MARGRAVE SENT TO VIRGINIA. 



51 



pounds extra weig'ht, and Jem Robinson again upon his back, 

 floored Julius without difficulty. Betting, 5 to I on Margrave. 



In the Newmarket First October Meeting, he won the 

 Grand Duke Michael Stakes of 50 sovs. each, p.p., fifteen 

 subs.; beating Salute, Galata (winner of the Oaks, 1832), 

 Count Robinson, and Copper Captain. The betting was 

 2 to 1 agst Galata, and 1 1 to 8 on Margrave, who won his 

 race by a neck only. 



On the following day for the St Leger Stakes of 25 sovs. 

 each, seventeen subs., Archibald, Margrave, Beiram, and 

 Non Compos, started ; and came in in the order in which 

 they are placed above. 



The Betting was 6 to 5 on Margrave, 5 to 2 agst Beiram, 

 5 to 1 agst Archibald, and 10 to I agst Non Compos. The 

 race was entirely confined to Archibald and Margrave, and 

 vv^as won by Archibald through freshness only. Margrave 

 was stale, yet even with that disadvantage he would most 

 probably have won, had he not swerved on coming within 

 the cords. 



He finally ended the season 1832, by paying forfeit in 

 the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, to Camarine, in a 

 Match for 300 sovs. each, h. ft. 



In 1833, Margrave started but once, namely in the New- 

 market Craven Meeting, for the Claret Stakes. Trustee 

 was the winner, Minster second, Beiram third, and Margrave, 

 who was evidently " amiss," last. From this time he never 

 '^ trained on" again, but having received forfeit, in the New- 

 market First Spring Meeting, from Lord Conyngham's 

 Bassetlaw (dead), in a Match of 200 sovs., h. ft, he retired 

 from the busy activity of the Turf, into more private life, 

 and appeared in the list of Stallions for 1834, advertised at 

 Bishop Burton near Beverley, in Yorkshire ; and was finally 

 sent out to Virginia, in the year 1835 ; having won seven 

 races, and lost five.
