Racing, Mr W Nightingall with Mr C A McVittie (b/w photo)

Racing, Mr W Nightingall with Mr C A McVittie. W Nightingall, the well known Epson trainer, is shown with Mr C A McVittie, who trains at Lambourn. Mr Nightingall had 64 horses in training at South Hatch, Epsom, during 1936. His patrons include Lady Houston, Hon D Paget, Mrs C Rich, Mrs F O Bezner, Sir Mathew Wilson, Col F P Halse and Mr G F X Hartigan. It is interesting to note that Mr Nightingall invariably saddles a winner on Saturdays, and the advice "follow Nightingall on this day" is given by many racing folk. His best year was in 1932 with 26 horses trained by him won 51 races. Illustration for Photocard issued by Ardath Tobacco in c.1936.
