It was the general opinion that Glenartney could 

 have won this year's Derby, and it was commonly 

 remarked that few instances had occurred of two 

 such horses having been bred in one year by the 

 same owner. That his noble owner thought highly 

 of this horse may be readily inferred, from the 

 fact of his refusing 5000 gs. for him, after this 

 race, although he sold Mameluke during the 

 Ascot Meeting, to Mr. Gully, for 4000 gs. As 

 our authority for the first part of this statement, 

 we will quote the editorial description of this race, 

 given in the Old Sporting Magazine.
