234 MEMORIES OF MEN AND HORSES 



is a daughter of the late James Waugh, whose sons 

 have all gained distinction as trainers. 



The eldest of them in England is W. Waugh, who 

 until recently trained at Kingsclere with much success, 

 but before that had charge of the late Sir Blundell 

 Maple's horses at Falmouth House, in succession to 

 Percy Peck. The stable was going very strong indeed 

 when Sir Blundell died, and " Willie" Waugh is no 

 doubt one of the most capable trainers in existence ; 

 but he and the whole family spent many years abroad 

 and were thus not so well known in England at first 

 as they ought to have been. The father was notable 

 here in an early day when he trained Macgregor, in 

 Kingcraft's year. "Willie" Waugh is not an optimist, 

 but he knows his job no man better. 



Dawson Waugh is a peculiarly good and conscientious 

 stableman and trainer. He developed at Kingsclere 

 under the auspices of John Porter, and at Newmarket 

 he did marvels for Mr Walter Raphael, to win a One 

 Thousand Guineas and Derby with Tagalie, only just 

 miss a Derby with Louvain, and win a Two Thousand 

 Guineas with Louvois. He has a charming wife, who, 

 doubtless, encourages him to accomplish such extra- 

 ordinary successes with animals by no means in the very 

 first class. 



Tom Waugh, another brother, has trained for Sir 

 Robert Jardine for many years, and Cinna, winner of 

 the One Thousand Guineas and other good races, was 

 a recent example of success. Charles Waugh has also 

 done great things, and nothing greater than when he 

 won the Cambridgeshire with Marcovil, who was believed 

 to be beyond the capacity of any trainer to get another 

 race out of him.
