1906 



In 1906 Mr. Bibby's representative was Comfit. He 

 had been off colour in the season 1904- 1905, not having 

 been out since running for an ordinary ;^ioo Handicap 

 at Kempton in February till he reappeared in December 

 and won the Winter 'Chase at Gatwick, very unex- 

 pectedly, as he was the outsider of the little party, and 

 moreover two miles on a Park course was not his metier. 

 This sort of thing may have the effect of sharpening up 

 a Liverpool horse, which is desirable as far as that goes, 

 though on the other hand, gliding through the tops of 

 Park course fences is not a particularly healthy prepara-
