About the Polish Thoroughbred Breed
.By the term ‘Polish Thoroughbreds’
is meant horses of pure English Thoroughbred stock as bred and
developed in Poland. The first English Thoroughbred were introduced
into Poland early in the 19th century by four men in particular:
Count A. Zamozski, E. Eberhard, F. Ursyn Niemcewicz, and, rather
later than the first three but no less prominent, Count Krasinski.
The Polish Horse Racing Association, analogous to the Jockey
Club of England, was formed in 1841; but breeding racehorses
was an expensive hobby, and did not extend beyond the efforts
of a few rich families until 18772, when economic conditions
improved generally. The introduction of the totalisator to race
meetings in 1879 contributed materially to the improved financial
conditions and so to the wider development of Polish Thoroughbred
breeding.
The most important studs during this period were: L. Grabouski’s
stud, founded in 1846 at Leczna and later transferred to Serniki;
Jan Ursyn Niemcewicz’s at Stoki in 1850; Count L. Krasinski’s,
at Krasne in 1857; Count August Potocki’s, at Jablonna
in 1866; W.W. Mysyrowicz’s at Los in 1867; Baron L. Kronenburg’s
at Brzez; Jan and Edward Reszka, at Borowno and Skrzydow in
1833; H. Block’s, at Leczna in 1893; Prince Lubomirski’s,
at Kruszyna in 1895; and Michal Berson’s, in Leszno in
1897.
All these studs were of a very high standard, thanks mainly
to the good brood mares imported from England, France, Germany
and Austria. One of the best known stallions in those days was
‘Flying Fox’, imported from England by E. Blanc,
who paid 37,000 guineas for him. He stood at Jardy at a fee
of 10,000 francs.
Thoroughbreds bred in Poland ran with success all over Europe,
notably in Russia at Moscow, Petrograd and Tsarskoe Selo, as
well as Baden-Baden, Vienna and Hamburg.
In the 1890’s a number of big private stables declined,
and were replaced by big training stables on English lines,
which has in training large numbers of individually owned and
bred horses. After 1903 with the death of the great amateur
promoters of Thoroughbred breeding, such as Ludwik Grabowski
and Count Krasinski, the breeding of racehorses in Poland declined.
There was, however, a considerable revival after the First World
War, through the efforts of Frederik Juriewicz, who was responsible
for saving over 200 Thoroughbreds evacuated to Odessa at the
beginning of that war. One of these horses won the Derby at
Odessa in 1918. In 1919 they were returned safely to Poland
via Romania.
A general description of the Polish Thoroughbred must necessarily
be for practical purposes identical with the English Thoroughbred.
To what extent the racehorse of Poland will again affect racing
in Europe is entirely problematical. As is generally known,
the racing Thoroughbred of France not only survived quite successfully
the Second World War, but after the lapse of but a very few
years from its cessation, was once again competing with the
English racehorse with very considerable success, not only in
France, but in England itself. What has been said in general
commendation of the Polish-Arab and Polish Half-bred certainly
applies to their Thoroughbred.
