PRINCE PALATINE 



Prince Palatine may presently sire the winner of 

 other classics. 



Turning now to Prince Palatine's female ancestry, 

 Lady Lightfoot, his dam, was bred by the late Sir 

 Daniel Cooper, and bought at the sale of that 

 gentleman's yearlings in 1901 by Colonel W. Hall 

 Walker for 700 guineas. The Colonel was doubt- 

 less influenced in his purchase by the fact that the 

 filly was a daughter of Isinglass and Glare. Of 

 Glare Sir Daniel entertained a most exalted opinion, 

 which was shared by her new owner. She was a 

 daughter of another winner of all the three classics, 

 Ayrshire, and of Footlight, a mare rich in running 

 blood. Glare beo^an her career with a success in the 

 Brocklesby Plate at Lincoln, following on by taking 

 the Bedford Two- Year-Old Plate at Newmarket in 

 the Spring, and so highly was she esteemed that 

 odds of 3 to I were laid on her for the Woodcote 

 Stakes at Epsom. This was her first failure. The 

 race went to Lord Rosebery's subsequent Derby 

 winner, Ladas, 8 st. 12 lb., who beat Mr. Harry 

 Milner's Mecca, 8 st. 9 lb., by a length and a half, 

 Glare, 8 st. 13 lb., a head behind. I saw the race, 

 but do not remember the details. It seems, how- 

 ever, that the result must have been wrong, for 

 though Mecca was a smart filly, according to my 

 recollection she certainly should not have beaten 



Glare at a difference of 4 lb. Going to Ascot Glare
