"He was the Frankel of his day, winning 36 races from 1814 to 1823 and becoming one of the most famous racehorses in British history.
Now archaeologists may have discovered the skeleton of the legendary 19th century stallion Doctors Syntax.
The bones were uncovered during the excavation of the former royal stables of Palace House, one of the homes of King Charles II, in Newmarket, Suffolk.
The skeleton is almost completely intact and measures the same height as the horse, 15 hands.
Doctor Syntax was put down in 1838 but his exact resting place was never known."
