What’s In a Name: Hester Prynne (GB)

Congratulations to whoever named the very first winner by the Galileo (Ire) stallion Mondialiste (Ire). The 2-year-old filly won a novice at Beverley on May 3 for trainer David O'Meara and is out of Dame Hester (Ire) (Diktat {GB}). The Geoff and Sandra Turnbull-owned filly is named after the most famous Hester of all: Hester Prynne (GB), the complex and dignified heroine of the American classic The Scarlet Letter–the 1850 novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The narrative takes place in a Puritan community in Massachusetts in the 1640s; the protagonist of the book has a child out of wedlock and is sentenced to have the letter “A” stitched to the front of her dress for the rest of her life. The abominable nature of this cruel public humiliation has resonated for decades, and the novel has drawn the attention and the praise of other great writers (George Eliot, DH Lawrence, etc), not to speak of the eternal interest from songwriters, playwrights, and film directors. Good luck to the equine Hester Prynne, hopefully as independent and hard-headed as her namesake–and a bit more fortunate.

Geoff Turnbull Passes at 74

Geoff Turnbull MBE, who with his wife Sandra raced horses of the calibre of Group 1 winners Mondialiste (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Lord Glitters (Fr) (Whipper), has passed away after a short illness, Elwick Stud announced in a statement via Twitter on Thursday. The proprietor of Elwick Stud in County Durham was 74.

The statement read, “Elwick Stud is deeply saddened by the passing of our much loved CEO Geoff Turnbull MBE after a short battle with illness. Black armbands will be worn during racing today as a mark of respect for Mr. Turnbull, who was a great ambassador for northern racing. We ask that the privacy of the family is respected at this very difficult time.”

A lifelong horse lover, Turnbull purchased his first racehorse, the seven-time winner La Sylphide (GB) (Primitive Gift {GB}), in 1998. Later on she became the first broodmare for his fledgling Elwick Stud operation.

The best runner to carry the Turnbulls’ colours was Wertheimer & Frere-bred Mondialiste. A winner and third in the 2013 G1 Prix Jean Prat, he joined the yard of trainer David O’Meara after being purchased for €190,000 out of the 2014 Arqana Deauville Summer Mixed Sale. The bay would go on to win the 2015 GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile S. in Canada and take the following year’s GI Arlington Million S. Stateside. He was also runner-up in the 2015 GI Breeders’ Cup Mile and is currently standing his third season at Elwick Stud at a fee of £6,000. His oldest foals are yearlings.

Also an international campaigner, the gelded Lord Glitters’s best showing is a win in the 2019 G1 Queen Anne S., while he was second the year prior and also third in both the 2019 G1 Dubai Turf and 2018 G1 Sussex S. The grey carries an entry to the G2 York S. on Saturday.
