@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, June 28, 1965 'Meadow Court' Takes Irish Derby Laurels DUBLIN. (CP -- Meadow Court, owned by three million- aires from North America, was being hailed today as British three-year-old of the year after winning the Irish Derby here Saturday. And Calgary publisher Max Bell, Vancouver oil executive Frank McMahon and American singer Bing Crosby were in happy mood because their choice in horseflesh had come through nobly for them. Meadow Court, the 11-to-10 betting favorite, won $166,900 first-prize money by covering the rain-soggy 1%-mile course in two minutes, 46 4-5 seconds, beating runner-up Convamore by two lengths. Wedding Pres- ent was third in the field of 21 three-year-olds. British racing writers today praised Meadow Court, which earlier had placed second to France's Sea Bird I in the ownership since he was a two- year-old." "Really?" said Andrews. "I thought it only happened Fri- day." ; "No," said Bing. 'That was an error." OWNERS ELATED Bell, McMahon and Crosby all expressed elation about the fine showing of Meadow Court in the Irish Derby, on which the second Irish hospital sweep- stakes of 1965 was based. Bell, in an interview after the race, told about the sharing of ownership which had caught the racing world by surprise. "Frank McMahon is a_busi- ness associate of mine and Bing Crosby is a friend I've always wanted to. bring back into rac- ing as an owner," Bell said. "When Bing sold his Ameri- can string: some years ago, I promised him that if ever I had a horse likely to do well Derby at Epsom. Tim Fitzgeorge - Parkers, in| the London Daily Mail, put it this way: j | "Meadow Court must hailed as British horse of the} year and the likely winner if he clashes with Reliance II in the) St. Legér at Doncaster on Sept. Reliance won the Grand Prix! -ontiemen's agreement to sharel de Paris Sunday. ASCOT IS. NEXT Paddy Prendergast, Irish trainer of Meadow Court, said the colt's next race will be King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in mid-July. A decision about the St. Leger will be made after the Ascot race. Bell, the man who originally spotted Meadow Court as a likely champion, said the colt will be entered in the Washing- ton, D.C., International, sched- uled for Nov. 11 at Laurel, Md. Bell became owner when Meadow Court was a yearling, trainer Prendergast paying out 3,000 guineas ($9,450) of Bell's money. Saturday morning it was) made known for the first time! that Bell is not sole owner. A} three-way partnership--of Bell, | McMahon and Crosby--was reg-| istered with the Irish Turf Club. The press and public jumped) at once to the conclusion that' the broadening of the owner-) ship to include these two old| friends of Bell's had taken place) just before the race, but later remarks by Crosby seemed to indicate otherwise. Bing appeared on a British) television program Sunday! night and interrupted anchor) man Eamonn Andrews when the latter was telling the audi- ence that the singer had bought his interest Friday evening. I would let him in on a share. "Last year I told him about this promising two-year-old I had 'in Ireland and Bing ex- e pressed the wish to buy a share. The arrangement was. finalized less than 2 hours before the Derby was off." In the light of Crosby's TV statement, it is possible a later the ownership existed for some months before being made for- mal. Speculation was rife as to how much Crosby and McMahon paid for their shares. Guesses ranged as high as 40,000 pds. ($120,000). GETS MONEY BACK Crosby, who described the price as "top secret," did. say that he got his money back Sat- one-third of the purse was $55,- 650 or less (the jockey's 10 per' cent and certain other expenses) presumably would be de- ducted, Bing had completed a profitable deal. After his Saturday victory, Meadow Court's value soared to an estimated £200,000 ($600,000 or more, And if he beats the four-year-olds at Ascot, the colt's value will be at least 1,300,000 ($900,000), in addition to £30,000 in Ascot winnings. But Bing was taking it all in stride. : | | OPTOMETRIST 14) King St. East | 723-2721 IBAD BOY perinitety S$ Yeor Guorontee made by Beatty. Free food plan. Free delivery, PRICED FROM SELLS FOR LESS!
