 In the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on 20 July , Ladas met Isinglass again , this time over ten furlongs on soft ground . Isinglass started favourite at 4 / 5 ( 0 @.@ 8 / 1 ) with Ladas on 13 / 8 ( 1 @.@ 6 / 1 ) and the other runners , who included Raeburn , Ravensbury and a filly named Throstle virtually ignored . The outsider Priestholme set off at an unsustainably fast pace , followed by Isinglass , with Watts restraining Ladas towards the rear . Priestholme dropped away in the straight , leaving Isinglass in the lead with Watts moving Ladas up to challenge . The two Derby winners dominated the race in the closing stages but in spite of a " game pursuit " , Ladas was unable to overhaul Isinglass , who won by a length with the rest of the field , headed by Throstle , well beaten . There were no excuses for Ladas : Watts admitted that he had been beaten by a better horse .
