For the French Derby, run on May 28, there were 11 starters. Of Baron A. de Schickler’s two colts, Chene Royal and Fra Angelico, the first named had the market call at 2 to 1, and with the issue fought out by the pair, the verdict was a length in favour of the son of Narcisse, who covered the course (one mile and a half) in 2min 34sec. The value of the stakes was £5027.
