A GREAT YEAR 



Keystone. Maher appeared to get muddled up with 

 her at the turn into the straight. She lost her place 

 and never recovered it, though only beaten three heads, 

 Troutbeck winning by the narrowest of margins from 

 Prince William, Beppo no further away third, Keystone 

 II. next. In the Jockey Club Stakes she gave Beppo 

 12 lb. and ran him to a length. Allowing 3 lb. for 

 the beating, which is sufficiently liberal considering 

 that the distance is a mile and three-quarters, this makes 

 her 9 lb. the better of the two ; moreover in the 

 Sandown Three- Year-Old Produce Stakes, meeting 

 Prince William on even terms instead of receiving 3 lb. 

 from him as at Doncaster, she beat him five and a 

 half lengths. 



Lord Derby had a number of other winners, the 

 Eugenia filly, Pleiades II., Victorious, Glucose, Gourd, 

 Glastonbury, Yellow Peril, Vedas, Chaucer, who won 

 the Liverpool Cup, Venilia, Olympian, etc. 



It has been noted that very varying sums have placed 

 owners at the head of the list, but except during the 

 war the first place had not for many years been gained 

 by so little as the £17,910 10s. which was sufficient 

 for the present Lord Wavertree in 1907. This was 

 almost entirely secured by three horses, Witch Elm, 

 a daughter of Orme and Cannie Lassie, took the One 

 Thousand ; Polar Star, who if not absolutely the best 

 of his season as a two-year-old was probably second 

 to none, won the Jubilee and another little race ;
