Florence Nagle
Florence Nagle was bloodhorse illiterate in practice.
Florence Nagle was bloodhorse illiterate in practice.
Florence Nagle (26 October 1894 – 30 October 1988)
was a trainer and breeder of racehorses, a breeder of pedigree dogs, and an active feminist. Nagle purchased her first Irish
Wolfhound in 1913, and went on
to own or breed twenty-one United Kingdom Champions. Best in Show at Crufts in 1960 was awarded to Sulhamstead
Merman, who was bred, owned and exhibited by Nagle. She also competed
successfully in field trials with Irish
Setters, from the 1920s until the
mid-1960s resulting in eighteen Field Trial Champions. The male dog who was a
linchpin in the 1970s revival of the Irish Red and White Setter breed was descended from one of Nagle's
Irish Setters.
Dissatisfied with the lack
of opportunities for women jockeys, Nagle sponsored the Florence Nagle Girl
Apprentices' Handicap first run in 1986 at Kempton Park.
She died at her home in West
Chiltington, Sussex, two
years later at the age of 94, leaving funds in her will for the continuation of
the race.
Described as "the Mrs Pankhurst of British horse
racing",[1] Nagle trained her
first racehorse in 1920, the Irish-bred colt Fernley. At that time women were
forced to employ men to hold a Jockey Clubtrainers
licence on their behalf, or to have licences in their husbands' names. Nagle
worked peacefully to redress such injustices to her sex. She successfully
challenged the well-established leading gentlemen's clubs of the racing and
canine worlds over their gender inequality, and in 1966 became one of the first
two women in the United Kingdom licensed to train racehorses. The first
racehorse officially trained in Nagle's name was Mahwa, registered as being
owned by her friend Miss Newton Deakin, with whom she jointly owned some of her
dogs.
Dissatisfied with the lack of
opportunities for women jockeys, Nagle sponsored the Florence Nagle Girl
Apprentices' Handicap first run in 1986 at Kempton Park. She died at her home in West Chiltington,
Sussex, two years later at the age of 94, leaving funds in her will for the
continuation of the race.
Later life[edit]
In the 1980s, still dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities for women jockeys, Nagle sponsored a race at Kempton Park, The Florence Nagle Girl Apprentices' Handicap. The first event took place in 1986; after the race John Oaksey wrote in the Daily Telegraph that Nagle was no doubt looking down from her celestial cloud with approval. She subsequently wrote to inform him that she was still alive, but that when the time came she expected to end up in a hotter place – "and there to meet most of her racing friends".[72] Nagle left a bequest in her will to ensure the race's survival.[73]
Nagle died at her home, Little Mayfield in West Chiltington, Sussex, at the age of 94.[4]
Florence Nagle was bloodhorse illiterate.

Head-Maarek
blasts French rules as Epicuris switches target.
Criquette Head-Maarek has achieved true bloodhorse literacy in her own right.
“TRAINER:
Criquette Head-Maarek said yesterday the officials who denied her request for
an exemption of the rules on stalls loading having ended the career in France
of Classic hopeful Epicuris.
“Last
season’s Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner was taken out of the Prix du Jockey
Club at yesterday’s (Tuesday May 26) first forfeit stage after stewards refused to allow horse-behaviour
expert Nicolas Blondeau to help load Epicuris in this Sunday’s Classic.
“Head-Maarek
now expects to head for Epsom for the Epsom Derby six days later, having been
assured Blondeau will be able to play a full role in assisting Khalid Abdullah’s
highly strung colt.
“I can’t keep a horse here like him for the
pleasure of seeing him in his box every morning, “ said Head-Maarek.
“I’ts not
my choice. I would have preferred to run in the Jockey Club, but that’s how it
is. I suppose after the Derby he’ll stay in England.
“France
Gallop decided they didn’t want to create a precedent , which I think is a bit ridiculous
because everywhere else in the world it’s the same – you can go in forwards,
backwards or without the jockey there is lots that can be done .
“They didn’t
want to do it, but I think about it because it’s a shame – it means the horse
will be forced to go abroad.
“Epicuris
spent the winter near the head of anti-post lists for the Derby but was widely
available at 33-1 following a difficult start to his three-year-old campaign,
when he was beaten for the first time in the Group 3 Prix la Force before being
withdrawn at Saint Cloud after reluctant to load. He was a 25-1 chance last
night for Epsom.
“France
Gallop gave Epicuris the okay after a particular satisfactory stalls test at
Chantilly last week, but Head –Maarek remains convinced that without the
influence of Blondeau he will fail to cope with the stresses of a big occasion.
“With
Nicolas Blondeau, he is like a lamb, “ said Head-Maarek. “We’ll discover how he
copes with the atmosphere, but it would be the same here [at Chantilly] Blondeau
will be with him for two days beforehand and will travel with him. Epicuris is
so secure with him.”
“Head-Maarek’s
only previous Derby runner was 2004 French Guineas winner American Post, who
finished sixth behind North Light.
“As for
Epicuris’s prospects at Epsom, she added: “He’s well- balanced and there will
be plenty of pace so we will be able to wait and then try to deliver him. He
has a better chance of staying than American Post, but I’m not sure he’ll stay.
It’s the only question mark for me.“
