Footnotes

Provenance: the estate of Anne M. Bullitt, Palmerstown House, Co. Kildare, Ireland.

Born on February 24th 1924 in Paris, France, Anne Moen Bullitt was the daughter of William Christian Bullitt and Louise Bryant. Her father was the first American ambassador to the Soviet Union and later became his country's ambassador to France. Her mother was a noted journalist.

Anne Moen Bullitt married four times and she enjoyed much success and fame in Ireland as a horse owner, breeder and trainer. She made history when becoming the first woman in Ireland to be granted a racehorse trainer's licence. Her first winner as a trainer came at her local racecourse on August 31st 1966 with Flying Tiger, which she also owned and bred. She was the champion owner in Ireland in 1958 when her colt Sindon won the premier Irish classic race, the Irish Derby. He also finished second in two other classic races, the Irish 2000 Guineas and the Irish St Leger. Two years later she won her second classic when Zenobia landed the Irish 1000 Guineas for fillies.

She bred Partholon (named after the leader of the second group of people to settle in Ireland), a son of her resident stallion Milesian who stood at her Palmerstown Stud, and the colt won the prestigious National Stakes at two years and the Ebor Handicap the following season. He was sold to Japan where he was champion sire three times (1971, 1976 and 1984) and he was responsible for many famous runners, including the two-time Horse of the Year and Japanese Triple Crown winner Symboli Rudolf. His other champion sons and daughters include Sakura Shori, Toko Elsa, Diana Tholon, Nasuno Kaori, Tokuzakura, Yamatodake and Sweet Native.

Anne Moen Bullitt, who enjoyed success with her horses under the names of Mrs Biddle, Mrs More O'Ferrall and Mrs Brewster, died on August 18th, 2007 in Dublin, Ireland and is buried in Philadelphia, USA.
