Intentions Of Windsor Lad's New Owner

NOT TO RUN UNTIL ST. LEGER

(Special Air-Mall Service)

London, July 28.

I am able to state that Windsor Lad, the winner of the Derby, was yesterday sold by the Maharaja of Rajpipla to Mr. Martin H. Benson owner of the Beech House Stud at Chaveley) near" Newmarket. The price paid was £50,000. Windsor Lad was sold with all his engagements as a three and four-year-old. Present arrangements are that he will not run again until the St Leger. in which classic race he will of course run, in the name of his new owner.

The negotiations, which I carried out, were almost concluded at a very late hour on Tuesday night, The deal was finished yesterday at the "Maharaja's residence, at The Manor, Windsor. The Maharaja was anxious that the horse should remain in training with Marcus Marsh, and that Mr. Benson, who has bought primarily with a view to establishing the horse at his stud should not at any time sell him to leave the country.

The two stipulations were agreed to, so that Windsor Lad remains in the care of the young trainer, who prepared him so well for the Derby.

li

that he waived the usual formality of a veterinary certificate.

In due course a decision will be reached whether to keep him in training another year, but it is settled that he will come in due course to the Beech House Stud.

A Dream Come True The Maharaja gave 1,300 guiness for him as a yearling, his breeder being the Irishman, Mr. Dan Suli- van. His one win in three races as a two-year-old brought in £65.
