Lord Orford's b. f. Naiad, 8st. 41b 1 



Duke of Richmond's b. f. Coneiliiition, Sst. 21b 2 



Mr Rog-ers's b. c. Spaniel, 7st. 121b 3 



Mr Wag'staff's b. f. Joan of Arc, 8st. 21b 4 



Mr Hunter's b. c. by Gustavus, out of Sprig-htly, 8st. 21b 5 



Betting" : 5 to 4 agst Spaniel ; 2 to 1 ag-st Conciliation ; and 6 to 1 ag-st Naiad. 



Here Spaniel, the favouiite with only seven stone twelve 

 pounds upon his back, ran a bad third. The Whalebone 

 blood seldom comes into proper form at two years old. 



The next season (1831) showed our little " we d " to be 

 somewhat improved, for the Newmarket Craven Meetino- 

 brought him out on Monday, the 4th of April, as the winner 

 of a Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, for two and 

 three yr olds. — Ab. M. (not quite a mile.) 



Mr Rog'ers's b. c. Spaniel, 2 yrs old, 6st. 121b 1 



Lord Verulam's b. c. Whip, 3 yrs old, 7st. 81b 2 



Lord Anson's b. f. Zillah, 3 yrs old, Bst. 81b 3 



Lord Orford's b. c. Coventry, 3 yrs old, 8st. 101b. ; Lord G. H. Cavendish's br. c. by 

 Godolphin, out of Mouse, 3 yrs old, 8st. 91b. ; His Majesty's ch. f. Frederica, 3 yrs old, 

 8st. 41b. ; Capt Rous's br. c. Steamer, 3 yrs old, 8st. 31b ; Mr Roberts's ch. c. Cloudesley. 

 3 yrs old, 8st. 21b. ; Mr Payne's br. f. Ladybird, 3 yrs old, 7st. 121b. ; Lord Eg'remont's 

 bl. f. by Whalebone, out of Thalestris, 2 yrs old, 7st. 91b. ; Mr Udny's b. h. by Ti-amp, 

 out of Consul's dam, 3 yrs old, 7st. 81b. ; Colonel Russell's Papillotte, 2 yrs old, 7st. 31b. ; 

 Mr Forth's b. f. by Emilius, 2 yrs old, 6st. 121b. ; Duke of Richmond's br. f. Andelia, 2 

 yrs old, 6st. 61b. ; also started, but were not placed. 



At starting Steamer was the favourite at five to one, — 

 Spaniel, with seven to one against him, won very easily ; 

 whilst Whip, the second horse^ received a liberal allowance 

 of his namesake. Spaniel, however, from some cause, either 

 because the lot were all so bad, and he so lightly weighted ; 

 or from his former running ; or from the slashing first ap- 

 pearance of his opponent for the Derby, Riddlesworth, fell 

 back ten points in the betting speculations on the approaching 

 Derby. 



A host of Derby rivals at this time came forward to eclipse 

 the glimmering fame of Spaniel. Lord Jersey's Fillao-ree 

 colt, backed readily at 5 to 2, whipped off the Riddlesworth 

 with such apparent ease, that " Riddlesworth " thenceforth 

 was booked to win the Derby in a canter, whilst Spaniel stood 

 the tenth upon the list, with thirty to one against him.
