THE TURF in 



stakes at the Spring Meeting, 1832; and 

 Liverpool, of the gold cup. The duke is 

 one of the heaviest bettors on the turf; and 

 few men know more of racing, or indeed of 

 anything relating to the sports of the turf or 

 field. 1 The Duke of Richmond has been 

 one of the most zealous supporters of the 

 turf, having expended a very large sum on 

 the racecourse at Goodwood, now the first 

 country meeting in England, after Epsom, 

 Ascot, and Doncaster. His grace has been 

 a considerable winner, but his stud is 

 greatly diminished. He won the Oaks, 

 with Gulnare, in 1827, and has had quite 

 his share of success, being remarkable for 

 very seldom bringing out a bad racer. 



The Lord of Exeter stands first of the 

 Marquises on the turf. His lordship has 

 been a great winner, having carried the 

 Oaks with Augusta, Green Mantle, and 

 Galata, and many of the good things at 

 Newmarket and elsewhere ; but, somewhat 

 extraordinary, he has never been a winner 

 of the Derby. He breeds much from the 

 famous stud-horse, Sultan, his own property, 



1 His grace has a capital two-year-old this year in his 

 stable by Voltaire out of Matilda.
