Bee's-wing (Mr. Wme. Orde's bay filly 'Bee's-wing' by Dr. Syntax out of a mare by Ardossan) Oil on canvas, 28" x 36" Signed and dated 1842 $90,000. - 120,000. Bee's-wing was rated a favorite among racegoers, and they had plenty of chances to form their opinion. During an eight-year career Bee's-wing won more than 50 races, including the Ascot Gold Cup, the Doncaster Cup four times, and the Newcastle Cup six times. For the first year off the track she was used as a park hack before being covered by Touchstone. Her unions with Touchstone produced the 2,000 Guineas winner Nunnykirk and two-time champion sire Newminster. Bee's-wing is the taproot mare of such classic winners as Sassafras and Assert, as well as Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I) winner Last Tycoon.
