1835 THE LORDS 205 



Buckingham's Helmsley Turk, bred by the Lord- 

 Protector Cromwell's stud-groom, one Mr. Place. His 

 famous horses included the two Middletons (chestnut 

 by Phantom, and bay by Sultan), Mameluke, and 

 Glenartney. The chestnut Middleton (like Amato in 

 1838) was a case of ' Veni, vidi, vici,' for he came out 

 for the first and only time in 1825, won the Derby, 

 and disappeared from public life. Glenartney was his 

 own brother, and, according to public statement at the 

 time, could not have lost the Derby of 1827, for which 

 Lord Jersey started his other ' crack,' Mameluke also, 

 and won with this other, whereat there was a great 

 outcry. There had been no ' declaration ' ; but, on 

 the contrary, it was publicly stated that Lord Jersey's 

 jockeys had positive orders to run independently. 

 Still, as Lord Jersey and his friends were supposed to 

 have derived advantage from the result, there was, 

 of course, much unpleasantness and sarcastic con- 

 gratulation, especially when Lord Jersey refused 

 5,000 guineas for Glenartney after the race and sold 

 Mameluke for 4,000 guineas at Ascot. On the other 

 hand, Mameluke is known to have been a most un- 

 generous, uncertain brute, but a * tickler ' when in the 

 mood ; and, moreover, a jockey (and that jockey the 

 notorious Harry Edwards) may think sometimes that 

 he may disobey orders if that will win his employer's 

 bets (and his own). 



Lord Jersey won the Derby in 1825, 1827, and 

 1836, with Middleton, Mameluke, and Bay Middleton ;
