BRIGADIER (Imp.) 



Brigadier will be located the season of \SSZ at the stables of Gol. A. S. 

 Wi/nn, Castalian, Springs, Tenn., and will serve mares at $25 the 

 season. 



Brigadier, by Monarque, bred in France, foaled 1869, imported by Mr. J. A. Smith, 

 <iam Sweet Lucy, by Sweetmeat. Brigadier ran but once in public in a plate at New- 

 market Second October Meeting won by Nudel, he was unplaced. His sire, Monarque, 

 was a fine race-horse, won the Goodwood Cup in 1857, and sired Gladiateur, who not 

 only won the 2,000 guineas, Derby and St. Leger in 1865, but the Grand Prix de Paris 

 same year, and he is the only horse which ever accomplished the feat. Gladiateur also 

 won the Ascot Gold Cup in 1866, and many other important events. Sweetmeat, the 

 sire of his dam. Sweet Lucy, was sire of Macaroni, winner ofthe 2,000 guineas and Derby 

 in 1863, and of Mincepie winner of the Oaks in 1856, and Mincemeat winner of the 

 Oaks in 1854. Macheath, the crack two year old, of England, for this year 1882, is by 

 Macaroni. The pedigree is full of stout and speedy crosses ; the horse served no 

 thorough-bred mares until 1880, and his colts are pronounced very promising. His 

 blood is one of the links through which the Sweetmeat and Whalebone blood can be 

 perpetuated in this country, he is strongly inbred to Waxy, through both Whisker and 

 Whalebone, and to Eclipse through these two stout crosses and through Orville, and 

 Blacklock. Beningbrough, the sireof Orville, won the St. Leger in 1794, and Ham- 

 bletonian, the grandsire of Blacklock, won it in 1795, both were grandsons of the great 

 Eclipse, both being by King Fergus, the famous son of that horse, and he traces 

 through his dam to Proserpine, an own sister of Eclipse. Brigadier is a brown 16i 

 hands, with little white on one heel behind, is a fine tempered, well shaped horse.
