Named for the Ancient Greek god of the sea, earthquakes and horses, this Australian-bred champion, foaled in New South Wales in 1903, had a brief earth-shattering turf career. His dam Jacinth was a daughter of 1883 Melbourne Cup winner Martini-Henry and granddaughter of 1877 winner Chester. After one win at two years, Poseidon at three won 11 of 14 starts including two Derbys, the 1906 Caulfield and Melbourne Cups and two St Legers. He won another 7 races at four years, including a second Caulfield Cup and the VRC Melbourne Stakes. Poseidon is in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame. Positano (GB) – Jacinth POSEIDON
