Stewards' Cup
Glad Rags was a chestnut filly bred in Ireland by Captain D Rogers. She was sired by High Hat, who won several races (including an upset victory over Petite Etoile) for his owner Sir Winston Churchill. Her dam, Dryad won four minor races and also produced the Stewards' Cup winner Victorina. Glad Rags was only the second Classic winner, after the 1874 Epsom Derby winner George Frederick to be produced by Thoroughbred Family 13-b.
