PRINCE PALATINE 



My idea is that the son of Persimmon must have 

 been let down after winning the Jockey Club Stakes 

 a month before, for to the general amazement the 

 outsider beat him easily by half a dozen lengths. 

 Such things are not absolutely unprecedented, but 

 naturally occur extremely seldom. Prince Palatine, 

 however, had completed a brilliant season. Of the 

 seven races for which he had run he had taken four 

 of the value of ;^20,730, and his three seconds had 

 brought in an additional £700.
