Mid-day Sun
Mid-day Sun (1934–1954) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. After showing little promise as a two-year-old in 1936, Mid-day Sun improved into top class performer at three. In 1937 he won five races including the Epsom Derby and the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. He was retired to stud in 1938 but had little success as a stallion. He was the first winner of the Derby at Epsom to be owned by a woman. ==Background== Mid-day Sun was a bay horse bred in England by W. T. Sears. As a yearling he was sent to the sales at Newmarket but attracted little interested and did not reach his reserve price of 2,000 guineas. Shortly afterwards, a private sale was arranged by the trainer Fred Butters, acting on the advice of his more famous elder brother Frank, and the colt entered the ownership of Lettice Miller (officially Mrs G. B. Miller). Butters, took charge of the colt’s training at his stables at Kingsclere, Berkshire. Mid-day Sun’s sire, Solario was an outstanding racehorse who won the Coronation Cup and the Ascot Gold Cup in 1926, before going on to be Champion sire three times. His dam, Bridge of Allan was a minor winner and a half sister of the 2000 Guineas runner-up Knockando.
