Marguerite (horse)

A broodmare's place in racing history A 1946 ''Daily Racing Form'' article lamented the fact that when a sire of one or more outstanding runners dies there will be much written about that stallion in country's all over the world.

That same article recounted a story by the sports Editor of the '' Atlanta Journal'' about his visit to Claiborne Farm and the gravesite of Marguerite. The ''Daily Racing Form'' commented that Arthur Hancock telling the reporter he was saving a space next to her for Sir Gallahad III was "one of the most romantic stories in the annals of the world's turf".

Garden Marguerite
Garden marguerites, also known as marguerite daisies, are cultivars of plants in the subtribe Glebionidinae of the family Asteraceae, the great majority being hybrids created in cultivation. One of the genera belonging to the subtribe, ''Argyranthemum'', was introduced into cultivation from the Canary Islands in the 18th century, and modern cultivars are mostly sold and grown under the genus name ''Argyranthemum'' or the species name '' Argyranthemum frutescens'', although many are actually intergeneric hybrids. The first such hybrids involved species now placed in the genus ''Glebionis'', but other crosses within the subtribe are known. Breeding has aimed at introducing flower heads in varied colours and shapes while retaining the shrubby habit of ''Argyranthemum''.
