BUTTERS FAMILY There Were 4 Brothers Who Attended
BUTTERS FAMILY There were 4 brothers who attended Framlingham between 1888 and 1905 and a couple of them were very prominent racehorse trainers. JOSEPH ARTHUR “FRANK” BUTTERS (1888-95) Frank Butters was Champion Trainer 8 times between 1927 and 1949. In addition to training the winners of 15 Classics in England he also trained Irish Derby winners Turkhan, Nathoo and Hindostan and Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe winner Migoli for the Aga Khan III. Frank Butters was born in Austria, where his father Joseph rode and trained, and became a successful trainer there himself. During the 1914-18 war he was nominally interned, then trained in Italy before being given a 4 year contract as private trainer to the 17th Earl of Derby at Stanley House, Newmarket, becoming leading trainer in his first year there, 1927. When Lord Derby withdrew from racing for economic reasons, Butters leased the Fitzroy Stables in Newmarket as a public trainer. Here he trained for Mr A W Gordon and, later, the Aga Khan III and the 5th Earl of Durham. He considered Bahram to be the best horse he ever trained. Important successes: 2000 Guineas 1000 Guineas Derby Bahram 1935 (T) Fair Isle 1930 (T) Bahram 1935 (T) Mahmoud 1936 (T) Oaks St Leger Other major race(s) Beam 1927 (T) Fairway 1928 (T) (featuring horses in this database) Toboggan 1928 (T) Firdaussi 1932 (T) Princess of Wales's Stakes Colorado 1927 (T) Udaipur 1932 (T) Bahram 1935 (T) Eclipse Stakes Colorado 1927 (T) Light Brocade 1934 (T) Turkhan 1940 (T) Eclipse Stakes Fairway 1928 (T) Steady Aim 1946 (T) Tehran 1944 (T) Champion Stakes Fairway 1928 (T) Masaka 1948 (T) Champion Stakes Fairway 1929 (T) Champion Stakes Umidwar 1934 (T) Jockey Club Stakes Umidwar 1934 (T) Dewhurst Stakes, Newmarket Bala Hissar 1935 (T) LTCOLONEL JAMES WAUGH BUTTERS OBE (1889-1904) Unlike Frank, he doesn’t appear to have been involved at all in horse racing.

The three-year-old’s victory caused something of an upset when he narrowly beat Puerto Escondido (Hurricane Cat), as the colt was the outsider in the race and still a maiden to boot. His trainer Alfredo Gaitan Daissie had plenty to celebrate yesterday, as not Sixties Song powers home in the Gr.1 Gran Premio Carlos only did he win the Carlos Pellegrini, but he collected the other Pellegrini to give Sixties Icon his first winner at the highest two Gr.1s on the Hipodromo de San Isidro card. Earlier Nashville level Texan (Forestry) had taken the Gr.1 Gran Premio Felix de Alzaga Unzue and he was followed by Le Ken (Easing Along), who landed the Gr.1 Gran Premio Joaquín S de Anchorena before This time the bay colt was held up towards the rear of the field Sixties Song completed the hat-trick. and still had plenty to do in the straight. Set alight in the last “It was a dream come true. We knew at the beginning of the day quarter of a mile, he accelerated rapidly to beat Puerto Escondido that we had good horses in the races, but you never think about close home by a short neck, with half a length back to Going Past winning all of them.

CHARLES “Charlie” R W R WAUGH (1882-85) He trained in Austria and Germany, hence his house and son were called after Carlburg! He assisted his brother Richard, but had few successes in racing, because he didn’t get many good horses to train.

Monte Carlo Where She Was Buried by the Side of Her Baby Son, Mahdi Mohammed
Monte Carlo where she was buried by the side of her baby son, Mahdi Mohammed. Most of her considerable fortune went to Aly who became the owner of the villa at Cimiez, the house in Deauville, the Paris residence in the rue de Prony and the country place at Maisons Lafitte. All this meant little to the boy and could not com pensate him for the loss of a dearly-loved mother. He never men tioned her again, evidence—as every psychologist knows—that his pain was so great, he could not bear to recall it to his mind. Back in England and with the Waddingtons, Aly plunged into ever more phrenetic activities. He spent more and more time with his father's horses. From Michael Beary, the stable's leading jockey, he learned enough tricks of the trade to qualify as a first-class amateur rider. By the time he was old enough to ride to hounds, the Waddingtons eased him into the exclusive strongholds of English fox-hunting. In Sussex and Warwickshire where the best hunts pursued the finest foxes, houses were rented for the personable youngster with the swarthy skin and the slim, athletic figure. Aly entertained generously, was greatly admired for his horsemanship and not out of his teens when the County girls began to cast covetous eyes in his direction. When he was eighteen he was installed in a house in London where the season's debutantes welcomed the exotic newcomer to the social scene. Prince Aly attended royal garden parties and missed few of the non-stop coming-out balls.

CULTURE Horseracing and the British
huggins cvr 8/14/03 12:10 PM Page 1 STUDIES IN POPULAR CULTURE STUDIES IN STUDIES IN ‘This book reveals some major findings, not least about the part that POPULAR POPULAR CULTURE Horseracing racing and betting played in the lives of women, and the sport’s CULTURE inherent conservatism. It is genuinely British in its approach and uses a HUGGINS wide range of primary and secondary sources from across the nation to bring out local and regional variations.’ and the British Wray Vamplew, University of Stirling ROM THE PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR of Flat Racing and British Society F 1780–1914, this is the first book to provide a detailed consideration of the 1919–1939 history of racing in British culture and society and to explore the cultural world of racing during the interwar years. MIKE HUGGINS It breaks new ground by showing how racing’s pleasures were enjoyed even by Horseracing andtheBritish the supposedly respectable middle classes, and gave some working-class groups hope and consolation during economically difficult times. Regular attendance and increased spending on betting were found across class and generation, and women too were keen participants. Enjoyed by the Royal Family and controlled by the Jockey Club and National Hunt Committee, racing’s visible emphasis on rank and status helped defend hierarchy and gentlemanly amateurism, and provided support for more conservative British attitudes. The mass media provided a cumulative cultural validation of racing, helping define national and regional identity, and encouraging the affluent consumption of sporting experience and frank enjoyment of betting. The broader cultural approach of the first half of the book is followed by an exploration of the internal culture of racing itself: the racecourse and course life, trainers and jockeys such as Steve Donoghue or Gordon Richards, trainers like Fred Darling or the Honourable George Lambton, owners and breeders such as the Aga Khan, Lord Rosebery or the actor Tom Walls.
