Walter Morrison Jeffords Sr. (August 8, 1883 – September 28, 1960) was a successful Investment banker and owner/breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses who, in partnership with his wife's uncle, Samuel Riddle, purchased and operated Faraway Farm near Lexington Kentucky where they stood Man o' War.[1] Jeffords was a Horace Walpole Society, elected in 1948.
He was the son of John Elliott Jeffords (1842–1906) and Eliza Macalester Brand (1848–1923). He married Sarah Dobson Fiske (1886–1966) in 1914.
Jeffords is one of only five people to be named an Exemplar of Racing by the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.[2] His former estate is now Ridley Creek State Park.
