In every respect, this greyhound exemplified the exact definition of a champion. His ancestors were from the prestigious Cotswolds kennels held by Major McCalmont. His father, Mutton Cutlet, was born and raised there by Jamie from Miss Cinderella. He was a descendant of the same kennels.
It was in March 1921 that Mutton Cutlet was born, and he participated in the Waterloo Cup competition three times (1923, 1924, and 1925). Although he did not make it to the finals, he did attempt to compete for the Waterloo Plate in 1924. Despite his boldness and speed, he did not make it. In 1926, Tom Morris, who was in charge of the Irish Studbook, imported him and paid a total of ten guns to have him put to stud in Ireland. He used him for breeding purposes. The dog had produced 522 track and coursing field champions by the time he went away in November 1934, despite the fact that he had only served a few bitches in his first two or three years of service.
A number of noteworthy sites, such as Mr Moon, Beef Cutlet, and Valiant Cutlet, can trace their lineage back to him.
Future Cutlet was born and raised in Ireland, despite the fact that his father was a British citizen to the fullest extent possible. In 1930, W.A. Evershed paid a substantial £ 600 to have him fight at the recently constructed Wembley Stadium.
Due to the fact that he was just two years old at the time, his participation in the Derby was delayed until the following year. On the other hand, he was brought in for Cesarewitch at West Ham for more than 600 yards. At the age of two and a half, he had already triumphed in two Classics as a result of his success in the last Classic of the season held at this location. It was only the beginning of his career.
Despite the fact that he had previously won the Classic twice, bookmakers still gave him a hundred percent chance of winning the Derby in 1932, and he came very close to going against their predictions.
But in the final, he competed against the northern flyer Wild Woolley, and it was a nail-biter between these two excellent greyhounds from the beginning of the race. Wild Woolley won by a neck, and they reached the finish line ten lengths ahead of the other greyhounds.
Many doubted that Future Cutlet could recover from the setback he experienced in the 1933 Derby. This was because he was only four years and three months old at the time, Wild Woolley was back in the competition, and Beef Cutlet was a promising new flier who delivered an impressive performance.
However, he once again showcased an impressive performance in the race, coming remarkably close to crossing the finish line alongside Beef Cutlet. Ultimately, Future Cutlet emerged as the victor by a narrow margin. It's hard to fathom a more deserving champion of the Derby than him, and he holds the distinction of being the oldest canine ever to claim the title. There was the tiniest of gaps between the two horses, and it was Beef Cutlet who emerged victorious in the Wimbledon Champion Stakes later that year. The distinction between the two horses was practically indistinguishable.
Mr. Evershed had established a trust fund for his champion to ensure a lavish retirement by the end of the summer. Future Cutlet had decided to step away from their career at that point. Contrary to Sidney Probert's perspective, Future Cutlet proved to be a remarkably resilient dog, exhibiting exceptional performance throughout his entire career with only a single instance of not placing. Captain Brice, the racing manager at Wembley, was considered the most outstanding observer among them all. Before Bally Hennessy Seal, he was likely the swiftest trapper during that period.
He had not only excellent proportions, but always polished and sophisticated performances. He won four English Classics over the course of three years, a feat that has never been done by a greyhound before.
