A racing plate worn by By The Way, winner of the 1985 Whitbread Gold Cup, the reverse of the plate with the name of the horse and trainer written in marker, together with a framed colour photograph of By The Way jumping, and a signed letter from trainer Mrs Monica Dickinson to Mr John A Davies, dated 29th July 1985. By The Way, a seven-year-old chestnut gelding was owned by Mrs Christine Feather, trained by Monica Dickinson at Harewood, West Yorkshire and ridden to victory in the Whitbread Gold Cup (now the Bet365 Gold Cup) by Robert Earnshaw. Run at Sandown over three miles five furlongs, this race was established in 1957 and was the first commercial sponsorship in British sport.
