'''Shady Well''' (foaled 1929 in [Ontario](/source/Ontario)) was a Canadian [Thoroughbred](/source/Thoroughbred) [racehorse](/source/horse_racing). Owned and bred by the Seagram brothers' [Seagram Stable](/source/Seagram_Stable), she was sired by Purple Shade. Her dam was  The Wishing Well whose sire was the British champion, [The Tetrarch](/source/The_Tetrarch) who was voted [Britain's](/source/United_Kingdom) greatest two-year-old of the 20th Century.

Seagram Stable used trainer [William Bringloe](/source/William_Bringloe) to race Shady well through age three but for 1933, [Edward F. Seagram](/source/Edward_F._Seagram) bought out his brother's interest. He then raced under his own name and transferred Shady Well's conditioning over to [Johnny Thorpe](/source/John_J._Thorpe).

Racing at age two, Shady Well won the 1931 [Clarendon Plate](/source/Clarendon_Stakes) and finished second in the [Coronation Futurity Stakes](/source/Coronation_Futurity_Stakes). Among her fifteen career wins, against her female counterparts Shady Well won back-to-back editions of the [Maple Leaf Stakes](/source/Maple_Leaf_Stakes) in 1932 and 1933.  However, she is best remembered for her three straight wins between 1932 and 1934 against male horses in the [Durham Cup Handicap](/source/Durham_Cup_Stakes) which she followed up with another victory over males in the 1935 [King Edward Gold Cup](/source/King_Edward_Stakes).
