Hurry On (7 May 1913 – 1936) was an undefeated British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire that revived the Matchem sire line.^[2] English trainer Fred Darling called Hurry On the best horse he ever trained.

Breeding

Hurry On was by Marcovil, who won two races and was an ordinary sire. His dam was the unraced Toute Suite by

guineas as a yearling. He was a late colt, having been foaled on 7 May, but he matured into a 17 hands

high horse.

Racing record

As he was a backward late colt, Hurry On was not raced as a two-year-old and was not entered in

Jockey Club Cup

.

1,000 Guineas winners, Plack and Cresta Run.^[4] In 1921 his stud fee was 200 guineas.^[5]
