George Alexander Baird
George Alexander Baird (30 September 1861 – 18 March 1893) was a wealthy British race horse owner, breeder and the most successful amateur jockey (gentleman rider) of his day, who rode under the assumed name of Mr. Abington. He was a controversial figure, at times in conflict with the establishment, "warned off" for his aggressive riding behaviour, and implicated in a prize fight fixing scandal. He had a relationship with Lillie Langtry, actress and former mistress of the Prince of Wales (King Edward VII). He died in a hotel room in New Orleans aged thirty three.
== Family fortune ==
The Baird family wealth came from the industry of grandfather Alexander Baird (1765–1833) and seven of his sons who worked numerous coal and mineral leases in Scotland from 1816. They built ironworks that within 15 years grew to be the largest in the country, and in 1830, William Baird and Company was formed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/William_Baird_and_Co )〕 The industrial revolution and the expansion of the railways brought the family the wealth that they used to buy land and property in Scotland. Baird's inheritance was to include that of his father plus two of his wealthy uncles who had died childless.
