Bend
Or. Family 1-n.
Bred
at Mentomore by Archibald Philip Primrose (1847-1929), 5th Earl Rosebery and Prime
Minister of England, Chelandry was a half sister to the Two Thousand
Guineas and Derby Stakes winner Ladas (b c 1891 Hampton).
Ulbrich
describes her as "a sweet tempered mare" who was held in both affection
and regard by those who knew her. Leicester calls her "one of the great
tap roots of modern bloodstock the world over." In the stud she
produced sixteen consecutive foals, among them the Two Thousand Guineas
winner Neil Gow (ch c 1907
Marco), the July Stakes winner Traquair (ch c 1904 Ayrshire), the
Cheveley Park Stakes winner Skyscraper (ch f 1900 Ayrshire), and the Molecomb
Stakes winner Perdiccas (ch c 1906 Persimmon) who was later sent to
Russia.
Chelandry died in
1917. She heads her own branch of
Family
1, tracing to Tregonwell's Natural Barb Mare.
