. CALIGULA THE ST. LEGER WINNER i VICTORY OF GRAY SON OF THE TETRARCH DISPELS DOUBTS AS TO THE STAYING QUALITIES OF THE GET OF THAT FAMOUS HORSE Not only was the victory of Caligula in the St. Leger a surprise in a racing way, but it left the critics of The Tetrarch in a sad plight after they had deplored the lack of staying qualities in the get of that famous horse. Commenting, on. this fact, "Exile" says: "There is only one tiling certain in blocdstcck breeding and this the splendid results that come from a blending of the blood of Herod, Matcheni and Eclipse. Just when so many of you were deploring the .inability of the get of The Tetrarch to stay, out he comes with the St. Leger .winner Caligula, and, mark you, Caligula is bred Herod to Eclipse. Of course. The Tetrarclis sons and daughters will stay. Everyone bows to their transcendent speed, and now here comes along a genuine stayer. "Snoot, dam of Caligula, supposedly named after the crazy Roman Emperor who made a consul out of his horse Incitatus, is by St: Simons son Perigord, and experience teaches us that the hard, llinty St. Simon strain is just the sort to fit in best with the blood of Herod, The Tetrarch. "Snoot traces back to that famous mare the Derby winner AVild Dayrclls dam Ellen Middletou, and this a rattling good branch of the No. 7 family. "Bully for The Tetrarch and the H. M. E. blend."
