Galtee More, bought by the Russian government for £21,000, 1898. 'Large sums are often paid for racehorses of proved merit, but such a sum as that paid by the Russian Government for Mr. Gubbins's Galtee More, who won many big races, is a long way out of the ordinary run. The Russian gentleman, M. Dorojynski, who came over here to buy a high-class racer, saw many of the English cracks...but directly his eyes rested on Galtee More he would have none of the others, holding that they all sank into insignificance beside the son of Kendal...Galtee More is by Kendal out of Morganette, and was bred by his late owner in Ireland...Altogether, Galtee More contested thirteen races, winning eleven of them, the total value of the races being £27,019.' Galtee More, born in 1894, went on to have a successful stud career in Russia and Germany. He died following an accident in 1917. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
