10th in the St. Leger, as the odds-on favorite, and at the end of the race he came off the track lame. Later it was determined he had sprained his knee, probably in the moments before the race even began, when his jockey for all three races, the famous Steve Donoghue, had to pull him up sharply to prevent a mishap enroute to the starting post.
