The Stewards:

James Boyle-Carr, Viscount Kelburne, (d.1869), later 5th Earl of Glasgow was the second son of George, 4th Earl of Glasgow (d.1843) and his wife Augusta (d.1822), daughter of James, 15th Earl of Erroll (d.1778). He married Georgina Ann (d.1895), daughter of Edward Hay Mackenzie Esq., of New Hall and Cromarty. He had assumed the additional name of Carr on the death of his mother in 1822. She was the granddaughter and heiress of Sir William Carr of Etal, Northumberland.

The Honourable Colonel William Pepper Arden (d.1857), later 3rd and last Baron Alvanley, was the son of Richard Pepper, 1st Baron Arden (d.1804) and his wife Anne-Dorothea (d.1825), eldest daughter of Richard Wilbraham Bootle Esq. He married Arabella, daughter of William, 1st Duke of Cleveland (d.1842) in 1831, however the marriage was childless and on his death in 1857 the title became extinct.

The race was won by Medoro by Levantes out of Marianne by Sorcerer, a bay colt foaled in 1824. He had also won the Richmond Cup the year before (see lot 18) and no less than four races in 1827, two races in 1828 and 3½ in 1829 (The Doncaster Stakes in 1829 had been a dead heat). He retired to stud and lived to 19 years of age when he was destroyed, having broken his thigh bone.
