William Philip Molyneux (1772-1838), the 2nd Earl of Sefton, was a friend of Prinny and a noted gambler and sportsman. Nicknamed Lord Dashalong, he was the third Master of The Quorn, and later founded the Waterloo Cup which continued in popularity until 2005. But his nickname came from his penchant for racing through the streets of London in a carriage and four. Naturally, he was a member of the Four Horse Club and White’s. Lady Molyneux, his wife, would also be a Patroness for Almack’s.
