Mr. J. W. Larnach, 1911. Creator: Unknown
Mr. J.W. Larnach, 1911. Portrait of racehorse owner James Larnach who in 1894 bought the mare Pilgrimage, winner of the 1000 and 2000 Guineas in 1878, for 160 guineas, believing her to be barren. It was a great surprise when the 19-year-old mare gave birth the following Spring to a colt foal by Janissary, which Larnach named Jeddah. In 1898 Jeddah became the first horse to win The Derby at odds of 100/1. He went on to win the Prince of Waless Stakes at Royal Ascot. From " British Sports and Sportsmen: Racing Coursing and Steeplechasing", Part II, edited by William Scarth Dixon. [1911]
