Paris (horse)

Paris's former owner, Frank Standish, had the favourite for the race, an unnamed chestnut filly by Mr Teazle who started at 7/2.

The race attracted a large and fashionable crowd including the Prince of Wales with his friends Lord Darlington and Sir John Lade.

The early pace was fast, with Lord Egremont's colt Trafalgar running strongly but John Shepherd on Paris keeping his horse under restraint until the turn into the straight.

On 29 September he ran a 200 guinea match race against the previous year's Derby winner Cardinal Beaufort over the Abingdon Mile course.

[12] Later the same afternoon he started 3/1 second favourite for a Sweepstakes "Across the Flat" (ten furlongs) and finished second to Mr Mellish's colt Smuggler.

[13] Two days later, Lord Foley was able to claim the prize money in a two-mile Subscription race when Paris was the only runner to appear and was allowed to walk over.

[14] Paris was scheduled to take part in a match race against Mr Payne's colt Tudor on 28 October, but failed to appear.

[19] Two days later he ran in a three-mile Sweepstakes for four-year-olds against Thorn, Smuggler and the St Leger winner Fyldener, who was made 7/4 favourite.

[20] On his return to Newmarket, Paris started favourite for a Subscription race on 29 September and finished second to the Duke of Grafton's filly Vanity.
