The Baron, the winner of the Great St. Leger 1845 - drawn by Herring, 1845. Racehorse and jockey Frank Butler: '...a portrait of the winner of "the Doncaster St. Leger", drawn for this journal by Mr. J. F. Herring. "The Baron" is a dark chesnut horse, about 15 hands 3 inches high; his head is strong and bony, the forehead projects; but the nose dips and tapers; his neck is rather short, and light; shoulders fine, and withers high. He is by no means a showy horse, but is what is termed "wiry- looking." He is the property of Mr. Watts, of Jockey Hall, Kildare, by whom he was bred'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
