Goodwood Races: Tim Whiffler, the winner of the Goodwood Cup, 1862. Creator: H. Hall
Goodwood Races: Tim Whiffler, the winner of the Goodwood Cup, 1862. The early career of this celebrated colt, who is quite the three-year-old of 1862, and would have ruined the St. Leger betting if he had been entered, was not very prosperous, as he ran eleven times, and only won a Juvenile Handicap of £116 at Stockton. He is half- brother to Oldminster, and by Van Galen (a son of Van Tromp), who belonged to his breeder, Mr. Fobert, the celebrated Middleham trainer. Tim was exchanged when a yearling for Homeward Bound, and his sire, who never became fashionable, was sold to the landlord of a little village inn in Wensleydale. His Chester Cup victory, under 6st. 11lb. was an exceedingly clever one, but "The Squire of Oran" had no idea of his being idle under his honours, as he ran twice and won twice at Malton, before the month was out. In June he was beaten a head by Ivanhoff at 18lb. for the Manchester Trades Cup; but the next week found him as fresh as ever, and defeating Carbineer by the same distance, and at 1lb. worse terms for her Majesty's Gold Vase and £200 at Ascot. Unfortunately for Lord William Powlett, who purchased him for, as rumour has it, £2500, he was not in the Ascot Cup'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the triumphant moment of Tim Whiffler, the victor of the prestigious Goodwood Cup in 1862. The image, skillfully captured by H. Hall, immortalizes a pivotal moment in the horse racing history. Tim Whiffler, a three-year-old colt, had an unremarkable start to his career, with only one win under his belt before the Goodwood Cup. His lineage was impressive, however, as he was a half-brother to Oldminster and a descendant of Van Galen, a son of Van Tromp. Despite a modest beginning, Tim Whiffler's potential was undeniable. He was exchanged as a yearling for Homeward Bound, and his sire, Van Galen, was sold to a village innkeeper in Wensleydale. Tim's victory in the Chester Cup, with a weight of 6st. 11lb., was a brilliant one, but his success did not go unnoticed. He defeated The Squire of Oran in the Manchester Trades' Cup just a few weeks later, only to be beaten by Ivanhoff in the Ascot Cup the following week. Tragically for Lord William Powlett, who purchased Tim Whiffler for a reported £2500, the horse did not compete in the Ascot Cup. The image of Tim Whiffler, triumphantly holding the Goodwood Cup, serves as a testament to his remarkable racing career and the unpredictability of the sport of kings.
