Miss Jummy (1883-1889), is a British mare and broodmare riding horse who won two British Classic Races in 1886. In a career that lasted from July 1885 to September 1886, the mare ran fifteen times and won eight races with spaces ranging from five furlong to one and three quarter miles. As a two-year-old boy in 1885, Miss Jummy won three times from seven starts, but while trying in the highest class she was not replaced behind Triple Crown winner Ormonde in Dewhurst stock. In 1886, Miss Jummy never lost while playing against her own age and gender, winning five races including 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, Oaks at Epsom, Nassau Stake at Goodwood and Park Hill Stakes in Doncaster. He was unsuccessful in open competition, ending at the Grand Prix de Paris and Eclipse Stakes. In late 1886 he retired to study where his record was disappointing.

Miss Jummy is a white star guard raised by her owner, the 12th Duke of Hamilton. He was dominated by Petrarch, a horse who won the 2000 Guineas and St Leger Stakes in 1876. The Petrarch stud was very successful as a man of boys: his other daughters included Busybody (1000 Guineas and Oaks) and Throstle (St. Leger). His dam, Lady Portland, was not a successful racecourse, but was derived from Alice Hawthorn, who won fifty-two races and became an influential master.
Duke of Hamilton named the foal in honor of his friend, Duke of Portland, known to his friends by the nickname of Jumbo or Jummy . The foal was trained at Lordship Farm in Newmarket, Suffolk by Richard Marsh and ridden by his most important victory by John Watts.

Racing career
1885: season two years
At Goodwood on July 28, Miss Jummy made her first appearance at Richmond Stakes. He started 20/1 outsiders and never competed before finishing sixth from seven runners behind Sunrise.
Miss Jummy ran twice at the first meeting of October in Newmarket. He won Ã, Â £ 900 Buckenham Stakes from three opponents including Argo Navis to record his first win, and return later in the week to beat The Cob at Stakes Ã, Â £ 1100 Rutland.
On the opening day of the second October meeting, Miss Jummy ran at Clearwell Stakes Ã,  £ 897. Bringing a weight over 125 pounds, she started at 100/15 in a field consisting of six colts and two fillies. Miss Jummy took the lead in the last quarter of a mile and held off Martinet's final challenge to win a "dodgy" three-quarters. Three days later he reappears in Great Challenge Stakes, a weight race for ages over six furlong. He brought  £ 97 and Watts was replaced by a lightweight jockey. The foal became agitated before starting, and after being among the early leaders, he retreated to complete the fifth of seven runners behind Modwena.
Two weeks later, Miss Jummy returns to Newmarket for the Houghton meeting and begins his second favorite behind Ormonde's unbeaten in seven Dewhurst regions. He reached the third place two furlongs from the finish but faded into sixth place as Ormonde won easily with four long. In his last race of the season he won the Post Later Lot later that week, but was disqualified when he was found carrying the wrong weight.
1886: season three years
Spring
Miss Jummy started her three-year season at The Riddlesworth through a Ditch Mile course at Newmarket Craven meeting in mid-April. He leads from the start and wins with half the length of his only opponent, a mare named Oberon. On April 30th, Miss Jummy started off with 3/1 odds for the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile Newmarket course. Field nine include his former rival Modwena (2/1 favorite), Sunrise and Argo Navis. When the race begins, Sagitta rushes forward and opens twenty longs before straining quickly after half distance. When Sagitta resigns, Watts takes over the leadership of Miss Jummy right in front of Cataract, Argo Navis and Modwena. Miss Jummy boosted her lead in the final and comfortably held off Argo Navis's challenge to win the £ 3,250 prize with one and a half; Jewel Song finished his head in front of Modwena to take third place.
Summer
Four weeks later, Miss Jummy moved to a far place for Oaks over a mile and a half at Epsom. He even became a favorite of money in the field of twelve fillies, with his most serious challenger appearing to be Braw Lass, a foal who had finished coming to Minting on the Central Park Plate. Watts held off favorites at an early stage when the Storm Light set the pace very slowly. Miss Jummy turned straight in fourth place before overtaking Storm Light approaching the final fur round. He won the race easily with a half-length from Argo Navis, who finished strongly after being hampered, with Braw Lass full length behind in the third. The prize for the winner is Ã, £ 3,250.
Nine days after his victory at Epsom, Miss Jummy was sent to France to attend the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp Racecourse. In the field of six colts and two fillies for a £ 4,000 prize, he started 7/2 second favorite behind Minting. He ran in second place for much of a distance of 3000 meters, but was tired on heavy ground and almost pulled by Watts in the closing stages. On the next appearance, Miss Jummy took part in the inaugural launch of Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park, which, with the first prize of £ 10,000, was the most valuable race ever run in England. The race runs more than ten furlongs in weight-to-age, though the winners of certain major races, including Oaks, should bring a seven-pound penalty. He started a 40/1 outsider and finished sixth out of twelve runners behind six-year-old Bendigo. Miss Jummy was sent to Goodwood in late July and ran twice: after a second run to Duke of Westminster Whitefriar's headquarters at Gratwicke Stakes he won ten long Nassau shares from three opposing rivals 11/4, beating Argo Navis to second place. for the fourth time.
Autumn
On September 16, Miss Jummy embarked on a 6/4 favorite for Park Hill Stakes over the St. Leger course and the distance at which she was set to recognize six pounds for her main opponent Argo Navis and the winner of the Yorkshire Philosophy. Miss Jummy tracked down the leaders before taking the lead before the final round. He was soon challenged by Argo Navis and two others racing together throughout the final round with Miss Jummy with a neck on top of his old rival. The 3: 20.5 winning time was almost a second faster than Ormonde recorded, carrying five pounds less, at St. Leger two days earlier.
Mastering career
Miss Jummy is pensioner for stud, but has little success as a nightmare. Miss Jummy produced two foals - Miss Jumbo by Mask and Nobody's Child by Trappist - before her death at the age of six in 1889.
