hickened since last year, and will make a
16-hand horse. His head is plain but intelligent, and he has a stout
neck, well inclined shoulders, stout middle piece, great depth through the
heart, a trifle long in the back, good hips, quarters, and stifles, with
sound feet and legs, and his action when extended is easy and
frictionless. Hindoo was bred by D. Swigert, Stockwood farm, Spring
Station, Ky., and purchased at two-years-old by his present owners for
$15,000. He started nine times at two-years-old and won seven. He has
started twice this season and won the Blue Ribbon 1-1/2 miles at
Lexington, Ky., in 2:38, and the Kentucky Derby, 1-1/2 miles, at
Louisville, in 2:40. He has twenty-four more engagements this year, and,
barring accidents, in our opinion, they all lay at his mercy.
