Sandwich (horse)

Sandwich was a British Thoroughbred racehorse foaled in 1798. He was sired by Volunteer, out of an unnamed mare by Woodpecker. Primarily known for winning the 1801 Epsom Derby, Sandwich was owned by Mr. Wilson and trained by Robert Robson, who was a prominent trainer of the era.

Sandwich's racing career, while highlighted by his Derby victory, was relatively short. Details of his other races are scarce in readily available historical records, common for horses of that period.

The Epsom Derby win was considered a significant achievement, contributing to the reputations of his owner and trainer. However, Sandwich himself did not become a notable sire in the stud book. His legacy largely rests on his single, prestigious victory in the Derby. Further details regarding his post-racing life or impact on breeding lines are limited.
