280 THE ENGLISH TURF 



John Porter sold Sainfoin, whom he owned in partnership 

 with Sir Robert Jardine, to Sir James Miller for jCy,ooo, and 

 the colt promptly won the Derby for his new owner. In 

 this case the purchase was a good one, for to win the Derby 

 ought to be the height of every racehorse-owner's ambition ; 

 but the horse reached his full value, his form after the Derby 

 having been most moderate, and so far he has done little at 

 the stud. For Childwick Sir J. Blundell Maple gave 6,000 

 guineas privately, and the colt won the Caesarewitch, and is 

 meeting with a fair measure of success at the stud.
