Kyrle Daly is blood bay, 16i hands high, black points with star in his forehead. He 

 has a neat head, fine width of jaws and large throttle. The setting of head and neck 

 is magnificent, the neck rangy, full-crested, and masculine, running smoothly into the 

 shoulders and chest, middle-piece unusually fine in the roundness of the ribs and 

 powerful development of muscles along the spine and over the loins. The back ribs 

 are out fully even with the hips, idicating a good feeder and a hardy constitution ; 

 quarters full, and well-developed stifles. His limbs, both in front and behind, are ad- 

 mirable in their flinty look of quality, with powerful knees and finely-turned hocks, 

 and a rather straight hind leg for an English type of thoroughbred. 

 He is much inbred to Waxy through his sons Whalebone and Whisker, having 

 double crosses of both on side of sire and dam, and is also inbred to Eclipse 

 and Herod. Only a few of his get have yet appeared. They are reputed speedy.
