90 KINGSCLERE 



A noteworthy performance of the Duke of 

 Richmond's was his match for 500/. with St. Simon 

 at Newmarket over the Bretby Stakes Course. 

 St. Simon and 'the Duke' were carrying equal 

 weights, and the former won by three-quarters of a 

 length. ' It opened my eyes to the qualities of St. 

 Simon,' was Porter's comment on a performance 

 which, in consideration of Duke of Richmond's 

 ascertained form at home, was extraordinary. In 

 stakes that season the Kingsclere stable amassed 

 21,742/. 



Cambusmore (by Doncaster out of Strathfleet), 

 who arrests attention in opening a review of the 

 results of 1884, was a most useful three-year-old, 

 who won a lot of money. The St. James's Palace 

 Stakes at Ascot, the Great Foal Stakes at New- 

 market, the Thirty-sixth Triennial Stakes at New- 

 market comprised the sum of his winning account, 

 which amounted to 3,856/. Sandiway trained on 

 right enough, and did fairly well ; but in the one 

 1 classic race ' (the One Thousand Guineas), which 

 had read to the stable a certainty for the mare, she 

 was unlucky. She won the Coronation Stakes at 

 Ascot, the Nassau at Goodwood, and the New- 

 market Oaks, but she had to lower her colours to 

 Lambkin in the Doncaster St. Leger. There were, 

 however, manifest causes for the defeat. She was 

 knocked about and ' disappointed ' in the race, or 

 the result might have been the other way. Her 

 winnings amounted to 3,26*7/. Duke of Richmond
