Saxton Hall, the Spring Meeting of 1722. At the Spring Meeting of 1723 



^ . „ , , Bobsey, 8st. 81b., won a four-mile match for 200 guineas against 

 Francis Earl of ^ . 



Godolphin. Lord Drogheda's Chanter, gst. ; but at the ensuing Autumn 



Meeting paid forfeit in a match with the Duke of Devonshire's 

 Childers. In 1724, Whitefoot, by Bay Bolton, dam by the Darley 

 Arabian, was probably the best horse belonging to Lord Godolphin 

 at this time. He was never beaten, and won several interesting 

 matches during the following three years, in some of which he 

 conceded as much as 2st. in four and six mile races. With 

 Brocklesby, by Woodcock out of Brocklesby Betty, he won the 

 Subscription Sweepstakes of 20 guineas each, for five-years-old 

 horses carrying gst., at the Spring Meeting of 1728. Morat, by 

 Bay Bolton, won the King's Plate at the Spring Meeting of 1731 ; 

 and likewise won and received forfeit in some more matches. 

 Lath (the first produce of Roxana by the Godolphin Arabian) won 

 a Sweepstakes of 100 guineas each, for four years' old colts and 

 fillies, Sst. 71b. each, four miles, beating ten others, at the Spring 

 His Career on Meeting of I 737 ; and afterwards won two matches. Dismal, by 

 the Godolphin Arabian, dam by the Alcock Arabian, won the 

 Sweepstakes of 100 guineas, for four-years-old colts and fillies, 

 Sst. 71b. each, at the Spring Meeting of 1738, beating ten others; 

 and followed up this victory by winning the King's Plate at 

 Ipswich, on the 13th of June when it seems Lord Godolphin sold 

 him to Mr. South, for whom he won the King's Plate at Guild- 

 ford, on June 12, 1739; the King's Plate at Salisbury, June 26; 

 walked over for the King's Plate at Canterbury, July 18 ; and won 

 the King's Plate at Lincoln, September 3, in that year. It, there- 

 fore, transpires that the two first horses in training, and got by 

 the Godolphin Arabian, were never beaten. Cade, by the same 

 sire, though not so successful, won the King's Plate, for six-years- 

 old horses, I2st., at the October Meeting in the following year; 

 and ran second for a similar plate at the Spring Meeting of 1741. 

 In Lord Godolphin's Molotto, by Whitefoot, a son of his now 

 famous stallion, we find the same blood, in the second degree, 



the Turf.
