This nonpareil did not exceed fourteen hands in height; yet no horse in the kingdom was able to run with him at any weights from eight to twelve stone: he never started but once, and that at Newmarket,—a match against Jonquil, which he won easily. He covered several seasons in Wales; he was disposed of afterwards to Dr. Chambers, of Rippon, and became a favourite stallion in the north ; he was sire of Young Cartouch, Mr. Panton's Hog, Mr. Dutton's King Pepin, the grandam of Bourdeaux and Trentham, and manv other eminent horses.
