§ Nina Colmore (British, 1889-1973) Our Babu, a bay racehorse, by "My Babu" out of "Glen Line", the property of David Robinson oil on canvas h:49 w: 64.50 cm Provenance: A gift from Sir David Robinson, The Mill House, Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, and by descent. Nina Colmore was a painter of horses who during World War II drove ambulances in Birmingham, and later helped the war effort in Sicily and Italy. Our Babu (1952–16 December 1977) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from May 1954 to June 1955 he ran nine times and won four races. He was Britain's top-rated juvenile of 1954 when his win included the Middle Park Stakes and the Champagne Stakes, and went on to win the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket the following spring. After failing to win in two subsequent races he was retired to stud. Our Babu was a bay horse with a white star and snip and distinctive "lop" ears bred in Ireland by Sir Oliver Lambart. He was sired by the champion two-year-old and 2000 Guineas winner My Babu out of the mare Glen Line who showed no ability as a racehorse but was a highly successful broodmare producing the Eclipse Stakes winner King of the Tudors. As a descendant of the mare Sunbridge, she was a member of the same Thoroughbred family as Windsor Lad. As a yearling, Our Babu was sent to England for the Newmarket July sale, where he was bought for 2,700 guineas by Sir David Robinson who sent him to be trained by Major Geoffrey Brooke at his Clarehaven Stables at Newmarket.
