A GREAT YEAR 



Lord Glanely was, however, to wind up with a hand- 

 some victory. In the £1000 Chesterfield Nursery 

 at Derby Mr. C. S. Newton's Cap and Gown was 

 made a warm favourite at 9 to 4, a natural result of 

 his previous performances, Captain Harry Greer's 

 Bangalore and the Rock Egg colt were next in demand 

 at 6 to 1, and the last named got home, if with nothing 

 to spare, from Lord Londonderry's smart Pitmaston, 

 who was in receipt of 4 lb. Quantock was well 

 redeeming his promise. Other runners were Coed- 

 kernew, a son of Melayr or St. Gris out of Draconic, 

 and Greenmeadow, a son of Bushey Park and Lavenne. 

 They failed to score. The season, with six races won 

 by three horses, yielded £1921. 



It will be considered strange that Ouantock should 

 have won nothing as a three-year-old. Still the five 

 races in which he took part were by no means easy 

 ones to win. F. Wootton was engaged to ride him 

 in the Esher Cup, in which Cap and Gown failed by 

 a short head to give 13 lb. to Mr. Gamburg's Le 

 Touquet, Quantock unplaced. In the Empire Stakes 

 at Newbury he started at 7 to 2, second favourite to 

 Mr. A. B. Stern's very useful horse Cigar at 5 to 2, 

 but again finished unplaced, as he did to a younger 

 half-sister of Glen Clova, Captain J. Orr-Ewing's 

 daughter of St. Amant and Miss Lettice, afterwards 

 known as Amulet, for the Fern Hill Stakes, which he 

 thus attempted a second time. The Champion Sprint
