Racing colours of Peter Savill, owner of Celtic Swing, Chaplin's Club et al., claret and blue pure silk jacket and cap, made by Allerton & Co., London, the colours made famous by 1994 champion two-year-old Celtic Swing and record-breaking sprinter Chaplin's Club Celtic Swing (foaled 1992), despite his Prix du Jockey Club victory of 1995, was best known for his outstanding performances the previous year when he was voted Cartier's top-rated European two-year-old colt. He won the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster by an impressive 12 lengths but failed to live up to his reputation the following year. He was owned for most of his career by Peter Savill, bred by the Duchess of Norfolk and trained by her daughter Lady Herries. Chaplin's Club (foaled 1980) featured in the Racing Post readers' poll of 100 Favourite Racehorses in 2004, and won nine handicaps in a season in two different years, 1985 and 1988, which was then a post-1900 British Flat record. In 1988 his tally included seven wins in 19 days, including the Tote Bookmakers' Sprint Trophy at Ayr. Renowned for his toughness, Chaplin's Club won 24 races in a ten-year career.
