and finaily wound up the season 1839, by walking over at 

 Weymouth, on the 29th August, for Her Majesty's Plate 

 of 100 Guineas. 



Deception's only appearance in the year 1840, was for 

 the Tradesmen's Cup at the Liverpool July Meeting, for 

 which she was not placed, Sleight-of-Hand winning, and 

 Sampson second. With which performance she closed her 

 career on the Turf; being of a tender constitution she did 

 not train on and was consequently put to the stud. She 

 was a thoroughly good mare, and ran her races honestly 

 and well. 



Deception is a peculiarly light and elegantly formed 

 mare, with a symmetrical shape, a good form in action, 

 like a deer.
