I | | I I Miss Dorothy Paget Silks Borne to Windsor Triple Sportswomans Stable Loses Fourth Race in Neck Finish NEWMARKET, England. — The Bank Holiday meeting at Windsor proved a red-letter day for our staunchest feminine supporter of racing, Miss Dorothy Paget, whose blue, yellow hoops on body and sleeves, yellow cap, with blue hoop silks were borne to victory in three of the eight races to feature the card. Miss Pagets chief success was easily gained by her classic aspirant Straight Deal in the one mile Upper Sixpenny three-year-old stakes. The bay son of So-lario and Good Deal won in runaway style from somewhat weak opposition. In the same race another classic aspirant in Sir Malcolm McAlpines First Edition, a brown son of Early School and Atmosphere ran below expectations. Miss Pagets other successes were gained by her unnamed filly, by Colombo, out of Mrs. Pumpkin, in the Baines Pool Plate, for two-year-olds, run over a distance of five furlongs, over which same straight course her unnamed two-year-old filly by Colombo, out of Charwoman, won the Cannon Yard Stakes, Division II. In the Cannon Yard Stakes, Division I., her homebred colt, by Wyndham, out of Solopol, was beaten a neck by J. V. Ranks Scottish Mist, a son of Scottish Union, one of the first colts by the 1938 St. Leger Stakes winner to carry silks. The same afternoon in Ireland Miss Paget had taken her revenge on Mr. Rank, as her useful steeplechaser Golden Jack, in receipt of thirty-three pounds from the champion Prince Regent, carrying 175 pounds and the Rank silks, scored a four-length victory in the three and a half-mile Irish Grand National Handicap Steeplechase at Fairy House, County Dublin. In the same race the year previous Golden Jack, in receipt of but twelve pounds from Prince Regent, was defeated a length and a half. However, in the interim, "Prince Regent has been his master on many occasions. By winning the Irish Grand National Golden Jack, a seven-year-old unsexed son of Goldcount and Jacaru gave Miss Paget, one of the most liberal patrons of the Irish turf, two of its most coveted steeplechases. He also won the historic Galway Plate Handicap last year.
