Minting - colt by Triple Crown winner Lord Lyon foaled 1883.
Although top-rated 2-y-o in 1885 (a vintage year for the juvenile division) he proved inferior to Ormonde at 3 and 4. In the 1886 2,000 Guineas Minting was beaten 2l (the pair 10l clear) and in the 1887 Hardwicke Stakes Ormonde prevailed by a neck.
Contemporary reports suggest that Minting would have won 9 Derbys out of 10 but he gave Ormonde a swerve in 1886 going instead for the Grand Prix de Paris which he won in a canter.
