She won the Kempton Park Breeders' Foal' Plate, and up to a mile is credited with being a particularly fast filly. R. Marsh, trainer to the King, nearly landed a classic double with Minoru and Princess de Galles. The latter ran six times last season,' her record being four firsts and a second. Her best wins were the Chesterfield Stakes, at the Newmarket July meeting, and the Ham Stakes, at Goodwood.

In this event Perola beat Electra at level weights by a short head over a six furlongs course. "My appetite's bad — canH seem to improve it." Try Steams' Wine o£ Cod Liver Extract.
