King Edward dates his earliest association s- with a racing saddle, not in Meath, indeed, " but in Kildare. It was while he was doing g duty with his regiment, the Grenadier Guards, that t the then Prince of Wales made his first appearance e before a starter, and won his race, too, as testified d by some memorials which find an appropriate place e in the kings rooms in the Jockey Club, Newmarket. • — Pall Mall Gazette.
