Context: In horse racing a maiden race is an event for horses that have not won a race. Horses that have not won a race are referred to as maidens. Maiden horse races are held over a variety of distances and under conditions with eligibility based on the sex or age of the horse. Races may be handicaps, set weights, or weight for age. In many countries, maiden races are the lowest level of class and represent an entry point into a racing career. In countries such as the United States, maidens rank above claiming races although owners may choose to race at maiden level to prevent their horse being claimed (bought) by another owner., or "cultivars" of an animal species, achieved through the process of selective breeding. When the lineage of a purebred animal is recorded, that animal is said to be "pedigreed"., Thomas Darley (born 19 May 1664) served as Her Majesty's Consul to the Levant (Syria) during the reign of Queen Anne. He is famous for having bought an Arabian colt that became an important part of the history of the Thoroughbred breed. , The Arabian or Arab horse (, DMG "in arab") is a breed of horse that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world. It is also one of the oldest breeds, with archaeological evidence of horses in the Middle East that resemble modern Arabians dating back 4,500 years. Throughout history, Arabian horses have spread around the world by both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and strong bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse., Aleppo (/ ALA-LC: "") is a city in Syria, serving as the capital of the Aleppo Governorate, the most populous Syrian governorate. With an official population of 2,132,100 (2004 census), Aleppo was the largest Syrian city before the Syrian Civil War; however, now Aleppo is likely the second-largest city in Syria after the capital Damascus., Old Rosebud ( 1911 -- 1922 ) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse whose pedigree traced to the influential sire Eclipse , and through Eclipse to the founding stallion , the Darley Arabian . In the list of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century by Blood - Horse magazine , Old Rosebud ranks 88th . Despite a successful racing career , Old Rosebud was plagued by ailments throughout his life , culminating in a fatal injury at a claiming race when he was 11 years old ., The Darley Arabian was one of three dominant foundation sires of modern Thoroughbred horse racing bloodstock, the other two being the Godolphin Arabian and the Byerley Turk. This bay Arabian horse was bought in Aleppo, Syria, by Thomas Darley in 1704 and shipped back to Aldby Park in England, as a present for his brother., A breed is a specific group of domestic animals having homogeneous appearance (phenotype), homogeneous behavior, and/or other characteristics that distinguish it from other organisms of the same species. Breeds are formed through genetic isolation and either natural adaptation to the environment or selective breeding, or a combination of the two. Despite the centrality of the idea of "breeds" to animal husbandry and agriculture, no single, scientifically accepted definition of the term exists. A breed is therefore not an objective or biologically verifiable classification but is instead a term of art amongst groups of breeders who share a consensus around what qualities make some members of a given species members of a nameable subset., Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport, involving two or more jockeys riding horses over a set distance for competition. It is one of the most ancient of all sports and its basic premise  to identify which of two or more horses is the fastest over a set course or distance  has remained unchanged since the earliest times., A handicap race in horse racing is a race in which horses carry different weights, allocated by the handicapper. A better horse will carry a heavier weight, to give him or her a disadvantage when racing against slower horses. The handicapper's goal in assigning handicap weights is to enable all the horses to finish together (in a dead heat)., A graded stakes race is a thoroughbred horse race in the United States or Canada that meets the criteria of the American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA). A specific grade level (I, II, III or listed) is then assigned to the race, based on statistical analysis of the quality of the field in previous years, provided the race meets the minimum purse criteria for the grade in question. , The Godolphin Arabian (1753), also known as the Godolphin Barb, was an Arabian horse and was one of three stallions that founded the modern Thoroughbred race horse bloodstock (the others were the Darley Arabian and the Byerley Turk). He was named for his best-known owner, Francis Godolphin, 2nd Earl of Godolphin., The Byerley Turk (c. 1680 - c. 1706) was the earliest of three stallions that were the founders of the modern Thoroughbred horse racing bloodstock (the other two are the Godolphin Arabian and the Darley Arabian). The biographical details of the stallion are the subject of much speculation. The General Stud Book simply states, without reference to his origins, that he was once in Ireland: ""BYERLY TURK, was Captain Byerly's charger in Ireland, in King William's wars (1689, &c.)"." As for his earlier history, the most popular theory is that the horse was captured at the Battle of Buda (1686) (or possibly the Battle of Vienna), either by Byerley or another, and sent to England. He definitely served as Captain Byerley's war horse when he was dispatched to Ireland in 1689 during King William's War and saw further military service in the Battle of the Boyne., A claiming race in thoroughbred horse racing is one in which the horses are all for sale for more or less the same price (the "claiming price") up until shortly before the race. Race types form a hierarchy in terms of the quality of horse they attract, with handicap races and graded stakes races attracting the "best" horses and maiden races the most unseasoned. Claiming races fall at the bottom of this hierarchy, below maiden races, and make up the bulk of races run at most US tracks. For example in Kentucky in 1999, 54% of all races run were claiming races, but had only 20% of the purse dollar value, the lowest average purse among race types., The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word "thoroughbred" is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered "hot-blooded" horses that are known for their agility, speed and spirit., Subject: old rosebud, Relation: instance_of, Options: (A) age (B) ala (C) animal (D) animal husbandry (E) arabian horse (F) art (G) association (H) behavior (I) breed (J) capital (K) city (L) class (M) classification (N) combination (O) committee (P) course (Q) definition (R) earl (S) environment (T) event (U) goal (V) governorate (W) head (X) hierarchy (Y) horse (Z) horse race ([) king (\) may (]) military (^) point (_) process (`) quality (a) race (b) race horse (c) racing (d) rank (e) riding (f) saw (g) set (h) sex (i) share (j) single (k) spirit (l) stallion (m) subset (n) term (o) thoroughbred (p) three (q) value (r) war (s) word
