Oxted (foaled 6 March 2016) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse who specialises in sprinting. After running fifth on his only start as a juvenile he won a maiden race on his three-year-old debut and ended his second campaign with a victory in the Portland Handicap. As a four-year-old he made significant improvement to win the Abernant Stakes and July Cup. He added a further major success in 2021 when he won the King's Stand Stakes. Background Oxted is a bay horse with a white sock on his right hind leg bred in England by his owner Homecroft Wealth Racing, a syndicate which included Tony Hirschfeld, Stephen Piper and David Fish. He was sent into training with Roger Teal at the Windsor House Stable in Lambourn, Berkshire. He was gelded before the start of his racing career. He was from the third crop of foals sired by the July Cup winner Mayson. Oxted's dam Charlotte Rosina showed some racing ability, winning four minor races from seventeen starts. Charlotte Rosina was a female-line descendant of Myrobella making her a distant relative of Snow Knight, Linamix, Big Game, Chamossaire and Policeman. Racing career 2018: two-year-old season On his racecourse debut Oxted started at odds of 33/1 for a maiden race over six furlongs on soft ground at Doncaster Racecourse on 10 November. Ridden by Liam Keniry he kept on well in the last quarter mile and finished fifth of the fourteen runners, beaten nine lengths by the winner Dazzling Dan. 2019: three-year-old season Oxted began his second campaign on 28 April at Salisbury Racecourse in a novice race (for horse with no more than two previous wins) over seven furlongs in which he was ridden by David Probert. Starting a 25/1 outsider he recorded his first success as he disputed the lead from the start and won "readily" by two and a quarter lengths from The Night Watch. When he was stepped up in class for the Listed Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury Racecourse three weeks later he led for most of the way before being overtaken in the final strides and beaten half a length by Khadeem. He then ran sixth behind Waldpfad in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury in July and finished a distant last of four behind Tabdeed in a minor race at Doncaster Racecourse on 3 August. Two weeks later he was assigned a weight of 128 pounds
