A rummer engraved with the racehorse KETTLEDRUM

The racehorse depicted here is more than likely the 'Kettledrum' owned by Colonel Townley who won the Derby in 1861, beating the favourite, Mr Merry, by a length. In the same year he was entered for the St. Leger, which he lost by a head, and the Doncaster Cup, which he dead-heated. Unfortunately having run too many important races in a single year, he never ran again.
