TIBERIUS AT THE STUD

On account-of the death of his sire (Foxlaw); the great stayer Tiberius has been retired to the stud. It had been intended to race him for another season (he is a four-year-old), but the premature death of Foxlaw caused his owner, Sir Abe Bailey, to change his plans. Tiberius did not attract a great deal of attention until he scored such a surprising and decisive victory in the Ascot Gold Cup, among his victims on that occasion being Brantome. the

"wonder horse" of France, unbeaten in his own country, and said to be valued at £100,000. Later Tiberius won the Goodwood Cup. He was backward at two years and did not win a race. At three years he' won four races, but was beaten into second place by Windsor Lad in the St. Leger. Many fine stayers have come from the Son-in-Law family in recent years. and probably Tiberius was the best of them. He is by Foxglove (son of Son-in-Law) from Glenabatrick. by the Derby winner Captain Cuttle (son of Hurry On) from Jura, by Gainsborough from Maid of the Mist (Cyllene—Sceptre), dam of Craig an Eran and of Buchan's dam Hamoaze.
