Thatching (31 May 1975 – 1999) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. The horse’s early career was delayed and disrupted by injury and he did not show his best form until switched to sprinting distances in the spring of 1979 when he won the Duke of York Stakes. He improved further when equipped with blinkers that summer recording impressive victories in both the Cork and Orrery Stakes and the July Cup.
