Breeding
The sire of Bay Ronald, Hampton, also sired four classic winners: Ayrshire, Merry Hampton, Reve d'Or, and Ladas (who won the Epsom Derby). His dam Black Duchess only won one small race, but she did produce Black Cherry who was the dam of Cherry Lass (1,000 Guineas and Epsom Oaks), Blanche (the dam of Blandford) and Jean's Folly (dam of Night Hawk, winner of the St Leger). Bay Ronald's dam-sire, Galliard, won the 2,000 Guineas.
