Bachelor's Double
Bachelor's Double (22 April 1906 – 3 February 1931) was an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse that raced in Ireland and Britain and was a successful sire in the early 20th century. He won the Irish Derby as a three-year-old and also won the City and Suburban Handicap in 1910 and the Kempton Jubilee in 1911. Retired to stud in 1912, he sired the 1921 Epsom Oaks winner Love in Idleness and the inaugural Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Comrade. He died in 1931 in Ireland.
==Background==
Bachelor's Double was foaled on 22 April 1906 at Oatlands Stud, the estate of his breeder Albert Lowry near Navan, County Meath, Ireland. His sire Tredennis was sired by Kendal and was the last foal produced by the 1,000 Guineas winner and prolific broodmare St Marguerite, the dam of Seabreeze (Oaks, St. Leger), Antibes (Yorkshire Oaks) and Roquebrune (the dam of Rock Sand). St Marguerite died the day after Tredennis was born and he was subsequently fostered by a cart horse mare. Tredennis was a mediocre racehorse with a skittish temperament that was winless in three starts.〔 He was purchased by Albert Lowry in 1902 as a replacement for Lowry's main stallion Le Noir which had died that year in an accident. Tredennis became a leading stallion in the 1910s before his death in 1926, siring winners of 442 races and £134,100.
The dam of Bachelor's Double, Lady Bawn, was born at Oatlands in 1902 and was a twin to the mare Lady Black, being 20 minutes older than her sister. Twinning is a rare occurrence in horses and it was unusual for both twins to live to adulthood and rarer still for both to be successful broodmares. Lady Bawn was a half sister to the Ascot Gold Cup winner Bachelor's Buttons.〔 Lady Bawn and Lady Black were unraced as was their sire Le Noir. Bachelor's Double was Lady Bawn's first foal and she also produced the good racers Bachelor's Hope, Bachelor's Image and Bachelor's Wedding. Lady Black produced six stakes winners, including the colts Bachelor's Charm and Melesigenes, who ran with success in India.
Most of Albert Lowry's horses were named with the prefix Bachelor's after the name of his father's, Joseph Lowry's, estate Bachelor's Lodge.〔
