GALATA.— 1834. 45 



In the Newmarket Craven Meeting, 1834, Galata was 

 overweighted and beaten, for the Oatlands Stakes of 50 

 sovs. each. h. ft. — D.I. — Twelve subs. 



Sir M. Wood's br. f. Vespa, by Muley, 4 yrs old, 7st. 41b 1 



Duke of Cleveland's ch. h. Trustee, 5 yrs old, 8st. 101b 2 



Duke of Portland's b. c. by Lottery, out of Pledg-e, 4 yrs old, Tst. 31b 3 



Lord Exeter's br. m. Galata, 5 yrs old, 9st. 21b. ; Mr S. Stonehewer's ch. f. Chantilly, 

 4 yrs old, 7st. 111b. ; Mr Walker's b. f. Anne, 4 yrs old, 7st. 111b. ; and Colonel Peel's 

 b. f. Malibran, 4 yrs old, 6st. 131b. ; also started, but were not placed. 



4 to 1 ag-st Malibran, 9 to 2 agst Trustee, 5 to 1 agst Chantilly, 5 to 1 agst Galata, and 

 8 to 1 ag-st Vespa. 



Galata led off at a pace which could scarcely carry her 

 through with such a lump of weight on her back ; accord- 

 ingly after passing the turn of the lands she died away, all 

 the light weights taking up front places, except Vespa, who 

 laid behind them, watching Trustee, then looking amazingly 

 like winning ; on passing the Duke's Stand, and much 

 sooner than is his wont, Chifney brought out his horse 

 (Trustee), and seemed to think that he was going to " do 

 the trick," — he was, therefore, not a little surprised to find 

 Vespa at his side almost as soon as he had left the other 

 horses, and still more mortified than surprised, to find that 

 she was beating him at even strides — and that all his efforts 

 could not prevent her winning by two honest lengths. F^r 

 two-thirds of the distance Vespa laid right in the wake of 

 Trustee, much to the annoyance of the " old one," who had 

 a mortal objection to anything running behind him in the 

 early part of a race ; Sir Mark, too, was in a fidget, being 

 heard to cry out to Chappie, " D — n your nonsense, why 

 don't you go on?" — but he was wise enough to " bide his 

 time," — and when he did go on, it was to such effect that 

 all Sam's efforts to bring up Trustee were vain. 



At Ascot, Galata determined to *' attempt" another Cup, 

 having been so successful with the last. But for the nonce 

 fate was against her, and Glaucus was destined to convey 

 from her hands, to the sideboard of his noble owner, the 

 Gold Cup, value 300 sovs. with 440 in specie.
