38 JOHN PORTER OF KINGSCLERE 



last produce of the Priam mare Industry, winner 

 of the Oaks in 1838. He showed useful form that 

 season. The first time out he won the Whittle- 

 bury Stakes at Northampton. In the Chesterfield 

 Stakes at Newmarket he first of all dead-heated

 was again beaten by Blink Bonny at that meeting, 

 and was allowed to walk-over for the Brighton 

 Cup. This ended his Turf career, which was

 hands, he was a well-made chestnut horse. As 

 a sire, his chief claim to notice lies in the fact

The best of our juveniles in 1857 were Clydes-

 Birdcatcher; Amsterdam, a colt by The Flying

 was also Rocket, who won the Cesarewitch as 

 a three-year-old. These animals all belonged 

 to Mr. Padwick. I stated that John Day, 

 although nominally a private trainer, was allowed 

 to have a few horses belonging to other owners;
