 Muley, won the Derby in 1840. Crucifix, one of the three Oaks 

 winners got by Priam, produced SURPLICE, who won the Derby 

 and the St. Leger in 1848. 



Imp JUNIPER, by Babraham, won 14 of 18 races and ran 

 second in the four he lost. 



GIMCRACK, a winner, himself, of 28 of 37 races, passed his 

 winning abilities on to succeeding generations in America, through 

 his sons Medley and Clockfast. Medley, like Sir Archy, could get

 six or seven years later than Medley, was out of a mare by Regulus. 

 Lady Lightfoot, Black Maria, Tuckahoe and Boston were among 

 Clockfast's distinguished descendants.

 of which were of 4-mile heats, 3 of 3-mile heats. His two defeats 

 were in 3-mile heat races. His contest with Aratus and Creeping 

 Kate, 3-mile heats, at Charleston, was one of the most famous in the 

 history of the turf. Aratus and Creeping Kate "combined" against 

 Bertrand. In the first heat Kate ran so as to hold her distance 

 only, leaving Aratus to take the first heat, which he did by half a 

 length, in a desperate struggle in which he and Bertrand were never 

 separated a length. In the second heat Aratus ran so as to hold his 

 distance only, leaving Kate to take the heat, which she did by 

 half a length. It was now up to Bertrand. He took the track and 

 kept it, beating Kate by a length, Aratus again running behind to 

 keep himself fresh for the next heat. Kate was then withdrawn 

 and Aratus came forward to finish Bertrand who had run under
