The Strange Career Of Derby Winner
Bought For A Song
WINS BIG STAKES FOR OWNER IN BLUE RIBAND OF RACING
Mr. Sidney McGregor, who carries on the' business of herse dealing established by his father at Leamington, was happily' in- spired when he went into Messrs. Tattersall's yard at Knights- bridge seven years ago and purchased the young mare, Sold Again, for 230 guiness.
Although he had never seen her, before, he liked the way she was built, and he liked her pedigree. A mare standing just over sixteen hands, she showed plenty of quality, and it occurred to Mr. McGregor that she might make a jumper, and eventually breed some good staying foals.
Earlier in her carcer Sold. Again had displayed such poor form when carrying the colours of her breeder, Lord Ellesmere, that he gave her to his trainer, the late Mr. Sam Pickering. Some months afterwards the filly went up to the December sales at Newmarket, and was knocked down for 20 guineas.
A year or two elapsed before Mr. McGregor bought her, and now she has become famous as the dam of April the Fifth.
