Seagram (horse)

Seagram was a notable American Thoroughbred racehorse, foaled in 1915. He was bred and owned by Joseph E. Seagram, of the prominent Seagram family known for their distilling business. Seagram was sired by Ben Brush, the 1896 Kentucky Derby winner, out of the mare Loreley.

Seagram achieved significant success on the racetrack, particularly excelling as a stayer. His most significant victory came in the 1918 Belmont Stakes, a prestigious American Classic race. He also captured the Brooklyn Handicap, further solidifying his reputation as a top-class racehorse of his era.

Following his racing career, Seagram was retired to stud, where he stood as a stallion. While he did not achieve the same level of success as a sire as he did as a racehorse, he did produce some notable offspring. His legacy remains tied to his victories in major races, most prominently the Belmont Stakes. Seagram's connections to both a significant name in American horseracing and a well-known business family contribute to his historical importance within the sport.
