Coronation Stakes
In 1841 Fidget Hall was 64 acres and owned by George Samuel Ford, known in the racing fraternity as "Lawyer Ford". He was a financier to gentlemen and noblemen in distress, and one of the creditors of the bankrupt trainer Will Chifney - brother of Sam. Ford was passionately fond of racing: his horse "Poison" won the 1843 Oaks and "Guaracha" won the Coronation Stakes in 1846.
