Right Boy, a horse who cost only 575 Guineas as a yearling, was the second top sprinter of the 1950s to be trained in Yorkshire by Bill Dutton - the first was Pappa Fourway, who cost even less, and when Dutton died in 1958, the horse was taken over by his late trainer's son-in-law Pat Rohan. Perhaps rather surprisingly, his early career was of no particular significance, but he certainly made his mark later on with 16 wins including the Nunthorpe Stakes (twice), and the July Cup, King George Stakes and Cork & Orrery Stakes, as well as the King's Stand Stakes. At stud he fell a long way below expectations and the only decent winners he produced by the time he was put down in 1977 were Reet Lass, who won the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, and Village Boy, who landed the Richmond Stakes at the same course.
