150 MAiNGIO— 1830. 



Corban took the lead at a slashing pace, Chapeau d'Es- 

 pagne running almost abreast of him, and Mango, Lady's 

 Slipper, Garcia, and Venilia at their heels, all clustered 

 together, and all looking well ; Ruby, Champion, and old 

 Forth's filly did not live with them any distance, and may 

 be dismissed at once as having nothing to do with the race. 

 The first division maintained its order of running nearly the 

 whole of the ground, nothing decisive showing itself till 

 close to the ropes^ where Corban, Venilia, and Lady's Slip- 

 per, were in trouble; Mango looked well here, but it was 

 only for a moment, as Chapeau d'Espagne and Garcia sin- 

 gled themselves out, and ran a match home, Garcia having 

 clearly the worst of the race till the last stride, when Pavis 

 made a tremendous effort, and won his race by a head. 

 Mango ran the first two to a length, and was followed closely 

 by Corban, Lady's Slipper, and Venilia, the latter being 

 sixth. After the race Mango was not quoted at more than 

 25 to 1 for the Derby. 



The Clearwell Stakes had the year before (1835) produced 

 a winner of the Leger (Elis), but few thought that this race 

 had brought out another. 



Mango's next race was on the 25th of May, for the Der- 

 by — won by Phosphorus. Mango came in about sixth, 

 having near to him Rat-trap, Wisdom, and Benedict. We 

 have already described this race in detail (page 143) and 

 need therefore only remark that the odds were 5 to 1 against 

 Mango, who was third favourite. 



At Ascot Heath on Tuesday the 6th of June, for the 

 Ascot Derby, Mango, Mr J. Day's Chapeau d'Espagne, 

 Lord Chesterfield's Edgar, and Lord Exeter's Adrian, 

 started, the market prices being 11 to 10 on Chapeau, and 

 6 to 4 agst Mango. Adrian made what running he could 

 for the first mile, when Mango took it up, mended the pace, 

 kept the mare at his lieels, and won by a length. A^m\
