26 Aug 1790 - 2nd Great Subscription Purse [6yo division] York (6/5, giving away his year, to Dubskelper 3/1)
Won on 21 Oct 1791 having run last as favourite the previous day, raising suspicions
over riding of jockey Samuel Chifney, the Jockey Club telling the Prince of Wales that if he continued to retain Chifney no gentleman would race against him; to his credit the Prince stuck by Chifney and himself withdrew from turf ownership instead
Named Escape because as yearling he kicked out in his box and got his foot stuck between wooden boards. His grooms managed to free him uninjured
