Perdita II (1881-1899) was a British Thoroughbred race mare who was an outstanding broodmare.

Racing record

She commenced her racing career as a selling plater, but proved a useful racemare by winning seven races[verification needed]. Perdita II was purchased for the Prince of Wales in 1888 for £900.[1]

Stud record

Perdita II was more influential as a broodmare, producing the full brothers Florizel II (won Goodwood Cup, £7,858 and sired three Classic winners); Persimmon, Sandringham (unraced, exported to the US and sired some winners), and Diamond Jubilee.[1] Her sons earned over 75,000 guineas. In all, she produced 12 foals. Owing to the success of her descendants she was listed as a Cluster Mare, which is a Thoroughbred brood mare that has produced two or more winners of five or more of the eight most important and valuable races, within six generations.[2]

Perdita II died in 1899.
