DENMAEK (BOUEDASS') 177 



Denmark was a chestnut horse, I'ri, bred bj' William 

 Eickell, Warter Wold, Pocklington. He was foaled in 1862, 

 by Sir Charles (Beal's) 768, out of a mare by Merryman 1309 

 by Lund's Merrylegs 449. His dam was 23 years old when, 

 with Denmark a foal at her foot, she won the first prize at the 

 Great Yorkshire Show at Driffield. The great majority of 

 the most fashionable hackneys of the present day have de- 

 scended from this hoise. 



Among his more famous sons are Confidence (Moore's) 163, 

 Danegelt 174 (for which Sir Walter Gilbey gave 5000 guineas), 

 Dorrington 184, Lord Derwent 418 (a great prize-winner). 

 Candidate 920, Dorrington II 950, Connaught 1453, Eitualist 

 1542, and others. 



Among his more famous daughters are Princess 289, Lady 

 Dorothy 185, Sovereign 325, Lady Watton II 470, Apology 

 527, Lady Mary II 464, Sweetbriar 514, Nelly III 800, 

 Countess 424, Primrose 827, and Ophelia 1301. 



Denmark won a number of prizes in Yorkshire between 

 1865 and 1876, but his achievements at the stud were greater 

 than in the show ring.
