Betting' : even on Archibald, 7 to 2 agst Galata, 7 to 2 ag-st Emiliana. 



Archibald's running in the October Meeting, 1832, when 

 opposed to Margrave and Beiram, had made some people 

 reckon him a clipper, and under this delusion he was backed 

 at even against the field, although that field included the 

 best and most frequent winner of her year, Galata. Galata, 

 however, opened the eyes of " the poor blind," by giving 

 her opponents the coup de grace, in the best style imaginable, 

 and running in by herself at least fifty yards a-head, with a 

 terrible "tale of woe" behind her. 



At the ensuing Ascot Meeting she met old Lucetta, for 

 the Gold Cup, value 200 sovs., a subscription of 20 sovs. 

 each; three yr olds, 6st. lOlb. ; four, 8st. 21b.; five, 8st. 

 121b. ; six and aged, 9st. 31b. ; m. allowed 31b. ; the owner 

 of the second horse to receive back his stake. — To start at 

 the Cup post on the New Mile and go once round, about 

 two miles and a half. — Eight subs. 



Lord Exeter's br. f. Galata, by Sultan, 4 yrs old 1 



Sir M. Wood's br. m. Lucetta, aged 2 



The Betting was three to one on Galata, who sprung off 

 with a tremendous lead, and at a pace which soon put a 

 stopper on the old mare, and brought her in a winner by ten 

 lengths. 



In the Newmarket Second October Meeting Galata re- 

 ceived forfeit from Crutch, for a Match of 200 sovs. each, 

 h. ft. — and thus closed the season 1833, as she began it — 

 with all her winning ways about her.
