Wild Dayrell, bred by his present owner, Mr. Popham, in 1852, is by Ion, out of Ellen Middleton, by Bay Middleton, her dam Myrrha, by Malek-Bessy, by Young Gouty-Grandiflora, by Sir Harry Dimsdale-Pipator. Ion, bred by General, then Colonel Peel, in 1835, was by Cain out of Margaret, by Edmund. He was a good but not lucky racehorse, winning the Clearwell at two years old, and running second for both The Derby and St. Leger of his year. He was put to the stud in 1840, since when he has figured as the sire of the following winners:-Ionian, The Odd Mixture, Iodine, Ione, The Seraph, Tadmor, Indus, Quinine, Black Sea, Ianthe, Poodle, Sophistry, Dagobert, Iona, Nicotine, Pelion, Adeline, Indiana, Protest, Talfourd, Baalbec, Caliph, Inder, Miss Goldschmidt, The Trapper, and Wild Dayrell-thirteen winners, including Talfourd, The Trapper, and Wild Dayrell, appearing under his name in 1854. Ion himself left this country for France in 1851. Ellen Middleton, bred by Mr. Foljambe, in 1846, was a very fair runner, in Lord Zetland's colours. She was sold, however, to Mr. Popham on going into the stud in 1850;-missed in 1851; threw Wild Dayrell in 1852, but was not covered that season. In 1853, she went to Pyrrhus the First-the produce, now a yearling, and a very fine filly called Arta, was knocked down during the late Stockbridge Meeting for 380gs., Mr. Popham's groom, Rickaby, being announced as the buyer. Wild Dayrell is a rich brown horse, standing sixteen hands and an inch high. He has a lean blood-like head, strong arched neck, good oblique shoulders, great depth of girth, good barrel and ribs, with very powerful back and loins. He has strong muscular quarters, gaskins, and thighs, with immense arms, and good hocks and knees. He is somewhat "in" at the elbow, and turns his toes out. stands short from the knee to the ground, has good bone, but no lumber about him,-very docile in his temper, very perfect in his condition, and, altogether, looking as much like a Derby winner as any horse that ever marched into the Epsom Paddock. PERFORMANCES. He In 1854, Wild Dayrell, then two years old, made only one appearance, when at Newmarket First October Meeting, ridden by Marlow and carrying 8st. 7lb., he won a sweepstakes of 50 sov. each, for two year olds, T.Y.C., beating Duke of Bedford's Para, 8st. 10lb., and Lord Exeter's Hazel, 8st. 7lb., who ran a dead heat for second. 7 to 4 on Wild Dayrell, who won by two lengths. In 1855, Wild Dayrell, ridden by R. Sherwood, won the Derby stakes, at Epsom, of 50 sovs. each, colts 8st. 7lb., fillies 8st. 2lb., a mile and a half, beating Mr. H. Hill's Kingstown (2), Mr. Merry's Lord of the Isles (3), Mr. J. Adkins's Flatterer (4), and the following not placed: Mr. J. J. Henderson's Rylstone, Mr. Hawdon's Courtenay, Lord Anglesey's Strood, Mr. W. Garrett's Little Brownie, Mr. W. Smith's The Cave Adullam, Lord Eglinton's Dirk Hatteraick, Lord Eglinton's Corcbus, and Mr. J. Osborne's Lord Alfred. Even against Wild Dayrell. Won in a canter by two lengths. Run in two minutes fifty-four seconds. " SUMMARY OF WILD DAYRELL'S PERFORMANCES: In 1854, he started once and won once, a Sweepstakes at 4925 £5125 Wild Dayrell's only engagements are in the Cup at Goodwood, for which he is steadied with 8st. 1 lb., and in the Ebor St. Leger at York, where, with a 6lbs. penalty, he may meet Oulston, Fandango, and one or two more. The following are the chief points in the history of Wild Dayrell:-He was bred at his owner's seat, Littlecote, near Hungerford, and sold when a yearling to Lord Henry Lennox, for, we believe, a hundred guineas, with the usual "five hundred more if he won The Derby. He was subsequently, however, returned to or repurchased by Mr. Popham, who from that time has had him entirely under the care of his own private groom, Rickaby. The horse has been trained in Ashdown Park, one of the Seats of Lord Craven, and ridden almost constantly in his exercise by Robert Sherwood, a son of Sherwood of Epsom, who won the Derby with Amato for Sir Gilbert Heathcote, the year Ion, the sire of Wild Dayrell, ran second for it. In addition to the services of these two trustworthy guardians, Mr. Popham had the continual advice and aid of Lord Craven and Mr. Etwall; the latter long known as a turfitė. The result of this combination of honest intention was as gratifying as it deserved to be. Wild Dayrell, brought to the post in the most perfect racing condition, and carefully ridden, despite nobblers and rumours of all kinds, did that which the most knowing considered as impossible, and won The Derby. But that he would have won it under almost any circumstances, there can be little or no doubt. From a variety of causes, however, the field became reduced to a dozen actual starters, the smallest which has been known for more than thirty years. It is said that Mr. Popham will never train another horse, being quite satisfied with the lesson he has taught the over-knowing ones. Wild Dayrell, as most of our readers must know by this, takes his name after a certain reprobate gentleman, the original owner of Little |
