Bell

Fifteen runners faced the starter, none other than Lord George Bentinck himself, for the 1843 Goodwood Stakes, ran on Wednesday 26 July, and, after a splendid set-to between Scalteen and Lucy Banks, each a 4-y-o carrying 7st 7lb, it was the latter, ridden by Bell, which struggled across the line first by a neck though palpably dying away with each stride.
