Hurry On was a thoroughbred racehorse, foaled in 1913. For a trainer who conditioned as many top winners as the Englishman Fred Darling, the observation that Hurry On was the best horse he ever trained is high praise indeed. Hurry On never ran as a two year old and was not entered for the Derby, but he was unbeaten in all six three year old starts, including the war time St. Leger at Newmarket Racecourse and the Jockey Club Cup. He cost his Scotch whisky producer owner James Buchanan, later Baron Woolavington, just 500 Guineas as a yearling. Given the rather low quality of the 1916 Derby field, including the winning filly, Fifinella, it is likely that Hurry On would have won it had he entered. He sired the Derby winner Captain Cuttle from the first mare he covered at stud, and was champion sire in 1926, the year his colt Coronach emulated Captain Cuttle at Epsom. He sired a third Derby winner in Call Boy, as well as two Epsom Oaks winners, Pennycomequick and Toboggan, and two 1,000 Guineas winners, Plack and Cresta Run. Hurry On's death came only a year after that of Buchanan. The impacts of the duo on British racing extent through generations.
