138 A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH TURF. 



The third heat was most severely disputed between him and Stephen Jefferson, 

 who was on Mr. Peirson's b. h. FffyJiunter, for each had been victorious 

 in one of the previous races. Hesletine ran Jefferson so near the cords that 

 Foxhunters jockey could not use his whip properly, and "the tryers"(says Mr. 

 John Orton, clerk of the course) gave the race to Foxhunter, " but as both riders 

 had shown foul play, and afterwards fought on horseback, many disputes arose 

 among the sportsmen, and it was agreed that the heat should be run over again by 

 Ducluss and Foxhuntcr, which the former won by a clear length. In consequence 

 of Mr. Childers and Mr. Peirson both claiming the prize, a lawsuit ensued, and all 

 bets were agreed to be withdrawn." The four horses entered who had not been 

 distanced, one of whom was Mr. Moore's b. h. Dragon (a popular name !), were then 

 given equal shares in the Cup, and these being bought by the Duke of Rutland (2), 

 the Karl of Carlisle, and Sir William Lowther, the Cup was run for over again in 

 1719. It was then won, on a loth of August, by the Earl of Carlisle's ch. g. Buckktinlcr, 

 by the Bald Galloway, ridden by Match'em Timms Buckhuittcr was a very high- 

 formed gelding, who won many Plates and Stakes at Newmarket, and was used as a 

 trial horse till he was fourteen. He was then sold, and afterwards won no less than 

 eighteen Plates, probably all 4 mile heats. At last he broke his leg, running for a 

 Plate on Salterley Common, after winning the first heat, and he was buried near the 

 scene of the accident, in 1731, close by Stilton churchyard. 



But Frampton was not going to give up racing in Yorkshire because one of his 

 horses had fallen. At the same meeting, on the Wednesday, he entered a dark 

 chestnut for the ^40 Plate for 6-year olds, 10 stone, 4 mile heats, and got the stakes 

 of 10 guineas for winning the first heat, and being second and third respectively in 

 the two next. Even as late as 1722 he entered his bay horse Hip, by the Curwen 

 Bay Barb, for His Majesty's 100 guineas, over Clifton and Rawcliffe Ings, for 6-year 

 olds, 1 2 stone, 4 mile heats ; but he was unsuccessful. Hip was a purchase from 

 Mr. Pelham, and was bred out of a sister to the Hobby Mare (who was by Liter's 

 Turk out of the Duke of Kingston's Piping Peg) in 1716. A sister to Piping Peg 

 had a filly by Hip, which was the dam of Sir A. Hazlerigg's Ringtail Galloivay by 

 the Curwen Bay Barb, which was dam in 1737 of Mr. E. O'Brien's Miss Patch by 

 Lord Halifax's Justice. From this Hobby Mare descend Octavius, Solon, Barcaldine, 

 and Lowland Chief, in the female line, for she was the dam of Broctclesby Betty by the 

 Curwen Bay Barb.
