..(is anyone keeping count?) with bachelor George Baird (Squire Abington of Scotland) whom she met in 1887. He had vast estates and a large horse breeding business with a racing stable and more money than he knew what to do with. He had inherited from his grandfather who had made HIS money from coal and iron business, plus from his father who was also wealthy.
Langtry and Baird met at a race course and he later gave her a horse which Langtry named “Mr. Jersey” and raced for her. Their affair lasted from 1891 until he died in 1893 (isn’t this the 2nd who’s died during her affair?)
After his death, Lillie bought some of his horses and moved to the village of Kenford near Newmarket. She expanded her stables and hired relations of her brothers, and of her first husband (Langtry). She went through many trainers and jockeys (as in hired; not affairs) for 23 years until she gave up the business after much lack of success. She had, however, entertained the Prince of Wales (her first affair).
