New old flashy TBs for Jorge

[StayOutFront]

Hi Jorge,

I just picked up some old copies of Racing Illustrated, a European publication from the late 1800s. I've got a few spare minutes, so thought I'd send a few names that might be new for you....

Where I just say "white leg," that's generally something larger than your average sock but shorter than a stocking. And I hope the names are all correct. Some of the type was a bit faded/hard to read.

Immigrant - ch. h. 1890, by Exile II - Avonwick, by She Saw
Seems to have a blaze, nice long-legged model, three white legs. It appears all three are full stockings, with ragged edges at the tops

Whiston - ch. c. 1890, by Prism - Wild Mint, by Wild Oats
Nice blaze and one hind stocking

Rockdove - brown or black (?) filly, by Gallinule - Sleeping Beauty, by Ben Battle
Blaze face and three white legs

Marco - ch. c. by Barcaldine - Novitiate, by Hermit
Looks like he has a blaze, two hind stockings

Arcano - ch. (1891) by Mask - Annette
Large blaze, small white spots on ribcage that might be scars or photo problem

Ortolo - b. c. by Bend Or - Napoli, by Macaroni
Blaze, three white legs

Solaro - b.c. by Galopin - Capri
Blaze, two white legs

Crotanstown - ch. 1892, Gallinule or Favo- Lady Louisa, by Solon
Large blaze, three white legs (can't tell how high due to bandages)

Esther Clark - gorgeous! "black filly" - 1893, by Esterling - Rose Clark, by Speculum or Napsbury.
Right hind stocking, wide blaze.

When I find time I'll post more names, but perhaps one or two of these shall be new for you.

Dear StayOutFront,

Thank you so much for posting this valuable watch! Great!
Will begin a thorough search on every name and inform what I find.
Hands rubbing.

I found time to post a few more.... (it's fun)

Avilion - 1893 filly, by Cameliard - Myra
Fairly wide blaze, left hind sock with ragged edges

Camelot - 1883 ch.m.,by Cremorne (?) - Lynette, by Lord Lyon
Fairly wide blaze, white sock (or socks - can only see one leg)
Photo shows her foal, probably of 1895. Foal has a star and at least one sizeable stocking (may be more)

Grey Lag - now, I'm guessing this is the model the race is named for?
Wow, he's beautiful - dark grey with a few large light spots, blaze face, one sock. By Pepper and Salt - Quetta. I wonder what Pepper and Salt looked like? Great name.

Le Var - by Isonomy - St. Marguerite
Large blaze extending into nostrils, left hind stocking, small white patch near withers that's probably from saddle rubs

Bumptious -
1888, by Brag - Headlong, by Pell Mell
Remarkably flashy horse - very large blaze up to browband, four full stockings

Brag - the sire of Bumptious
1878
Very flashy, high-headed stallion, large blaze, right hind stocking.
He looks like a nasty character! He's shown as a stallion, and I'd guess it was as a 17-year-old stallion. Two men are holding him tightly, and one of those carries a large stick. A third man, nearby, has a bullwhip cocked toward Brag. I love a photo that tells a story! I've never seen a photo like that, especially from the 1800s.

Guinevra - mare, not sure of foaling date, etc. (late 1800s)
Sizeable blaze into nostrils, left hind sock

Carbine - probably famous enough that you have his information

Mowerina - ch. m. 1876, by Scottish Chief -
Two hind stockings

Bedlight - ch. c. 1892, by Prism - Dureuse
Three stockings, and blaze

Solaro - probably well enough known that you have his info

Quartus - ch. h. 1886, by Tertius
Blazed face and sock

Golden Fringe - out of Golden Drop
Very wide blaze and one stocking
Shown with her foal, by Quartus, who has a blaze and two stockings
(unsure of dates)

Thanks for the second list. Some are completely new to me. Need to search on various cases.

Hmmmmm, looks like more information is necessary with these cases. Any pictures on these hard luck cases?
