EARL’S SON. RETIRING TRAINER. MONEY IN BREEDING. LONDON, Nov. 28. Hon. George Lambton, son of the Earl of Durham, has retired from his position as trainer of Lord Derby’s horses. He will, however, still manage the horses with Frank Butters as trainer. Hon. George trained the winner of practically every big race in England, and among tho horses that passed through his hands were Sansovino, Canterbury Pilgrim, Keystone 11, Colorado and Tranquil. During the present season, with 31 horses, he brought his patrons nearly £50,000. The Weekly Dispatch writes: “Whatever may be languishing, tho British thoroughbred industry is not. A significant fact is that 12 out of 13 of Great Britain’s loading winning owners are also breeders, which shows that the winning of races is not everything. Lord Woolavington must be deriving at least £30,000 or £40,000 per annum from Captain Cuttle and Hurry On and' that must be augmented when Coronach joins the stud.’’
