254 SALE OF LORD GEORGe's STUD. 



Platoff (War Eagle being second and Van Tromp 

 third), ridden by Flatman ; was beaten in the 

 Doncaster St Leger by Lord EgHnton's Van 

 Tromp, Cossack being second and Lord EgHnton's 

 Eryx third. 



As regards Slander, she was beaten at Doncaster 

 by Mr Pedley's Foreclosure for the Two-year-old 

 Stakes in 1846 : later in the year she won the 

 Rutland Stakes at Newmarket, value £270 ; broke 

 a blood-vessel after passing the Judge's chair, and 

 never won again. She ran second to Mr Payne's 

 Clementina for the One Thousand in 1847, and 

 second to the same filly for the Nassau Stakes 

 at Goodwood. In the Oaks she was ridden 

 by Bartholomew, and started at 11 to 2, but was 

 beaten out of place by Sir Joseph Hawley's Miami, 

 Mr Payne's Clementina being second and Captain 

 Harcourt's Ellerdale third, Slander finishing sixth 

 in a field of twenty-three. In the Park Hill 

 Stakes, Doncaster, she ran second to Ellerdale. 

 At the Stud, Slander, despite her splendid breed- 

 ing — by Pantaloon from an own sister to Touch- 

 stone — was even more unsuccessful than upon the 

 race-course. Between 1850 and 1858 she pro- 

 duced nothing worth training for her then owner. 

 Lord Clifden, at whose sale in 1859 Lord Fal- 

 mouth purchased her ; but she produced six very 

 moderate foals, and after being barren for two 

 years was destroyed in 1866, at the age of 

 twenty-two.
