MANGO. 



MANGO. 



WINNER OP THE D0NCA8TER ST. LE9ER, 1837. 



Makgo, bred by Mr Thornhill, and afterwards the property 

 of C. C. Greville, Esq., is what some persons call a brown 

 horse, though, to speak more properly, his colour is a very 

 dark bay. He is fifteen hands three inches and a half high, 

 and of a form which indicates great strength. His legs are 

 strong and well-shaped ; he is remarkably round in the ribs ; 

 and, from the great developement of his muscles, his general 

 appearance at three, was that of a five-year old. He was 

 got by Emilius, out of Mustard, by Merlin ; grandam. Morel, 

 sister to Truffle, by Sorcerer; great grandam, Hornby-Lass, 

 by Buzzard — Puzzle, by Matchem — Princess, by King Herod 

 — Julia, by Blank — Spectator's dam by Partner — Bonny 

 Lass, by Bay Bolton — the Darley Arabian — Taffolet Barb 

 — Place's White Turk — Native Barb Mare. 



Mango was very unequal in his performances, and, though 

 a frequent winner, his career was not one of uninterrupted 

 success ; having more than once been beaten by horses of no 

 very high character. In fact though an honest running 

 horse, he was lazy ; and required considerable exertion on 

 the part of his jockey to make him put forth his speed. 



Mango's first appearance on the Turf, was on the 18th of 

 October in the Newmarket Second October Meeting 1836, 

 for the Clearwell Stakes. The following came to the post, 

 and, strange to say, were started without a failure : — 



Mr Sowerby's Ruby, by Reveller, out of Turquoise ; Lord Exeter's Corban, brother to 

 Beiram ; Lord Exeter's c. Champion, by Red Gauntlet, out of Patron's dam ; Mr John 

 Day's f. Chapeau D'Espagne ; Mr Cooper's o. by Bobadii, out of Lady's Slipper ; Colonal 

 Peel's f. by Bedlamite out of Garcia ; Mr Greville's br. c. Maug'o, brother to Preserve ; 

 Mr yorth's ch. f. by Bedlamite, out of Hatfield's dam ; aiid Lord Chesterfield'* b. f. Veni'ia.
