Waygood was a British Thoroughbred race horse and sire best known for winning the Irish Derby Stakes in 1923.

Waygood was bred at the Shenley Stud in Hertfordshire[1] by his owner, the London financier Walter Raphael.[2] He was sired by the American-bred St Leger Stakes winner Tracery out of Ascenseur a mare who became the female ancestor of many notable Thoroughbreds including Galatea II, Never Say Die, High Chaparral and Americain.[3] Raphael sent the colt to be trained at Newmarket, Suffolk by the former jockey Bill Halsey.[4]

Running in front of a large crowd[5] in the Irish Derby at the Curragh Waygood started at odds of 6/1 in a field of fifteen runners. He was ridden by Morny Wing and won by an official margin of four lengths, taking a first prize of £4,650.[6] Walter Raphael, donated £50 from his winnings to the Drogheda Memorial Fund, a charity which helped jockeys and trainers in "necessitous circumstances".[7] As a four-year-old, Waygood finished unplaced behind Parth in the Jubilee Handicap at Kempton Park Racecourse.[8]

At the end of his racing career, Waygood was exported to the United States, where he served as a stallion for the U.S. Army Remount Service.
