ANALOGOUS CASES: GREEN SLEEVES AND GAMOS. 159 
never won afterwards. ester, again, for whom even money 
was taken for the Oaks, was like Macgregor unplaced; and 
she was a good mare as a two-year-old, and even at three 
won the One Thousand. . 
Lastly, there is Gamos. In 1869 this mare, then a two- 
year-old, wins six races out of the eight she runs for. In 
the following spring she is, at Bath, beaten so easily in 
indifferent company, that her jockey has to pull her up, 
and she does not pass the winning-post. Yet in the next 
week, in the hands of the very same jockey, she wins the 
Oaks! Surely this case will be allowed to be the strangest 
of all I have mentioned; yet it was but a day’s wonder, 
whilst the cases of Lady Elizabeth and some others have 
been in the mouths of the racing-public for months. With 
such examples, one must think that racing with them, like 
kissing with others, must go by favour.
