38o JOHN PORTER OF KINGSCLERE 



Memorial at Newmarket. Both won races as 

 three-year-olds. 



Collar, a colt by St. Simon out of Ornament, 

 won his first two races as a three-year-old — the 

 Trial and Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot; then, 

 after two unsuccessful outings, he was sold to 

 go to South Africa, where he won several times 

 before going to the stud. After Sceptre, who 

 was three-parts sister to him, had revealed her 

 brilliance, Collar was brought back to England 

 by Mr. William Allison, and for the remainder 

 of his life was located at the Cobham Stud. He 

 got a host of winners, some of them quite useful. 



By St. Serf out of Sandiway, Calveley won four 

 small races as a three-year-old, but did not attain 

 his best form until the following season, when he 

 won the Esher Stakes, the Chesterfield Cup at 

 Goodwood (in which his stable companion Her- 

 miston was second), and the Great Yorkshire 

 Handicap and Cup at Doncaster. In his only 

 other outing, a ;^iooo Handicap at Kempton, 

 he was placed second. The Duke then sold 

 him to the late Sir John Thursby, who, after 

 failing to get a race out of him — Calveley event- 

 ually broke down — parted with him to the 

 Germans, for whom he did well as a sire. 



Batt was a brown colt by Sheen out of Vampire, 

 and therefore a half-brother to Flying Fox, about 

 whom I shall have a good deal to say in the next 

 chapter. The first of his races as a two-year-old
