SATIEIST. 



WINNER OF THE DONCASTER ST. LEGER, 1841. 



Satirist, a bay-brown horse, standing about fifteen hands 

 two inches in height, and bred by the Marquis of West- 

 minster, was got by Pantaloon, out of Sarcasm, by Teniers, 

 out of Banter (the dam of Touchstone, Launcelot, and 

 Lampoon), Sec. &c. 



Satirist's first appearance in public was at the Doncaster 

 Meeting, 1840, where he was beaten by Kedge, The Squire, 

 and Belgrade, for the Champagne Stakes ; he was also 

 beaten by Belgrade and Ermengardis in a two-year-old stake 

 at the same Meeting. 



He opened the season 1841 victoriously, by walking over 

 for the Dee Stakes at Chester, and winning the Palatine 

 Stakes at the same place, beating Louise — a colt by Battle- 

 dore or Peter Lely — and Nightshade. At Ascot he asto- 

 nished the natives by snatching the Gold Vase from Llan- 

 ercost, to whom it had been booked as a certainty; and he 

 afterwards walked over for the St James's Palace Stakes. 

 His last appearance prior to that which " made a horse of 

 him," was in the Liverpool July Meeting, when he ran third 

 for the Liverpool St Leger, being beaten by Middleham 

 and Prince Caradoc. 



Everybody had put down the St Leger 1841, as a cer- 

 tainty to Coronation ; in fact he had so " startled the turf 

 from its propriety," that only the following limited field 

 came to the post out of a list of one hundred and thirty- 

 five subscriber*.
