Mr. J. W. Larnach's Jeddah, winner of the Derby, 1898. 'The success of Jeddah was entirely a surprise, for he started at 100 to 1, almost unprecedented odds for a Derby winner. No similar instance has occurred within the last half century. Jeddah, however, has an excellent pedigree, being the son of Janissary and Pilgrimage, the latter of which won the Two Thousand Guineas and the One Thousand Guineas. The Derby winner is descended also from Isonomy and Janette. His owner, Mr. Larnach, who comes from Australia, is well known in Oxfordshire hunting circles.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
