Trained at Epsom by former Flat jockey Tommy Gosling, the four-year-old had run six times that season and been placed three times, with Andy in the saddle on each occasion. Now, in a close finish, the pair finally earned their reward, beating Midnight Star, the mount of top jockey Johnny Haine, who had already won two races that Whit Monday afternoon, by a neck, with Andy Andrews on Macedonia just a further neck away in third.

Parthian Prince never ran again, and Andy O’Callaghan relinquished his licence in August 1967. He briefly renewed it for the 1968/69 campaign but rode no more winners.
