lest they tail off and disgrace themselves. Vererbung: Scapa Flow was just one of the great broodmares that made up the Derby stud of the early Twentieth Century. Her influence as the dam of Pharos and Fairway has made her a significant genetic force in the breed, and in recent years, combining the blood of her sons has often proven an international formula for success.
