Pershore - Worcestershire town well-known for plum growing (the Pershore Purple tastes particularly delicious).
The Land O'Plums steeplechase originally run at Pershore (the town's last racecourse closed in 1939) was revived at Worcester in 2010. |

Darcys Yellow Turk. Foaled around 1665 he is one of the earliest and least known thoroughbred stallions recorded in the Stud Book yet it said all throughbreds can trace their lineage back to him. For instance Flying Childers sired by Darly Arabian (foaled in 1700) has the Yellow Turk on both sides of his dam's pedigree.

^ It's a fair question but I don't know the answer. Gary Carter might also be in the frame for a relative connection.
