THE DRUUY, 1838.

Rowton, he had been backed heavily, and the public had 

 good grounds of complaint either against the starter or the 

 jockey. The losses on the race were very small, and, being 

 divided amongst the book-makers at large, were not felt in 

 the settling, which passed off amazingly well. The princi- 

 pal winners were, Messrs S. Smith, Myers, Barnes, and 

 Stubbs ; and it is also stated that Lord Chesterfield won 

 five thousand pounds, the sum lost by Lord G. Bentinck. 

 Sir Gilbert Heathcote contented himself with the stakes. 

 The winner was ridden by that deserving jockey, James 

 Chappie : and we may safely assert, that amongst the one 

 hundred and thirty odd nominations, the prize could not 

 have been gained by a more popular and straightforward 

 gentleman than Sir Gilbert Heathcote ; and the many 

 hearty congratulations offered to him, and the shouts of joy 

 that burst from the immense multitude upon his being de- 

 clared the winner, must have been truly gratifying to the 

 worthy Baronet's feelings. 



This was Amato's first, last, and only race. Being a 

 tender horse, he never trained again, but left the Turf for 

 ever with the name of a day.
