Liverpool (horse)

Liverpool was a British racehorse and sire. He helped continue the Tramp sire line through his son Lanercost.

Liverpool was bred at the Bishop Burton stud of Richard Watt in Yorkshire.

Liverpool was lightly raced due to having small feet for his size. After racing once as a juvenile in 1830, he won his first race as a three year old in 1831. His next win was a head-to-head match with Chorister where he ended in a dead heat, and then won a run-off by a about a length. In 1832, he won the Port Stakes. In 1833, he won the York Spring Gold Cup and the Stanley Stakes.
