Bayuda (horse)

Bayuda was a "small", but "handsome"[2] bay mare bred in England by Lady James Douglas, who owned her during her racing career.

When matched against male opposition in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse in September, she finished three quarters of a length second to the season's best juvenile colt The Panther with Galloper Light (later to win the Grand Prix de Paris) in third.

[6] In October, ridden by Joe Childs, she started the 11/10 favourite for Cheveley Park Stakes over six furlongs at the same track and reportedly won "in a canter",[7] from Beresina and Mapledurham.

Starting the 7/2 second choice in the betting she led till half way but then faded[2] and finished fourth behind Roseway, Britannia and Glaciale.

After racing towards the rear of the field in the early stages as Britannia set the pace from Lady Pergrine, Beresina and Roseway, but began to make rapid progress approaching the final turn.
