In the last year, 1802, sixteen of his get were the winners of 41

Catterick, 250 guineas, and 268_l._ 15_s._ at York, 92_l._ at Richmond,

Thus the united blood of _Herod_, _Blank_, _Snap_, and _Regulus_, are
proved equal, if not superior, to every other junction or cross ever
introduced. SIR PETER TEAZLE is now only nine years old, in high health,
and just announced to cover the present season (1803) forty-five mares
at Knowsley, near Prescot, Lancashire, at FIFTEEN GUINEAS each mare, and
fifteen shillings the groom.
SIR SOLOMON,—the name of a horse of much recent racing reputation: he
was got by SIR PETER TEAZLE, dam (_Matron_) by _Florizel_, who was got
by _Herod_. _Sir Solomon_ was bred by Earl Fitzwilliam, foaled in 1796,
and started for _six_ different three year old stakes, (in the name of
_Tankersley_,) always running in a capital form, and in a good place,
but without winning once in that year. He was then purchased by MR.
JOHNSON, and started 1800 for the King's Plate at Nottingham (with his
new name) which he won easy, beating _Welter_, _Honeycomb_, and
_Coniac_; and the next day a 50_l._ plate. At York he won the King's
hundred, beating _Applegarth_, and _Honeycomb_. In 1801, he won five
times out of the six stakes and plates he started for. He won the Stand
Plate at York, beating those famous horses _Chance_, _Cockboat_, and
_Timothy_; the King's Plate at Newcastle, with the gold cup and 130
guineas at the same; the gold cup at Nottingham, and 500 guineas at
Doncaster. In 1802 he won the gold cup, value 100 guineas, and 60
guineas in specie, at Newcastle. A subscription of 25 guineas each, nine
subscribers, and 268_l._ 15_s._ at York, (beating the famous
_Cockfighter_,) 50_l._ and 70 guineas, at Lincoln. He was since
purchased by Mr. Lumley Saville, and is announced to cover the present
season, 1803, (10 guineas a mare, and 10_s._ 6_d._ the groom,) at
Rufford, in Nottinghamshire.
