Sired by Birdcatcher out of Echidna (by the English stallion Economist), he was also an influential sire in England, France and Australia. Racing careerA dark chestnut colt with a star, snip, and white sock on his near (left) hind leg, The Baron won three of his four starts at the Curragh in Ireland as a three-year-old before being shipped to England in 1845 by his breeder, veterinary surgeon George Watts. He was then sold to John Scott with whom he won the 1¾-mile St. Leger Stakes and the 2¼-mile Cesarewitch Handicap, the latter under {{nowrap|7 st 9 lb}} ({{convert|107|lb|kg|disp=or}}) for 3,200 guineas. This was the largest purse ever awarded a three-year-old up to that time. The Baron was then purchased by Edward Rawson Clark. The Baron raced as a four-year-old in 1846, but did not perform well and suffered from bad feet. Clark sold him to John Mytton, a gambler; after he left Scott, The Baron never won another race.[1] His best result was a second-place finish in the 1846 Craven Stakes at Epsom Downs. Stud recordHe was given in partial payment to the breeder John Theobald, who stood him at Stockwell Stud. After Theobald's death, The Baron was sold to Perrot de Thaunberg of France's National Stud. There he sired many Thoroughbreds, including:
Rataplan and Stockwell were full brothers out of the same dam, Pocahontas. The Baron was known as "The slim and savage" Baron, due to his terrible temperament. Despite rough treatment at his French stud,[1] he had a great influence on French Thoroughbred bloodlines; several of his progeny were also exported to Australia. The Baron died in 1859.[2] Pedigree{{Pedigree|name = The Baron (IRE), chestnut stallion, 1842 |f = Birdcatcher 1833 |m = Echidna 1838 |ff = Sir Hercules 1826 |fm = Guiccioli 1823 |mf = Economist 1825 |mm = Miss Pratt 1825 |fff = Whalebone |ffm = Peri |fmf = Bob Booty |fmm = Flight |mff = Whisker |mfm = Floranthe |mmf = Blacklock |mmm = Gadabout |ffff = Waxy |fffm = Penelope |ffmf = Wanderer |ffmm = Thalestris |fmff = Chanticleer |fmfm = Ierne |fmmf = Escape |fmmm = Young Heroine |mfff = Waxy |mffm = Penelope |mfmf = Octavian |mfmm = Caprice |mmff = Whitelock |mmfm = Coriander Mare |mmmf = Orville |mmmm = Minstrel (Family 24)[3] |}} See also
