KENTUCKY DERBY 33 



DESCRIPTION OF WINNER 



Buchanan is a good chestnut with a small star, and stands full 

 16 hands high. He is a very handsome colt, with a level and 

 symmetrical frame on sound legs. The most fastidious critic 

 could but be pleased with his general formation and racing-like 

 look. He was bred jointly by Capt. Cottrill, Mobile, Ala., and 

 J. W. Guest, Danville, Ky. The latter sold his half interest to 

 Capt. Cottrill, who in turn sold a half interest in him and his 

 stable in training to Capt. S. S. Brown of Pittsburgh, Pa. This 

 is Buchanan's maiden win. He started six times at two years 

 old, was second five times and third once. He has started twice 

 at three years old. He was unplaced in the Belle Meade Stakes 

 at Nashville, 1% miles. He bolted and finished second but 

 second place was given to Exploit on a claim of a foul, and won 

 the Derby above. He has twenty-four additional three-year-old 

 engagements. He is by Buckden, out of Mrs. Grigsby by Wag- 

 ner, her dam Folly by Imp. Yorkshire, out of Imp. Fury by 

 Imp. Priam, &c.
