Byron McClelland
Byron McClelland (c. 1855 - June 11, 1897) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing owner and trainer. He was one of the best known horsemen of his era who won the three races that would eventually constitute the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing series.
Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Byron McClelland's father trained horses and his brother, John W. McClelland (1849–1911), also trained horses in California. Young McClelland worked as a stable boy but, urged into a different career by his mother, left his job to go to work for a local newspaper. Nevertheless, the newspaper's owner operated a horse racing stable and offered the knowledgeable twenty-year-old McClelland a chance to train his horses. Five years later, success led McClelland being hired by H. Price McGrath, owner of the prominent McGrathiana Stud. Within a short time he left to set up his own racing stable in partnership with Mr. Dick Roche. McClelland proved to be not only a very capable trainer, but also an astute judge of horse talent. For the new partnership he turned an August Belmont castoff named Badge into a significant winner. McClelland purchased Badge for a "song" after the prominent owner had given up on the colt.〔http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9406E5DC163BE033A25754C2A9649D94699FD7CF〕 Having accumulated sufficient capital, McClelland chose to go his own way and in November 1889 the McClelland-Roche stable was sold at auction at the Elizabeth, New Jersey race track.〔http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A04E6DA143AEF33A25754C1A9679D94689FD7CF〕
==The Sport of Kings==
Competing in the "Sport of Kings" was difficult it was dominated by the extremely wealthy who could afford to spend vast sums to purchase the best-bred horses. He used his skills to make a living training horses for others plus his knowledge of horses to buy young unraced Thoroughbreds for himself at a price he could afford. Once he developed a young horse into a top runner, he could sell it at a substantial price both as a racer and for its eventual stallion/broodmare value. Profits from the sale of a top racehorse would go to expanding his racing and breeding operation by acquiring new young bloodstock.
