Rowton, a chestnut colt sired by Oiseau out of Katherina, was foaled in 1826. Rowton is best known for winning the St. Leger Stakes in 1829 during his three-year-old season. Rowton also won the York 440 pound sweepstakes in 1828, the Doncaster 50 Sovereigns Sweepstakes in 1830, and the Great Subscription and 2000 Sovereigns at York in 1831. In 1832, he was sold to Mr. W. Chifney and won the Oatland Stakes at Ascot and dead heated with Camarine (who won the second heat) in the Ascot Gold Cup.
