OWNER PROFILE
Dermot McCalmont was born in 1887 into a family who enjoyed their racing. His father, Colonel Harry McCalmont, had won the English Triple Crown with Isinglass (SR 2047) in 1893 and Dermot became an accomplished amateur jockey, winning the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown Park which was restricted to Military Amateur riders. After his military career, where he reached the post of Major, he devoted more time to horse racing, developing the Ballylinch Stud in Kilkenny in 1914 built around the unbeaten stallion The Tetrarch, but he was also a successful, Classic winning owner. He won the English 2000 Guineas in 1920 with Tetratema (SR 2077) and for a second time in 1929 with Mr Jinks (SR 1951), but was equally successful in Ireland. He won the 1944 Irish Derby with Slide On (SR 1928) and again the next year with Piccadilly (SR 1853). He died in 1968 aged 81. |
