CELEBRATED GREYHOUNDS OF THE PAST 135 



1 Spelt by Thacker ' Koket.' 



Bed of Stone, who won the Waterloo Cup in 1872, was 

 certainly a remarkable bitch, and showed to great advantage 

 on the Altcar Flats. She gradually worked her way to the 

 pinnacle of a greyhound's fame, for she won the Purse in 1870 

 and the Plate in 1871. Her pedigree is full of the blood of 

 Waterloo winners, and that of King Cob crops up on both sides. 

 Her dam, Imperatrice, is a granddaughter of Judge, and her 

 sire, Portland, a great-grandson of the triple winner Cerito.
