AMOUNT OF HIS WINNINGS. Sy 



For at Goodwood, with a string increased threefold, 

 he met with nothing like the same good fortune. It 

 is true that he won many races and some important 

 stakes with Miss Elis ; but on the whole the results, 

 due to his own mismanagement, must be considered 

 very much below what might have been expected from 

 one of the very best studs in the whole world. 



As to his winnings, there can be no doubt that he 

 won more over Crucifix, when she won the Oaks, than 

 over any other race. On this occasion he seriously 

 crippled the ring, which, amongst other little accom- 

 plishments, he sincerely hoped and tried to break. 

 But the recuperative powers of the magic circle are 

 inexhaustible, and it still reigns supreme, and is likely 

 to hold undisputed sway. In all her two-year-old 

 races, as I have said, Crucifix ran a winner, and in 

 every race he backed her heavily outright and for 

 the Oaks coupled ; repeating the same tactics the 

 following year on the Two Thousand, and One Thou- 

 sand. I see one authority puts him down as having 

 won £20,000 over the Oaks alone. This I consider 

 very much below the mark. If we double the sum 

 and add £60,000 for his winnings on her in other 

 races, we should not be over- shooting it. 



With this outline of the general result of his lord- 

 ship's racing career, I may now offer some interesting 

 particulars of individual races. When Grey Momus 

 won for him the Two Thousand, ridden in straw- 

 coloured satin, Mr. Thornhill's Saint foin was second,
