SOME WINNERS 



the post crossed his legs and fell. The Stewards 

 duly passed him. Shoot won the Past and Present 

 Handicap Steeplechase at the Sandown Grand Military- 

 Meeting, and the Stewards' 'Chase at Ludlow, after 

 which he met Ascetic's Silver at Hurst, starting 

 favourite, moreover, at 5 to 4. In the course of the 

 race he broke down or his friends believe that he would 

 have beaten the Liverpool winner, and as it was he 

 finished second in front of Mr. Gorham's very useful 

 Wolf's Folly. 



Terpsichore 11. 



This mare was bred in America, a daughter of the 

 Derby winner St. Blaise and Reel Dance. As a five- 

 year-old in 1899, after three fruitless attempts, at Tenby 

 she won the last race on the Thursday and the first race 

 on the Friday, Mr. Gwyn Saunders-Davies won the 

 Grand Military Handicap Steeplechase on her at Cardiff 

 on Easter Monday, and Col. Lort-Phillips rode her 

 himself in a Private Sweepstakes, also at Cardiff ; but 

 Sir Peter Walker's good old horse Missionary landed 

 the odds of 5 to 2 which were laid on him. This I 

 think disposes of all the horses that have not been 

 mentioned in the previous chapters and are in any way 

 noteworthy.
