The International Duel at Doncaster.- Val D'or and Cherry Lass, the St. Leger Favourites. 1905.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News," September 2nd, 1905, showing the Following Horseracing Photographs for "The International Duel at Doncaster.- Val D'or and Cherry Lass, the St. Leger Favourites."

   a- Val D'or, by  Flying Fox-Wandora, and his Owner, Mr. Edmund Blanc.
Val D'or  was unbeaten as a Two-year-old, and met his first defeat in the Grand Prix de Paris this year.  His defeat of Cicero in the Eclipse Stakes last July aroused great fear that the St. Leger of 1905 might also go to France.

   b- Cherry Lass, by Isinglass-Black Cherry, and her Owner, Mr. W. Hall Walker.
Cherry Lass won the Oaks last June in 1  3-5sec. less than Cicero had taken two days previously when beating Jardy in the Derby, and this although Lord Rosebery's horse had set up a fresh record in the great race.  The times of both performances were reduced by Pretty Polly's marvellous 2min. 33 4-5sec. over the same course on the day between the Derby and the Oaks.

Condition is Very Good.
