Lindsay C. Howard

Lindsay Coleman Howard was an American sportsman, born in San Francisco on 31 March 1904, the son of the prominent businessman and thoroughbred owner Charles S. Howard. He served in the United States Army and rose to the rank of captain. By the early 1930s he had developed into a top class polo player and captained the San Mateo Hurricanes. He and his brother Robert often played matches in Argentina and, with their friend Bing Crosby, set up the Caballeriza Binglin Stock Farm near Buenos Aires. In the late 1930s Howard and Crosby raced horses as the Binglin Stable, which Howard trained from 1939 until the partnership ended in 1953. He died in 1971 at his home in Moorpark, California.
