Flying Dutchman winning from Voltigeur at York 1851. Darley Arabian Sire line: King Fergus Branch. The Flying Dutchman was a talented horse of the highest class. This re-match, over two miles, held on May 13, 1851, was billed as the "Match of the Century." The stands were packed with thousands of spectators, and they were treated to a magnificent racing spectacle. Voltigeur, carrying eight and a half pounds less than his rival and under a new partner, Nat Flatman, made all the running until about a hundred yards from home when The Flying Dutchman, under a sober Charles Marlow, ranged alongside the younger horse. The two classic-winning champions raced as a team until The Flying Dutchman finally edged ahead to win by about a length. The History of Horse Racing by Roger Longrigg, page 128.
