| In April of 1726 she won the Gold Cup at Newmarket. In August of that
year she placed 3rd in the King's Plate at York, and in October she
again placed 3rd in the King's Plate at Newmarket. In 1727 she won a 40
guineas plate at Preston, in which she carried 10 stone. She later
finished 2nd at Bakewell in a £30 plate. In 1731 at Beverley she lost a
25 guineas plate. It was a fairly common occurence in those days for
mares to be used in the stud both before and during training. |
