NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING,

strained to regain his lost ground, but without the shadow of a 
chance, Mr. Seffert winning by a whole field ; neither of the 
horses was down. The result of this race was very different to 
the expectations of the sporting gentlemen—Broomfield being 
a thorough-bred horse, brother to John de Bart, and known to 
be an exceedingly fast horse; Red Rover was bred by the Duke 
of Portland, and is by Tiresias, but was sold from his Grace’s stud 
on account of his temper: he has the look of a racer, possesses 
great speed, and is a high and fine fencer when his temper will 
permit. Captain Horn has thus won 100 sovs. instead of losing 
that sum, as every one expected would be the case, for he could 
not get a shilling off at any odds before starting.
