The beholder is a fictional monster in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Its appearance is that of a floating orb of flesh with a large mouth, single central eye, and many smaller eyestalks on top with deadly magical powers.
The Beholder is among the most classic of all Dungeons & Dragons monsters, appearing in every edition of the game since 1975. Different breeds of beholders have different magic abilities. Beholders are one of the few classic Dungeons & Dragons monsters that Wizards of the Coast claims as Product Identity.
Beholder (foaled May 9, 2010) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. She was purchased as a yearling by B. Wayne Hughes of Spendthrift Farm. With an early reputation for being difficult to handle, trainer Richard Mandella worked extensively with the fractious young horse, gradually developing her from a temperamental front-runner into a seasoned veteran who could be placed in a strategic position to best beat her competition.
As a two-year-old in 2012, she won three of her five races including the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. In the following season she won five of her seven races, including the Breeders' Cup Distaff. With the Breeders' Cup win, she became the first horse to win both the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and the Distaff in consecutive years, and concluded her three-year old season by being named American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly. After a four-year-old season plagued by injuries and illness, with a single graded stakes win in three attempts, she returned to form as a five-year-old, with multiple stakes wins and becoming the first filly or mare to win the Pacific Classic and was voted American Champion Older Dirt Female Horse. In doing so, she became the first horse since 1976, male or female, to win Grade 1 stakes races at age 2, 3, 4 and 5. In 2016, she extended this achievement by winning the Grade 1 Vanity Stakes, and in doing so she tied the record of John Henry of winning a Grade I race for five years in a row
