Catalogue Note
The inscription refers to the bay gelding Ballymacad by Laveno out of Ballymacarney, owned by Sir George Bullough and trained by the Hon. Aubrey Hastings, which was ridden the jockey Edmund Driscoll to win the War National of 1917. The latter was held at Gatwick as a wartime substitute for the Liverpool Grand National.
