  • Martin Stainforth - Study for Blenheim II

    Martin Stainforth - Study for Blenheim II

    Est: $6,000 - $9,000

    Martin Stainforth (British, 1866–1957) STUDY FOR BLENHEIM II $6,000. – $9,000. Watercolor, 8 1⁄2” x 10 1⁄4” Signed, inscribed, details en verso $6,000. – 9,000. Blenheim was bred by Henry Herbert, the Earl of Carnarvon and was sold as a yearling for 4,100 guineas to the Aga Khan. He was put into training with Richard “Dick” Dawson, who had trained both Blenheim’s sire and dam. He won four of his seven starts as a 2-year-old. His 3-year-old season was a bit slow to start, and he didn’t perform well until his win in the Epsom Derby as an 18-to-1 longshot. While preparing for the Eclipse Stakes, he suffered an injury and was immediately retired to stud. Blenheim entered stud at the Aga Khan’s Haras Marly-La- Ville in France. His second crop produced Mahmoud for the Aga Khan, who went on to win the Epsom Derby in 1936, setting a new stakes record. That same year he was purchased by a syndicate that included Claiborne Farm, Calumet Farm, Greentree Farm, and others, and was exported to the United States. He became known as Blenheim II and was the sire of Whirlaway, winner of the 1941 Triple Crown, as well as 1947 Kentucky Derby winner Jet Pilot. He produced both English and American classic winners. He is buried at Claiborne Farm. Mahmoud followed in his father’s footsteps as a winner of the Epsom Derby. He would also become an influential sire. Bought from the Aga Khan by C.V. Whitney for 20,000 guineas, he sired 70 stakes winners after he was imported to America. Most notably (at least for this collection) he was the damsire of Natalma, the dam of Northern Dancer (lot 38).

    Martin Stainforth - Comedy King

    Est: $6,000 - $9,000

    Martin Stainforth (British, 1866–1957) COMEDY KING $6,000. – $9,000. Oil on canvas, 13 1⁄2” x 15 1⁄2” Signed, inscribed, dated 11-19 $6,000. – 9,000. Illustrated: Racehorses in Australia, Art in Australia Ltd., 1922, page 93 Another grandson of St. Simon who played an influential role in Australia was the import Comedy King. Brought from England in 1907 as a foal by Sol Green, the Australian horseman and bookmaker, Comedy King was the winner of eight races, including the Melbourne Cup (which he won at 10-to-1, beating the favorite, Trafalgar, by a nose) and was the first imported horse to do so. As a stallion he was equally, if not more, successful. He stood at Noorlim Stud, whose, according to Racehorses in Australia, “rich and highly improved paddocks shelter the best collection of mares owned by any one man in Australia. Here, too, is that most horse Comedy King (imp.), a splendid son of Persimmon, and one of the outstanding stud successes of today. He is a most versatile sire, producing as he does sprinters, stayers, Cup and Grand National winners.” He is remembered for siring two other Melbourne Cup winners, Artilleryman and Ingoda, who won the race in 1920 and 1922, respectively. He was also a great broodmare sire, with extended progeny such as Australian Racing Hall of fame horse Comic Court and Carbon Copy, who in 1949 became the highest-winning 3-year-old in Australian history, a record he held for a decade.

