CORONATION. 



WINNER OP THE DERBY STAKES AT EPSOM, 1841. 



Coronation, a remarkably well-shaped bay horse, sixteen 

 hands high, bred by Mr Rawlinson, was got by Sir Hercu- 

 les (by Whalebone, out of Peri), out of Ruby, by Rubens, 

 out of Revenge's dam, by Williamson's Ditto, &c. 



Coronation's first appearance upon the Turf was at Oxford, 

 in the year 1840, where he won a Sweepstakes for two and 

 three year olds, three quarters of a mile, beating Pelerine, 

 filly by Nimrod out of Busk, and Affection. At Warwick, 

 in the same year, he won a Sweepstakes, T.Y.C, beating St 

 Cloud and Norman. 



In 1841, Coronation won the Trial Stakes at the Warwick 

 Spring Meeting in a canter. 



These performances left Coronation still " a dark" horse, 

 his opponents never having been of a casle to test his real 

 merits, until at Epsom, for the Derby, on the 26th of May, 

 he showed himself superior to all the " Cracks" of his day, 

 by running away from them in true " Plenipo." style. At 

 the appointed hour the largest field of horses ever seen for 

 the Derby came to the post, viz :
