 and his training stables went to his son, John Scaife. Another famous Northern jockey 

 was Mangle, who rode first for Isaac Cape at Tupgill near Middleham, whose training 

 establishment he subsequently took on, being responsible for the horses of the Duke 

 of Hamilton and Brandon, the Duke of Norfolk, Mr. Henry Peirse, Mr. William 

 Bethell, Mr. John Pratt and others, with such success that he built a new house and 

 stables at Brecongill, near Ashgill, afterwards occupied by the Dawsons. He won 

 five St. Legers, four for Lord A. Hamilton, whose Paragon, Spadille and Young Flora

won in three successive years, and he was known as " Crying Mangle," perhaps 

 because so much success had spoilt him for bearing up against reverses. His chief 

 jockeys were John Jackson and Benjamin Smith. He died quite blind and very old, 

 in 1831. That Yorkshire was particularly successful about this time may be judged 

 from what was done by James Croft of East Wilton, near Middleham, who learnt his 

 riding under Mr. John 1'Anson, of Newmarket, but went back to his own moors to 

 train, where he prepared Fil/w da Puta, The Duchess, and Jerry, besides Theodore, in 

 whose St. Leger the first four horses all came from the same stable.
