Lord Clifden (GB) x Consequence (GB), by Bay Middleton (GB)
Family 15
One of several sons of 1863 St. Leger Stakes winner and 1876 English champion sire Lord Clifden to have some importance in the Americas, Buckden was imported to the United States as a yearling and proved a useful racehorse. Following his racing career, he became a popular stallion in Kentucky and was noted for imparting speed to his progeny prior to his death at the age of 13. His Kentucky Derby-winning son Buchanan showed promise as a stallion but likewise died young, effectively ending any hopes that Buckden might establish a lasting male line.

Connections
Bred by Captain Frederick Thompson, Buckden was imported in late 1870 by William Travers. He initially raced as the property of John Hunter and Travers. By October 1872, he was racing in the colors of M. J. Tully, with a Mr. Buckley becoming a partner in the horse shortly afterward. Following his racing career, Buckden was sold to Captain William Cottrill, who stood the horse at Colonel James Guest's Magnolia Stock Farm near Danville, Kentucky. Buckden died in 1882.
Pedigree notes
Buckden is inbred 5x3 to 1827 Doncaster Cup winner Mulatto and 5x5 to the useful English sire Cervantes, best known as the broodmare sire of two-time English champion sire Melbourne. He was produced from Consequence, whose sire Bay Middleton won the 1836 Two Thousand Guineas and Derby Stakes and was a two-time English champion sire. Consequence, in turn, was produced from Result (by Mulatto), whose dam Problem was sired by Euclid from the Cervantes mare Parthenessa.
