Otho b c 1760 (Chedworth's Moses -

Victor Barb. Family 4-b.
Otho was bred by the Honourable Richard
Vernon of Newmarket, who also bred the Derby winner
Diomed (ch c 1777

of Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire. He was
on the turf for four years where he defeated such horses as Turf (b c

Otho was a private stallion for
Lord Ossory until 1778 when he covered publicy for 20gs. In 1780 his fee
declined to 5gs and remained there until 1784. In the stud he got a
number of excellent runners for Lord Ossory. His most famous son was Dorimant
(ch c 1772), a notable racehorse and sire. His daughter Otheothea (br f
1772) was the ancestress of a number of good horses, including the One
Thousand Guineas winner Kate (b f 1849 Auckland). Another daughter,
Pastorella (b f 1774), was the ancestress of the St. Leger winner
William (b c 1811 Governor), and his daughter Nelly (b f 1779) was the
ancestress of the Prix Royal Oak winner Nelusco (b c 1865 Monarque) and
other good winners.
