The York Race Cup of 1861, valued at £200 was won by Mr. A. Nichol’s The Wizard, by West Australian and daughter of The Cure. As The Wizard was the only horse to appear at the post for the race, he won as a walk-over. Despite The Wizard’s uncontested win at the York Cup, he was regarded “by a good many competent judges to be the finest race-horse which the century had produced up to his day” (see J. S. Fletcher, The History of the St. Leger Stakes, 1902, p. 321.)
