M-Lolshan (22 May 1975 – after 1998) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was a tough and consistent middle distance horse who won or placed in 19 of his 22 races. After winning one of his three starts as a juvenile in 1977, he made steady improvement as a three-year-old, winning the King George V Stakes in June and the Irish St Leger in October as well as being placed in the St Leger, March Stakes and Geoffrey Freer Stakes. In 1979 he won the Grosser Preis von Baden and was placed in the Princess of Wales's Stakes, Geoffrey Freer Stakes and Preis von Europa as well as finishing fourth in both the Coronation Cup and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He made little impact as a breeding stallion. Background M-Lolshan was a "lengthy" brown horse with no white marking bred in Ireland. As a yearling he was put up for auction at the Houghton Sale at Newmarket and was sold for 10,000 guineas. He entered the ownership of Essa Alkhalifa and was sent into training with Ryan Price at Findon in West Sussex. He was one of the best horses sired by the outstanding stayer Levmoss, who won the Ascot Gold Cup and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1969. Levmoss was a representative of the Byerley Turk sire line, unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian. M-Lolshan's dam Supreme Lady, who won one race as a two-year-old in 1967, and also produced Ladytown, the grand-dam of Vinnie Roe. Racing career 1977: two-year-old season After finishing third over seven furlongs on his racecourse debut M-Lolshan contested a 23-runner maiden race over one mile at Newbury Racecourse in September. He accelerated away from his opponents in the closing stages and won by three lengths from Ponte Vecchio. In his only other start he was brought back in distance and finished third behind Home Run and Dactylographer in the Philips Electrical Stakes over seven furlongs at Ascot Racecourse. At the end of the year the Independent Timeform organisation gave him a rating of 101, 29 pounds behind their top two-year-old Try My Best. 1978: three-year-old season In 1978 M-Lolshan finished second in his first three starts and was then moved up in distance and looked somewhat unlucky when narrowly beaten by the four-year-old Pollerton in the Golden Jubilee
