This was 1864, the eighth year of Longchamp, the second of the Grand Prix. The first running had confirmed France's worst fears about internationalizing a classic race. But in the second Henry Delamare's Vermout, by The Nabob (third from left, ridden by Kitchener) bear Lagrange's Oaks winner Fille de l'Aire, French-bred by Faugh-a-Ballagh (far left, ridden by Edwards) with William l'Anson's Derby Blair Athol by Stockwell (Challoner) only third. Tom Challoner is said to have been unnerved by the Anglophobe French crowd, but all the other jockeys were English too.
