Won by a French horse Left in by Accident : Kandy wins the 1000 Guineas. 1932.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, May 7th, 1932," showing a Photograph called "Won by a French Horse left in by Accident :  Kandy Wins the 1000 Guineas."

Racing is a sport which continually produces the unexpected.  It is true that last week the 2000 Guineas was won by a hot favourite, but two days later the 1000 Guineas (worth some £8,000) was won by a horse which was left in the race by accident and which started at 33 to 1 against.  M. de St. Alary intended to take Kandy out of the race but, finding that that had not been done, sent her across the channel a week before the race.  She had not run as a two-year-old and had lost in France this season.  It would be impossible for an English owner to send his runner over for the French Oaks, as their classics are closed to foreign animals, whereas we in England hold on to Free Trade in that respect at any rate.   In our picture Kandy is the second filly from right.


Condition is Very Good.
