Robert Wyndham Walden (
1843 -
April 28,
1905) was one of the most successful
trainers in
thoroughbred horse racing during the last quarter of the
19th century.
Known by his middle name, Wyndham, in 1872 Walden and his wife Caroline moved from
New York to
Middleburg in
Carroll County, Maryland where they established "Bowling Brook Farm" to breed and train
thoroughbred race horses.
Wyndham Walden trained his first
Preakness Stakes winner in 1875 then two years later began a streak of five straight victories, all of which came with horses owned by
George L. Lorillard. Walden won the Preakness for a seventh time in 1888 with his own horse,
Refund. The win set a record for a trainer which still stands. During a career spanning thirty-one years between 1872 and 1902, he also won the
Belmont Stakes four times and trained more than 100
Stakes race winners.
In 1899, his son
Robert J. Walden won the
Kentucky Derby with
Manuel, owned by the Morris brothers,
Alfred and
David.
His daughter married jockey
Fred Littlefield who rode Refund to his 1888 Preakness Stakes victory and was aboard
Bowling Brook for the win in the 1898
Belmont Stakes.
On Wyndham Walden's passing in 1905, Bowling Brook Farm was taken over by his wife then on her passing by his son Robert who lived there until his death in 1951. Over the Walden family's eighty year history in racing they raised and trained winners of more than one thousand races.
Robert Wyndham Walden was inducted in the
National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1970.
