6 PRETTY POLLY 



In the Dip St. Amant took second place, but was 

 signally unable to make any kind of impression on 

 the favourite, who made the whole of the running and 

 won in a canter by three lengths, a length separating 

 St. Amant from Hands Down. 



Pretty Polly therefore decisively confirmed the Cham- 

 pagne running, and proved beyond all doubt her claim 

 to rank as far and away the best two-year-old of the 

 year. She brought up her winning sequence to nine 

 races by winning both the Criterion Stakes and the 

 Moulton Stakes at the Houghton Meeting. 



In the former she defeated Hands Down, and in the 

 latter Bitters, and two others, and in each case the 

 Ring demanded odds of loo to 7. 



This wonderful filly, whose two-year-old career had 

 been such a phenomenally successful one, then retired 

 into winter quarters with an unbeaten certificate.
