HERMIT AND ISINGLASS 



was his last race, and also one of tlie easiest he 

 ever had, as Reminder and Kilsallaghan were his 

 only opponents. The following table of the races 

 he won may be useful for reference : — 



1892 



Maiden Plate (Newmarket) . . £l96 



New Stakes (Ascot) 2006 



Middle Park Plate (Newmarket) . . 2375 



£4577 



1893 



Two Thousand Guineas (Ne'svmarket) . . £4250 



Newmarket Stakes (Newmarket) . . 3795 



The Derby (Epsom) ..... 5515 

 St. Leger (Doncaster) . . . .5300 



£18,860 



1894 



Princess of Wales's Stakes (Newmarket) £10,911 

 Eclipse Stakes (Sandown Park) . . . 9,285 



Jockey Club Stakes (Newmarket) . . 11,302 



£31,498 



1895 

 Gold Cup (Ascot) £2520 



This gives a grand total of £57,455, or £2300 : 10s. 

 more than the amount won by Donovan, though, 

 as I pointed out when dealing with the Duke of 

 Portland's horse, he only ran for two seasons, 

 whilst Isinglass stood training for four. It is a 

 great record, and yet there can be small doubt 

 that it would have been easily beaten by Flying 

 Fox, had the Duke of Westminster lived for a 

 few months longer.
