Like his grandson, Colin, he was an unbeaten two-year-old, but had a close call when ho ran a dead heat with Dobbins in a match for 0,000 a side at Sheepshead Bay. In his year 1S93 he was fortunat in that several of the rich stakes won by him were of greater value than in the year previous or in those succeeding. In all respects he was a grand race horse, and his record of money won cannot be closely approached by Colin. But the latter has already passed the record of His Highness and will finish the year with a sufficiently wonderful aggregate of winnings. Domino won a great sum in this way: Race. Track. AVr. Time.
