porterhouse i just don't know the owner

Hello Sportfreak315,

The first champion trained by Hall of Famer Charlie Whittingham was
Porterhouse owned by Mrs. Cloyce Tippett.


?Whittingham had 11 equine champions. His last was Flawlessly in 1993;
his first was Porterhouse in 1953.?

Las Vegas Review-Journal

June 10, 1953: 

?Trainer Charlie Whittingham, at age 40, saddled his first stakes
winner when Porterhouse, ridden by Bill Boland, won the National
Stallion Stakes at Belmont Park. Porterhouse was later named champion
two-year-old of 1953.?

Dear Sportfreak315,

According to Blood-Horse Magazine, the owner of Porterhouse is Mrs. Cloyce Tippett.

The source of this information is the chart at the following link:
http://www.bloodhorse.com/eclipsewinners/pdf/History_Charts.pdf

Under the column "2-year-old male", you can see the name of the owner
of the horse followed by the name of the horse

For example:

2003 ?B. Wayne Hughes? Action This Day?

B. Wayne Hughes is the owner of the horse Action This Day.


2001 ?Michael Tabor & Mrs. John Magnier?s Johannesburg?

Michael Tabor and Mrs. John Magnier are co-owners of the horse Johannesburg.


If you scroll down to 1953 it says  ?Mrs. Cloyce Tippett?s Porterhouse.?

Mrs. Cloyce Tippett is the owner of Porterhouse.


Sincerely,

After i finished the Horse Racing test i was taking they gave me an
answer sheet. The corretc answer was Porterhouse was owned and bred by
Elizabeth Arden's Llangollen Farm. The answer had no significant
evidence. I want my money back please.

It IS NOT TOTALLY CLEAR THAT THIS IS CORRECT

It looks totally clear to me that this information is correct. The
.pdf file from Blood-Horse Magazine is an excellent reference.

This article mentions "Liz" Whitney Tippett of Llangollen Farm. 
Perhaps you're remembering the Whitney name instead.


Through the years not only the Commonwealth's commercial breeders, but
great private breeders and racing owners had put it all on the line
with their hearts and fortunes to make the Virginia Thoroughbred a
force to be reckoned with in the world of racing - Paul Mellon of
Rokeby Farms, Isabell Dodge Sloane, Admiral Cary T. Grayson, Whitney
Stone of Morvan Stud, Theo Randolph, Thomas Mellon Evans of Buckland,
Howell E. Jackson, "Liz" Whitney Tippett of Llangollen, Marion DuPont
Scott of Montpelier, James and Alice Mills of Hickory Tree, Raymond
Guest, Stephen C. Clark, and of course, the ever-persistent
Christopher Chenery.
