turf enthusiasts are among pre-
vious winners of the Leonard

year Delaware Park opened,
There was no renewal in l943,
when the race meeting was
blacked out because of World

In addition to the lions share
of the rich purse, the owner of
the Leonard Richards winner re-
ceives a beautiful and ancient
trophy presented by Delaware

This perpetual cup is retained
until the next running of the
stake, or one year, but the VIC
torious owner also receives a
replica for permanent posses
sion. The cup was raced for
and won by the 18th Lord Lovat
of Beaufort Castle, Inverness
shire. 1t was handed down in
the family until its disposal by
sale with other Lovat silver.
The cup was made in London
in 1926 by the famous silver
smith, Benjamin Smith.
