A GREAT YEAR 



should have been beaten by moderate animals at 

 Lincoln. 



The Ascot Meeting was to be for ever memorable 

 in racing history, for research shows that there is no 

 precedent for Lord Glanely's achievement of winning 

 seven races — exactly one quarter of the entire pro- 

 gramme. Grand Parade, not materially the worse 

 for his Epsom race, was one of eleven horses sent to 

 run, two of whom began by misses. Mighty Power, 

 the home-bred son of Radium and The Waif, was, it 

 gradually became plain, rather out of his class in the 

 Coventry Stakes, which the roguish Sarchedon, 15 to 8 

 on, won from Poltava, 5 to 2, an objection, which was 

 overruled, following the race. Royal Welsh did 

 much better in the Gold Vase, being beaten no more 

 than a length by the Duke of Portland's Silonyx, 

 behind him amongst others Queen's Square, a good 

 mare when in the humour which was not always, Our 

 Stephen, who was to win the Chester Cup next season, 

 and Perion. But the third attempt was fortunate, 

 Dominion giving proof of his ability to stay by winning 

 the Prince of Wales' Stakes, the distance a mile and 

 five furlongs. If the opposition was not strong he 

 was giving two of the other three 9 lb. and the fourth 

 16 lb.
