In the obituary of Cinderella which appeared in The Thoroughbred Record in the spring of 1906, Cinderella was compared to England`s famed producer Pocahontas. That celebrated matron produced three sons who each became important stallions, their offspring proving highly influential to the breed. Cinderella deserved this comparison, as during her long stud career, she produced two sons whose male lines have survived to the present day. Cinderella was bred in England by Sir Thomas Throckmorton. She was sold as a yearling when Alfred Withers, acting on behalf of Sir Thomas, contacted an American in Kentucky, Egmont Lawrence, about shipping a consignment of horses to Kentucky and selling them there. All told, ten horses were shipped to Lexington, two of which were yearlings, Cinderella and Tarantella. Dr. Neet purchased the two fillies after their arrival in Kentucky, paying $500 for Cinderella and $400 for Tarantella. Cinderella was a small, weedy bay specimen with an irregular blaze slashing down her face. Her unattractiveness was more than physical, for her personality left much to be desired. She was nothing like her literary namesake, instead her temperament being more akin to Cinderella`s evil sisters. Cinderella was bad-tempered and vicious, a trait she went on to transmit on to some of her offspring. It was probably no coincidence that two of her sons were gelded.
