American racehorse owner (1812–1892)
Richard Ten Broeck
Richard Ten Broeck (1810s – August 1, 1892) was an American owner of Thoroughbred race horses. He operated several race courses, including the Metairie Race Course, and later bought winning racehorse Lexington from Elisha Warfield. In a trend nicknamed as an "American invasion", he entered many of his horses in competitions in England starting in 1856, amassing several wins such as the 1861 Goodwood Cup and earning $200,000 ($5.62 million in 2025); this also inspired a rise in American-owned competitors in English horse races.
