THROSTLE AND MATCHBOX 375 



on the Turf he won the July Stakes at Newmarket 

 and the Ham Stakes at Goodwood; in each of 

 the other three races in which he ran that year 

 he finished second — to Nenemoosha at Ascot, to 

 St. Frusquin at Sandown, and to Santa Maura 

 at Goodwood. The following year he showed 

 consistent form and proved himself quite a good 

 stayer. A week after he had finished third in 

 the trial in which Omladina cut up so badly he 

 ran third to St. Frusquin and Love Wisely in 

 the Two Thousand Guineas. At Ascot he won 

 a Triennial, and then, after three other successes, 

 and a failure in the Eclipse Stakes, was a good 

 second to Persimmon in the St. Leger. Indeed, 

 he that day gave the backers of the Prince's horse 

 rather a fright. Persimmon, however, cannot 

 have been himself at Doncaster. Labrador ran 

 and won three times more that season, his last 

 outing being in the Champion Stakes, in which 

 he defeated Marco, Sir Visto, and Whittier. 

 When four years of age he won a Triennial at 

 Ascot, was third for the Liverpool Summer and 

 Autumn Cups, and second for the Goodwood 

 Cup to Count Schomberg. Kept in training for 

 another season, he failed to maintain his reputation. 

 Inasmuch, however, as the ten races he won were 

 worth ;^93i55 he paid his way well, and was not 

 the least successful of the offspring of Ornament. 

 Regret, a colt by Sheen out of Farewell, was 

 another product of the Eaton Stud. Like his dam.
