Barcaldine

Barcaldine (1878) was an outstanding, undefeated British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He succeeded in carrying on the Matchem sire-line, which would have died out in Europe without his sons and grandsons. In the US, Matchem passed on his sire-line through Man o' War via the exported Australian. Pedigree Barcaldine was inbred (2x3), being by Solon (by the Triple Crown winner West Australian from Darling’s Dam). His dam, Ballyroe, was by Belladrum from Bon Accord by Adventurer from Darling’s Dam.
