I ELLEN HORNE, B. M., 1844. 



This mare, of so little note in her own day, is now famous as the ancestress of the 

 following noted winners, in female-tail line : 



LORD LYON, b c., 1863, winner of the 2000 Guineas, Derby and St. Leger 1866. Sire 

 of Placida, winner of the Oaks ; and Minting, winner of the Grand Prix de Paris. 



ACHIEVEMENT, winner of the 1000 Guineas and St. Leger of 1867. 



JANNETTE, winner of the Oaks and St. Leger at 3 years and the Jockey Club 

 Cup at 4. 



BEND OR, Derby winner of 1880, City and Suburban of 1881 and Epsom Cup of 

 1882. Sire of the great Ormonde. 



LADAS, winner of the Derby and 2000 Guineas of 1894. 



CHELANDRY (by Goldfinch, imported in California), winner of the 1000 Guineas 

 of 1896. 



There is no mare in English stud history which, foaled since 1840, has made any 

 such showing as has Ellen Home, who is also ancestress of Blue Mantle, Man-at-Arms, 

 and Gardevisure, winner of the Cambridgeshire. Considering that she was by a third- 

 class sire, Ellen Home's prominence is something wonderful. 



This brings me to the end of my English chapter, and 1 hope I have not offended 

 any of my British critics, for I have endeavored to write free from prejudice and 

 speak only of things as I have seen them in the fierce light of the history of a half- 

 century. I may have erred in judgment, but believe I shall at least be given credit 

 for honest intentions.
