246 Tiir: OAKS, 1811. 



GHUZNEE. 



AVINNER OF THE OAKS, AT EPSOM, 1841. 



Ghuznee, a very fine and strongly-formed mare, standing 

 fifteen hands and half an inch high, was bred by the Mar- 

 quis of Westminster, and was got by Pantaloon, out of 

 Languish, by Cain, out of Lydia, by Poulton, out of Variety, 

 by Hyacinthus. 



Ghuznee's first appearance on the Turf was for the Oaks, 

 at Epsom, 1841, for which the following fillies started. 



Lord Westminster's b. Ghuznee, by Pantaloon. —Scott 1 



Mr Dixon's cb. Miss Stilton, by Saracen 2 



Lord Westminster's br. Lampoon, sister to Toucbstone ; Mr Batson's ch. Potentia; Mr 

 Batson's b. Barbara ; Mr Treen's cb. Una ; Mr T. O. Powlett's br. by Muley Moloch, 

 out of Mystery ; Lord Verulam's cb. Concertina; Col. Craufurd's br. Emiengardis ; Mr 

 Osbaldeston's ch. by The Colonel, out of Galatea; Col. Thompson's br. Flying- Jib; Mr 

 Sadler's ch. Protection ; Duke of Beaufort's b. Snowdi-op ; Lord Albemarle's b. Minaret ; 

 Mr Theobald's bl. The Black Duchess ; Sir G. Heathcote's b. by Defence, out of Nan- 

 nette; Sir G. Heathcote's b. by Emilius, out of Jane ; Gen. Wyndham's b. Aspasia; 

 Col. Wyndham's b. Nora Creina ; Duke of Grafton's ch. Florence ; Mr Cooke's b. Sequi- 

 dilla ; and Mr Collins's cb. by Sir Hercules, out of Concordia's dam ; also started, but 

 were not placed. 



Betting-, 7 to 4 ag-st Ghuznee, 4 to 1 ag-st Lampoon, 8 to 1 ag-st the Mystery f., 9 to 1 

 ag'st Protection, 9 to 1 ag-st Potentia, 20 to 1 ag-st Sir G. Heathcote's two, 25 to 1 each 

 agst Concordia, Snowdrop, and Una, and 30 to 1 ag-st Miss Stilton. 



The horses got away at the first start, Lampoon taking 

 the lead till they reached the road, where she resigned, and 

 Ghuznee took up the running. At the distance, Miss Stil- 

 ton challenged, but Ghuznee shook her off at the Stand, and 

 won cleverly by a length. The Mystery filly third, Sequi- 

 dilla fourth, Protection fifth, and Ermengardis sixth. Va- 

 lue of the stakes £3,250. 



A walk over for the Coronation Stakes at Ascct has been 

 her only subsequent performance. 



Ghuznee is a beautiful bright bay without white, and in 

 s!i;ipo peculiarly calculated to make a superior "^r'xod mare.
