THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD 



victory for a small Plate over the T.Y.C., in 

 which, however, she only had one very moderate 

 opponent. The filly did fairly well at Ascot, for 

 although Albert Victor and Sterling proved to be 

 much too good for her in the Gold Vase, she 

 easily beat Dutch Skater and Fervacques for a 

 Queen's Plate, run over the Alexandra Plate 

 course. Another Queen's Plate fell to her during 

 the Newmarket July, and this was followed by 

 unsuccessful essays at Alexandra Park and Good- 

 wood, at which latter fixture Dutch Skater 

 reversed his Ascot form with her over a course 

 of three miles and five furlongs. The mare was 

 kept in training for another season without any 

 satisfactory result. One of the races in which she 

 took part as a five-year-old was the Cesarewitch, 

 in which she was backed down to 100 to 30, in 

 spite of having 8 st. 10 lb. to carry. I do not 

 suppose, however, that she was nearly so good 

 then as she had been two years previously, and 

 the task of conceding 19 lb. to King Lud might 

 well prove to be hopelessly beyond her powers.
