Turn-To (1951-1973) was a British Thoroughbred stallion racehorse. He was sired by the great British stakes winner Royal Charger, out of the French mare, Source Sucree, whose sire Admiral Drake was third on the French sire list in 1949.

Imported to the U.S. as a yearling, Turn-To was bought at the Keeneland sales for $20,000 to race for Capt. Harry F. Guggenheim's Cain Hoy Stable.

As a two year old with Henry Moreno aboard, Turn-To won the Garden State Futurity, the Saratoga Special, and the Flamingo Stakes at three.

Retirement

Upon retirement, Turn-To inititally stood at stud at Claiborne Farm before being moved to Spendthrift Farm after a disagreement between Guggenheim and Arthur B. Hancock.

His very successful progeny include First Landing, Hail To Reason, Best Turn, and Sir Gaylord.

Turn-To died in 1973 and is buried at Green Gates Farm, which is now part of Spendthrift Farm near Lexington, Kentucky.
