Prix Hocquart
As a three-year-old, Carroll House was ridden in all but one of his races by the jockey Bruce Raymond. In the spring he finished third in both the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket and the Prix Hocquart at Longchamp Racecourse before being sent to Italy to contest the Derby Italiano over 2400 metres at Capannelle Racecourse in Rome. Racing on soft ground he was beaten a short head by the locally trained Tisserand six length clear of the rest of the field. Following this race, Carroll House was bought by the Italian Antonio Balzarini.
