Fred Darling

Frederick Darling (1884–1953) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse trainer who trained a record-equalling seven English Derby winners.

[2] Darling was succeeded as trainer at Beckhampton by Noel Murless.

Amongst his most successful horses were Hurry On, the unbeaten St. Leger winner of 1916; Sun Chariot who won three British Classic Races in 1942; and Tudor Minstrel, the 2,000 Guineas winner of 1947.

He is commemorated by the Fred Darling Stakes, run at Newbury Racecourse.

As well as a trainer, he was a breeder of thoroughbreds and bred Pinza, who won the Derby in 1953.
