8o SOLDIER AND SPORTSMAN 



victory in 1788 with Young Flora, referred to 

 above, his black colt by Laurel out of Mourpout 

 by Marske (also ridden by Mangle) came in first, 

 but was disqualified for "jostling" and the race 

 awarded to Lord Fitzwilliam's Pewett. Again, 

 following the disqualification, it has been pointed 

 out to me that in 1790 Lord Hamilton finished 

 second to Mr Goodricke's Ambidexter with a bay 

 colt, brother to Restless (Mangle). In 1791 he had 

 no starter, and Tartar, as before said, won the next 

 year. His lordship therefore in all was successful 

 in four Legers, was disqualified once, and second 

 once, all in seven years. To that splendid record 

 it may be added that when Paragon won in 1786 

 it was the first occasion Lord Hamilton ever had 

 a representative in the race.
