'THE GILLIE'S' DEAD -HE AT 285 



so good as The Wizard, he must have lost ; just as Tra- 

 ducer, had he, in his year, nothing better to beat than 

 Cynricus, must have won. Traducer, after winning a 

 race for us at Chester, was sold for 1,500 to Lord 

 William Powlett, as I have stated. 



I stood more money outright, i.e., without hedging a 

 shilling, on The Gillie, at Goodwood, for the Nursery 

 there, than I ever did on any other race. How far I was 

 justified the trial will show. The following are the 

 horses that took part in it, and the weights each carried : 



The Gillie, 2 yrs., 8 st. 7 lb. - - - -1 



Muezzin, 2 yrs., 7 st. 5 lb. 2, 



Surbiton Hill, 3 yrs., 7 st. 3 



Salisbury, 2 yrs., 6 st. - - - - - 4 



Ground good going after a recent rain. Won by a length; 

 three lengths and a length, respectively, separating the 

 others. Distance, one mile. All the horses were in 

 good form at the time. Muezzin had won the New 

 Two-year-old Stakes at Epsom Spring Meeting, beating 

 Orphan, that had the day before won the Two-year-old 

 Stakes, and Le Marechal, a good horse that afterwards 

 won the Gimcrack Stakes at York. On the day of the 

 race Elcho, one of mine, won the Metropolitan, with 

 Caractacus second, the winner at the next Epsom meet- 

 ing of the Derby. The Waterloo Plate I won with Lord 

 Coventry's colt by Mildew out of Underhand' 's dam, and 

 the Balaclava Stakes with a filly of my own by Tadmor 

 out of Fortune-teller, beating fourteen others. These 

 were the only four horses I ran that day, proving my 

 trying tackle was to be relied on ; and yet Brick, at 

 their respective weights, was as good as mine, for we 

 ran a dead-heat. We divided the stakes, and the bets 

 were, of course, put together and divided, each taking 

 half in the usual way.
