Pommern – winner of the 1915 Triple Crown

 One hundred years ago and a year into the First World War, all the Classics were run at Newmarket.

In the Two Thousand Guineas, Pommern, a bay colt by Polymelus out of Merry Agnes, gave Steve Donoghue his first of 14 Classic winning rides.

Here follows the essay and Pommern’s race record taken from my book The Classic Pedigree 1776 – 1989.
