In contests of every description the representatives of this line have achieved more than their share of popular triumphs, from the time Mr Tait carried all before him with old Cossack (brother to Waimea), down to the present season, when Kingsborough, Dagworth, Melbourne, Reprieve, Sterling, Fitz-Yattendon, Valentia, Calumny, Ring wood, and many others with a dash of the old blood, carried the owners’ colors to the fore in some of the hardest tussels of the year.” Teums—Six guineas each mare.
