Omar Khayyam was bred in England by Sir John Robinson 

 and J. T. Farr and was purchased by his present trainer, Charles 

 T. Patterson for C. K. G. Billings and Frederick Johnson at 

 Newmarket, September 15, 1915, for $1,500. Omar Khayyam's 

 sire Marco won the Cambridgeshire, etc., and is the sire of Neil 

 Gow, Beppo, Marcovil, Malua, Bembo, Mirador, Sansovino, and 

 other good horses. 



Omar Khayyam, named for the great Persian poet and as- 

 tronomer, is the first foreign-bred colt to win a Kentucky Derby. 

 His owners are Frederick Johnson, a broker, in New York and 

 C. K. G. Billings, owner of the famous trotters Uhlan, Lou 

 Dillon and Major Delmar and it is his second season as a 

 thoroughbred owner. Mr. Johnson saw his colt win but Mr. 

 Billings was unable to enjoy seeing the victory. 



Trainer C. T. Patterson said before the race : "I never 

 trained a 'horse in which I had more confidence than Omar 

 Khayyam, and I handled Hamburg and Ornament."
