June 13th. Coventry Stakes, Ascot; 1st (Sloan), £1,826, beating H.R.H. Prince of Wales’s horse, Diamond Jubilee, ridden by Watts. July 1st. Hurst Park Foal Plate, Hurst Park; 1st (Sloan), £1,135.

The Dewhurst Plate, Newmarket, Houghton; 1st (Sloan), £1,432; Prince of Wales’s Diamond Jubilee 2nd. THREE YEAR OLD RUNNING, 1900 May 30th. Epsom Derby. Democrat ran but was not placed, the race being won by Diamond Jubilee, but this time Sloan was not riding Democrat, but one called Disguise for another owner, and was severely reprimanded for this breach of Rule 140, forbidding crossing. June 14th. The New Biennial, Ascot. Democrat not placed; ridden by Weldon. Sloan rode the winner, Courlan. Oct. 9th. The Royal Stakes, Newmarket; 1st (L. Reiff), £586. This was Democrat’s last win; he ran later at Liverpool for the Autumn Cup, but was not placed. I am under the impression that the last time Lord William’s colours were seen on a racecourse was at Manchester, when his Billow II, bred in Australia, won the Autumn Plate, ridden by Reiff. Jolly Tar won six races in 1900. The year Democrat won the Coventry Stakes at Ascot (1899) Lord William was standing outside the “Blues’” tent after luncheon talking to some of his friends, amongst others Sir Claude de Crespigny, discussing the merits of the different horses, when he was heard to say apparently as much to himself as his friends, “It’s all very well their making the Prince’s horse (Diamond Jubilee) favourite; mine has just as good a chance of winning.” This was repeated to some of the “Blues,” who had not been having a very good time over the Trial Stakes, adding, the Royal horse is at evens and Bill’s at three’s, they selected the latter and landed the long odds. After this they told Sir Claude if he had another good tip like that for the next day they hoped he would come and have luncheon again. Sloan was never a great admirer of Democrat, why I do not know, as the horse proved himself one of the best of his years.
