Sassoon`s Cockbird`, height 15.3cm, approx. weight 28oz. Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon and thence by descent to the present owner. In the second volume of his autobiography, `The Weald of Youth` (Faber and Faber 1942) Sassoon writes about this race: `The Heavy-Weight race ought to have been won by H.A. Brown - one of the greatest amateur riders of his time. But he was on rather an inferior jumper and fell two fences from the end leaving Norman (Loder) and myself to contest a very close finish, during which we weren`t moving nearly so fast as some of the spectators imagined, and which resulted in Cockbird winning by not much more than the length of his neck`.

Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon and thence by descent to the present owner. In his semi fictional autobiography `Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man` (Faber and Gwyer 1928) Sassoon devotes a whole chapter to `The Colonels Cup`. He recounts how in the race he was almost unseated four fences from home but recovered and `after that … life became lyrical, beatified, ecstatic … to put it tersely I just galloped past Brownrigg, sailed over the last two fences and won by ten lengths.... As for Cockbird no words could ever express what we felt about him. He had become the equine equivalent of divinity`.
