 Ochiltree is one of Lexington's best sons, he could run fast and stay under heavy 

 weights, his great size, coupled with symmetry of form, should commend him to 

 breeders. He is deeply inbred to Diomed through his many Archy crosses, and the 

 Eclipse cross is an addition through a staying family, fortified with a triple cross of 

 Orville, through his sons, Muley and Emilius. Ochiltree is a bay, 16 hands 3^^ 

 inches high, no white except a small star. He is one of the truest and best shaped 

 big horses in the world, all bone and muscle without a particle of lumber.
