Note du spécialiste

A bay colt by Highflyer out of Everlasting and foaled in 1786, Skyscraper was bred and owned by the Duke of Bedford. In his racing career (1789-1793) he won 13 races including the 1789 Derby, ridden by Sam Chifney, Snr., when he started as 7-4 on favourite, having won his three pervious races. At the close of the 1793 season he was retired to Stud at Woburn Abbey, but made no mark as a stallion.
