A ROYAL SPORTSMAN Constant failure often causes owners to lose interest in racing. A few wins revive it, and though, a couple of seasons ago, when horses in the Royal colours won only three races, of the total value of £536, it was said King George was tiring of the sport, the ownership of a smart filly in Scuttle has put a different complexion on affairs. On this point “Rapier” was emphatic in a recent issue of the “Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.” “Of one thing I am quite certain,” he wrote, “the King is unquestionably more interested in the breeding and racing of horses than ever before. His Majesty’s interest has grown and kept pace \vith his more intimate understanding of a subject that the wisest men can never know enough of. Naturally, the King is primarily concerned with the welfare of his own horses, and, after that, with those bred and owaed by his son-in-law. Viscount Lascelles. His Majesty made a special journey from London to Newmarket to see three of his horses compete on the July course. Time was, I think, when any other engagement would have been regarded as of more importance. Recently on that July course, on which Court etiquette is relaxed and stiff formality largely waived, I have seen the King standing by the auctioneer and note every detail during the selling of a two-year-old selling plater for a big price. I have seen him walk down the course when a race is finished below the stands and take a place inside the tiny little enclosure which is scrupulously reserved for the judge. I have noted, too, how the King not only moves into the plantation to watch the saddling of one of his own horses about to run, but should it have won, look on it again inside the unsaddling enclosure for winners, and then congratulate trainer and jockey while the winner is being rubbed down, sheeted, and sent home to the Eger ton.
