Though speed mad, the Canterburybred Adelaide Thorpe was considered to be worth taking a risk with in Perth, and in consequence an Australian sportsman purchased her and took her to Western Australia. The trip over and the warmer climate had no beneficial effect on her headpiece.

At a meeting held in honour of the Royal visitors, Adelaide Thorpe left the mark and won handsomely. She is by Our Thorpe from Lady Linton, the dam of Chaos and Serenity.
