Dick Dawson was British Champion Trainer in 1916, 1924 and 1929, winning numerous important races including four Epsom Derbys, three St. Leger Stakes, one 2,000 Guineas, and two Epsom Oaks. Dawson owned Blandford, the English champion sire in 1934, 1935 and 1938 who sired Bahram, the 1935 English Triple Crown champion. Blandford stood at both Whatcombe and Cloghran. The latter is a townland circa 5 miles from Dublin city centre and less than a mile from Dublin airport. In Dawson's time it would have been a rural agricultural area. His former yard is still there today at the end of Turnapin Lane, a former turnpike road. (en)
