Frédéric Lagrange, 2nd count of Lagrange
(21 June 1815, Dangu - 22 November
1883, Paris) was a French politician. His father was the Napoleonic
general Joseph Lagrange and
his father-in-law was the Belgian businessman and diplomat Joseph de
Riquet de Caraman. He was deputy for Gers then
senator for Gers, both under the French Second Empire. He
was also a noted racehorse owner and breeder. He set up a stud in England under
Tom Jennings Senior and another in France headed by Henry Jennings. In 1856 he
bought Monarque, who had won the Prix du Jockey Club the
previous year whilst owned by Alexandre Aumont, and used him as a stud. His
horse Fille de l'Air won The Oaks in 1864 and
another of his horses, Gladiateur, won The Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris, both
in 1865, and the Ascot Gold Cup in
1866. Gladiateur became the first foreign-bred horse to win the three British Classic Races which
subsequently became known as the Triple Crown.
