DISRAELI AND THE RACE-COURSE 



Sir Hugo prevails, and Lord Bradford is both the 

 owner and breeder of the horse. Doubtless in 

 his hour of triumph he thought of the lively 

 pleasure the victory would have given to his 

 old friend. He would remember the message he 

 had received from, him in days gone by : how 

 that he ought to have a famous stable and breed 

 from the best blood a Derby winner. And now 

 it had all been fulfilled, and he had attained, after 

 years of endeavour, the highest pinnacle of racing 

 fame. The fickle goddess had at length smiled 

 upon him : 



Nos te, 

 Nos facimus, Fortuna, deam coeloque locamus.
