All the horses listed above were owned (at least for sometime)
by Sir George and Lady Bullough.
Ownership and history was established
by the author's reference to his personal library of relevant annual editions of-
The Bloodstock Breeders' Review
edited and published by The British Bloodstock Agency, Ltd.,
Charing Cross Road, London, W.C. 2.
The Racing Calendar - Races Past
published for the Jockey Club by Weatherby and Sons, Cavendish Square, London.
which lists the horse's owner for each race, purchase or sale.
Sporting Chronicle Racing Up-to-Date
published by Sporting Chronicle, London and Manchester.
In a few instances there is no record of a change of ownership, it is reasonably assumed these were private sales and not through a bloodstock market.
Such a change being ascertained by racing history ownership.
