Archers Bay (1995–2002) was a Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse known for winning the first two legs of the 1998 Canadian Triple Crown. He was sired by Silver Deputy and out of the stakes-winning mare, Adorned, a daughter of the 1975 French Derby winner, Val de l'Orne.[1]
In the 1998 Canadian Triple Crown series, Archers Bay won the Queen's Plate[2] and the Prince of Wales Stakes[3] but did not run in the final leg as the Breeders Stakes is a test on turf. He was voted Canadian Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse.[4]
Retired to stud duty, Archers Bay sired Arch Hall and other foals.[5]
The stallion was humanely euthanized in 2002 after an unsuccessful colic surgery and is buried on his farm.[6]
