Pie was at once sent to the stud, and stood at 

 Mr. Jno. Winteringham's, at Croft, for several 

 seasons. His name appeared in the list of winning 

 sires the first season his offspring ran, and his 

 four winners, three of whom, by the way, were the 

 property of either Mr. Perkins or his trainer, 

 credited their owners with something over £2,000. 

 Since then he has always maintained a respectable 

 place amongst the winning sires, his position 

 being chiefly owing to the victories of Chislehurst, 

 Beauchamp, Glance, Luminary, Selby, Bessie, and 

 Beaulieu ; and there are now at Highfield one or 

 two yearlings by him not unlikely to create a 

 sensation before many months pass over their 

 heads.

 the Derby when Mr. Trotters Palm bearer, a 

 horse that had been running in unimportant

 the liberal price of 33 to 1 for a place, ran the 

 Derby winner to a length ; and in 1880 it 

 was to cause a similar sensation in the Oaks.

 in the Two Thousand, and, although the latter was beaten by 

 Jaunette in the Oaks, it should be borne in mind that she broke 

 down badly iu the race and never rau again.
