In a two horse race, Frigid started odds-on and made al the running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn early big winner was Velocity in the 1905 Cambridgeshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVelocity seemed to walk lame in the paddock - on the inside of his thigh he had a large lump, probably the result of a kick - but he galloped to the post freely enough. Velocity was inclined to show temper at the start, not helped by Bibiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere was considerable delay at the post, pricipally due to Bibiana's refusal to face the barrier. When they eventually got away, it was Velocity, adorned in hood and blinkers, who made the early running. The King attended the meeting, and watched as Velocity and Arthur held on to win by a length from Santry. There were eighteen runners, one more than the previous year, when Hackler's Pride had won for the second year in succession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eArthur won the 1905 Derby Cup on Catscradle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe race was run on Thursday 16 November 1905. The race distance was this year increased to a mile and six furlongs making it almost a replica of the Cesarewitch. Curiously, the three horses most in demand in the betting ring were all drawn on the unfavourable outside: Burgundy (1), Pradella (2) and Imari (3). Cape Verde bolted on the way up, and ran to the top of the hill before being caught.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eArthur Templeman won the 1906 Victoria Cup on Catapault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHis last winner was Silver Thrush at Ripon on May 9, 1914.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eArthur's last ever ride came on New York at Windsor on November 6, 1914.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe went to India to ride and later took up training there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe also rode one winner in Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHis brothers Fred \u0026amp; Clark (1885-1953) were also jockeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTheir father William (c1858-1914) went bankrupt in 1898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eArthur died at Twickenham on April 23, 1938.
