PARADOX 



In 1884 my list of patrons was enlarged, for Mr. 

 Brodrick Cloete joined the stable. He had only 

 a few horses in training, but among them was 

 Cherry, a beautiful little chestnut filly by Sterling 

 out of Cherry Duchess. As a two-year-old she 

 was owned by Mr. R. S. Evans, whose horses 

 were trained by Tom Brown at Newmarket. 

 Mr. Cloete bought her for j^2ooo just after she 

 had won the Cheveley Stakes, her only race as a 

 juvenile. From Kingsclere she went the follow- 

 ing year to win the Epsom Grand Prize, the 

 Kempton Grand Prize, and the Knowsley Dinner 

 Stakes at Liverpool — three races worth ;^4789. 

 She ended her days in Germany. 



But, so far as his association with Kingsclere 

 is concerned, Mr. Cloete came into prominence 

 chiefly by the aid of Paradox, a bay colt by 

 Sterling out of Casuistry, by The Miner. He 

 was bred by the Grahams at Yardley. In 

 September 1876 Lord Rosebery bought, for 800 

 guineas. Lady Caroline (by Orlando) and her filly 

 foal by The Miner. The foal was Casuistry,
