Doctor Syntax was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. Doctor Syntax won at
least 36 races from 1814 to 1823. He was noted for his consistency and
durability and recorded multiple wins in many of the period's leading
staying races.
Now archaeologists may have discovered the skeleton of the legendary 19th century stallion.
The bones were uncovered during the excavation of the former royal
stables of Palace House, one of the homes of King Charles II, in
Newmarket, Suffolk. The skeleton is almost completely intact and
measures the same height as the horse, 15 hands.
