SOME OWNEES I HAVE TEAINED FOR 175 



won the £1000 Nursery, beating Happy Warrior 

 a neck, and the second objected on the ground 

 of bumping. Although every one (including the 

 judge himself) thought that the decision should 

 be undisturbed, Fox, who rode Draughtsman, 

 having admitted that he touched the second, 

 Happy Warrior, it proved fatal to Draughtsman 

 according to the rules of racing. I think in their 

 own minds the stewards agreed with the judge, 

 that the touch did not prevent Happy Warrior 

 from winning. It seemed hard lines in a case like 

 this that the stewards had not the power to place 

 Draughtsman second. Unfortunately, these are 

 the kind of turn-ups one expeiiences in racing. 

 This, to say the least, was an unpleasant wind-up 

 to one of the worst years Beckhampton has ever 

 experienced, viz. 1913. 



Amongst the winners I trained for Messrs. Carroll 

 and Mackay were Nightrider, Melody, Queen 



„ Tii, Torch Bearer; in fact, most of 



Messrs. ' ' 



Carroll and their horses were winners. Melody 

 won the Acorn Stakes at Epsom, and 

 was beaten a head by Sun Star in the Champagne 

 Stakes at Doncaster. This mare was a favourite 

 of mine, but unfortunately she was very small. 

 Messrs. Carroll and Mackay have now formed one 

 of, if not the most up-to-date stud farms in 

 France, and intend racing mostly in that country.
