But the season was to wind up with an inexplic- 

 able disaster. I should think it probable that Mr. 

 Fairie only sent his three-year-old Aleppo to the 

 Houghton Meeting at Newmarket on the supposi- 

 tion that Prince Palatine would not run for the 

 Jockey Club Cup. Aleppo, who alone was daringly 

 started to oppose Mr. Pilkington's colt, had won 

 nothing as a two-year-old, as a three-year-old he 

 had been out nine times prior to this and had only 

 got home once by a head from a colt who was 

 giving him a pound. Odds of 20 to i were laid on 

 Prince Palatine, and the price really did not seem 

 extravagant.
