WINNERS IN ENGLAND

LORD GLANELY'S SUCCESS

Two surprise results in big events] decided during the past week in England were the successes of Earthstopper in the Prince Edward Handicap at the Manchester September meeting, and of Chumleigh in the St. Leger" Stakes at Doncaster. In both instances the wiener had had no form in _ the preceding season to recommend him. Last year's winner of the Prince Edward Handicap was Winter Worker, a bay colt by Winter King from Landworker, by Merrythought, but unlike this year's successful candidate, he had won a race previously, the King Coal Handicap, a two-mile event, at Manchester in the preceding June. Winter King was freely considered to be only a moderate, yet he registered a runaway victory, scoring by six lengths from Apple Peel, with Plunger third. History repeated itself, however, where Chumleigh and the St. Leger Stakes were concerned, for the 1936 winner. Boswell, had likewise failed io open his winning account as t a two-year-old. A son of Bosworth from Flying Gal 11, Boswell beat the Fdxlaw colt Fearless Fox and the grey son of Blenheim, Mahmoud, on that occasion. Both Winter. King and Boswell were owned by commoners, whereas this year's winners, Earthstopper and Chumleigh, are owned by two members of the nobility, Sir. Abe Bailey and Lord Glanely, respectively. At the Manchester Meeting of twelve months ago, Sir Abe Bailey won the Breeders' Foal Plate with a filly by Fairway—Ciliate, by Cicero. It was her first appearance in public, and she was unnamed at the time of her debut This filly was bred by the L>uke of .Westminster, and was purchased by Sir Abe Bailey at the Newmarket Sales tor 3200 guineas. The same afternoon Lord Glanely also led in a winner, his filly Path of Peace leading the field home in the Nursery Plate. Path of Peace is a daughter of Grand Parade, a sire who was represented on the Dominion Turf by Grand Knight, who carried the colours of the late Mr. Vivian Riddiford during his racing career. Later, the son of the Orby horse did duty at the stud, and among his progeny are Sir Simper, Gay Marigold. Grand Joy, Clangor, Grand Score, \Bold Baron, Hawora, Irish Lady, Sir Nigel, etc. . Although Grand Knight is now defunct, a half-brother, Lackham (by Roi Herode), is another member of the No. 5 family who'is still with us. Lord Glanely, the owner of Chumleigh, the winner of the 1937 St. Leger Stakes, won the classic in 1930 with Singapore, the sire of Chumleigh, who was by Gainsborough from The Tet-rarch—-Abbazia mare Tetrabbazia. It was the first occasion on which the Welsh shipping magnate had won the St. Leger, but earlier he had figured as the owner of a Derby winner, Grand Parade having carried his colours to victory in 1919, in which year Lord Glanely headed the list of winning owners in England with stake-winnings aggregating over £30,000. Captain Hogg, private trainer to Lord Glarfely, is a fully-qualified veterinary surgeon, and is stated to be one of the cleverest trainers in the Homeland.
