Scottish Union (1935–1954) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1938. He was one of the highest-rated British two-year-old in 1937, when his wins included the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse. In the following year he ran prominently in all three legs of the Triple Crown, finishing second in the 2000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby before his win in the Leger. As a four-year-old he won the Coronation Cup but appeared beaten for stamina in the Ascot Gold Cup before being retired to stud where his record was moderate. He died at the age of nineteen in 1954. ==Background== Scottish Union was a bay horse with a small white star bred by the Sledmere Stud of Driffield, East Yorkshire. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Cameronian, the winner of the 2000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby in 1931. Cameronian's subsequent stud career was disappointing and he was eventually sold and exported to Argentina. Scottish Union's dam Trustful won two races and produced fourteen winners including the July Cup winner Coroado. Her more remote descendants included Roland Gardens (2000 Guineas) and the Cartier Award winning filly Kooyonga. As a yearling Scottish Union was offered for sale and bought for 3,000 guineas by James Voase Rank, the son of Joseph Rank and older brother of the film-maker J. Arthur Rank. The colt was sent into training with Noel Cannon at the Druid's Lodge stable near Salisbury in Wiltshire. Cannon was a member of a well-known racing family, being a cousin of the jockeys Mornington and Kempton Cannon.
