The following is an account of the 1851 Goodwood Cup from the Sporting Magazine: We have now arrived at the event of the day par excellence ...The Goodwood Cup, value 300 sovereigns. This lot furnished a field of half a score with final odds: Nancy, 2 to 1 against her; 9 to 4 Cariboo, 9 to 2 Cossack. Cariboo was the first at work when the flag fell, the ruck close behind him. No change of any account occurred till at the mile-post, Cariboo showed in the van; but the speed was obviously a very low average, the whole of them being still upon good terms. As they ascended the hill the favourite drew towards the front, and consequently forced the rate of running. As they faced you, coming down the fall to the rails, it seemed that the pace had unfolded its tale — or tail — for, save Nancy and Cossack, all were out of it and the filly had it apparently her own way. Between the Stand and the Chair, however, Alfred Day made a rush with Cossack that for some cause or other looked as if it had put the result in jeopardy — ultimately Nancy winning cleverly by a head. Canaeus, the third, was a couple of lengths from Cossack. I refrain from any comments on the result. It is manifest that the best animal in the race won it, and that I take to be the end and purpose of the turf. About this time, the stewards having gone into a “case” alleged against Nancy for the Cup—namely, that she was the property of “notorious defaulters“ — came to the subjoined resolution: “The stewards, having investigated the objections to Nancy’s qualification to start for the Goodwood Cup, are of opinion that she is entitled to run.” .... know no more of Mr. Martinson than I do of the man in the moon (if there be one there, which is very doubtful); but this I must say, if he were as big a rogue as Jonathan Wild, instead of an upright inhabitant of Hull, as I am assured he is, he would be justified in denouncing the treatment to which he has been subjected as anything but English fair...