    Martin Stainforth - Maltser

    Est: $6,000 - $9,000

    Martin Stainforth (British, 1866–1957) MALTSTER $6,000. – $9,000. Oil on canvas, 16” x 20” Signed $6,000. – 9,000. Illustrated: Racehorses in Australia, Art in Australia Ltd., 1922, page 68 The Persimmon and Bill of Portland Lines While St. Simon was undoubtedly an influential sire in Great Britain, his presence was monumental on other continents as well. In Australia, the importation of his sons profoundly impacted the quality of bloodstock there. In a 1922 essay by Dr. W. H. Lang included in Racehorses in Australia, he writes that “no newly imported sire seemed to have a chance of success [in Australia] unless he were imbued with that … St. Simon strain. The effect is still in the strongest evidence today.” Two of St. Simon’s sons, Bill of Portland (named for St. Simon’s owner, William Cavendish-Bentinck, the sixth Duke of Portland) and Persimmon (lot 41) were successful sires in their own right and portraits of two of their sons are featured in this catalogue. Maltster was by Bill of Portland, the imported son of St. Simon and out of Barley, a daughter of Lonely (lot 29). Comedy King (lot 31) was by Persimmon and imported to Australia as a foal with his dam. Maltster won both the Australian Jockey Club Derby at Randwick and Victoria Racing Club Derby at Flemington and finished second in the Melbourne Cup. Maltster was leading sire in Australia five times, and his progeny won £290,358, not a small sum for the first decade of the 20th century. Notable offspring include Malt King, two-time winner of both the All Aged Stakes and Rawson Stakes; and Alawa, winner of the VRC Derby, two-time winner of the Eclipse Stakes, and three-time winner of the CB Fisher plate. The impact of this grandson of St. Simon is still present in Australian racing.

Provenance: Gladys Mills (Henry Carnegie) Phipps Illustrated: John Hervey, Racing in America, 1922–1936, New York: _e Jockey Club, 1937, plate facing page 128 Bred by Whitney Stud, Diavolo was owned by Gladys Mills Phipps and Ogden Mills’ Wheatley Stable. Trained by the legendary Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, Diavolo added to Mrs. Phipps’ legacy as “first lady of the Turf.” Not showing much as a 2- or 3-year-old, he managed to finish third in the Belmont Stakes before coming to hand as a 4-year-old. _e champion handicap horse of 1929, in 11 races he won eight, was second in two of the others, and third in the remaining one. As John Hervey noted on page 128 of Racing in America, “Among the all-aged and handicap horses of the season, Diavolo stood out in bold relief…As a distance horse he loomed a whale among minnows, taking the three great cups, Saratoga, Jockey Club, and Pimlico.” Standing at Claiborne Stud, Diavolo sired 23 winners among his first 28 foals and his first three crops won 44 races.

    Martin Stainforth - Challenger II

    Est: $8,000 - $10,000

    Martin Stainforth (British, 1866-1957) CHALLENGER II $8,000. – 10,000. Oil on canvas, 25 1⁄2” x 30” Signed, dated 1940, inscribed $8,000. – 10,000. Bred at the National Stud in County Kildare, Ireland, Challenger II won two races in two starts as a 2-year-old when in training under Fred Darling. He never raced at age 3, and after the death of his owner, he was sold and shipped to America, where he didn’t show much on the track. Despite a less-than-stellar career on the turf, Challenger II made an excellent mark at stud in the U.S. He led the general sires list in 1939 and was in the top 10 eight other years, including runner-up in 1945. He sired 223 winners and 34 stakes winners from 316 named foals, according to _e Jockey Club. As John Hervey noted in Racing in America, the Great Depression had caused horse prices to drop substantially and on page 141 he says, “As for importations of foreign animals, the cessation became almost complete. During the period now under consideration, the stallions of real consequence that were brought in may be said to have been limited to Bull Dog and Challenger 2d, in 1930.” Challedon was the most prominent of his progeny. _e American Horse of the Year in 1939 and 1940, Challedon won the 1939 Preakness Stakes, both the 1939 and 1940 Pimlico Specials, and the 1940 Hollywood Gold Cup. Challedon was elected to the United States Racing Hall of Fame in 1977, and _e Blood-Horse named him No. 38 of the book Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century. Gallorette was another one of Challenger II’s to make her mark. _e winner of the 1945 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and the 1946 Brooklyn and Metropolitan handicaps among other races, she was voted the 1946 American champion older female horse. Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1962, Gallorette ranks No. 45 in Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century and the No. 3 female. Challenger II’s other progeny include Bridal Flower (voted 1946 American champion 3-year-old filly) and Pictor.

The publication of Racehorses in Australia with Paintings by Martin Stainforth cemented his place as an equine artist, and the publication remains an important reference work today. Returning to England in 1930, he was commissioned to do many notable portraits including Hyperion for the 17th Earl of Derby and also works for King George V. Stainforth spent some time in America, and was commissioned to paint War Admiral, Sir Archy, and Man o' War among others.
