THE GRAND SEFTON STEEPLECHASE 



however, being a walk-over, but though he ran well on 

 various occasions when he came to England a Novices' 

 'Chase at Hurst Park was his only actual success in 



1907, and the Liverpool fences proved too much for 

 him, the great majority of the field. Loop Head among 

 them, falling in the Grand Sefton. But in 1908 

 Caubeen added greatly to his reputation by winning the 

 race, which was strictly in accordance with expectations, 

 as he started favourite. There was a good field. Spring- 

 bok among them, and an even more formidable rival in 

 Jenkinstown, who was to win the Liverpool two years 

 afterwards. Eighteen went to the post, and Caubeen 

 carrying lost. 11 lb.. Mason riding, won by five lengths. 

 Jenkinstown this time was pulled up. Wolfhound 

 refused, Rory O' Moore, Roman Law, Nanoya, Apollo 

 Belvedere, Tempo Bello, Spinning Coin and General 

 Moon all fell.
