Excerpt: Sceptre (horse) - Sceptre was bred by Hugh Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster at his Eaton Stud in Cheshire. Her sire, Persimmon, had won the Epsom Derby and St. Leger in 1896 and the Eclipse Stakes and Ascot Gold Cup in 1897.

At the end of the season Morton became private trainer to Jack Joel and Sievier decided to train his own horses at a yard at Shrewton in Wiltshire which he leased from John Porter. Staggeringly by modern standards, Sceptre began her season in the Lincolnshire Handicap with Sievier backing her to win 30,000. She carried 6 stone 7 pounds but was beaten by a head. She then went to Newmarket and won both the 2,000 Guineas, in a then record time of 1 minute 39 seconds and then two days later 1,000 ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=15009334We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
