In that year she won all but three of her
races - including seven walk-overs - in
a crushing schedule - and in those three
non-winning races, she ran second once,
dead-heated once, and paid forfeit once.
She began by running second for the
Chester Cup, beaten by Red Deer in a
field of twenty-five. She then won £100
in a race in which she beat Philip, who,
the next day, won the Cheshire Stakes,
and six others. She then embarked on
another succession of wins all over the
north and in the south; in a number of
cases, there were no challengers, and
she enjoyed walk-overs. Alice Hawthorn
was certainly acclaimed as the premier
racehorse of the season; apart from this
trophy, she won many more over her
career on the turf.
