island’s great astrolabe barrier reef is producing large numbers of mid sized fish with frequent fish to 70lbs and the occasional rod snapping monster getting the best of astonished anglers . even the narrow barred mackerel are getting into the action with many good sized fish caught on poppers right in close to the reef .
catch estimates for narrow - barred spanish mackerel are highly uncertain . the catches of spanish mackerel increased from around 50 , 000 t the mid - 1970s to 100 , 000 t by the mid - 1990s . the current average annual catch is around 112 , 200 t ( for the period 2002 to 2006 ) , with most of the catch obtained taken from the west indian ocean area . in recent years , the countries attributed with the highest catches of spanish mackerel are indonesia , madagascar , pakistan , iran and saudi arabia . the overall catch in the eastern indian ocean is relatively stable , whereas in the western indian ocean it peaked in 1988 and has levelled off since then ( iotc 2006 ) .
engage in three distinct spawning periods between january and september . spanish mackerel spawn off the reef slopes and edges , and they form spawning aggregations in specific areas .
adult ( read huge ) spanish mackerel usually hunts alone or in very small group . smaller spaniards can be found in schools . they are seldom found far offshore making them easily accessible to game fishers and commercial netters alike . spanish mackerel are often caught trolled with live or deadbaits and also on lures and metal jigs .

multiple hook - ups are common when a troll goes near a schooling spanish mackerel . if a big fish is landed , that is usually the only fish in that area . big spanish mackerel are capable of making sizzling runs after getting hooked . if a sport fish usually puts up a fight by swimming away from the angler , be ready for the highly unpredictable directions a spanish mackerel might make . they often swim towards the boat at high speed making the angler think they have lost the fish .
the spanish mackerel’s incredible speed often results in them rocketing meters out of the water when attacking from below . snelling is often deployed when using two hooks on a live or dead bait .
spanish mackerel live throughout the indo - west pacific region , particularly in tropical and sub - tropical waters . in western australia , they’re found from cape leeuwin northwards to the northern territory border .

small mackerel up to five years old tend to school and appear to be more mobile than larger fish .
spanish mackerel are a great target for rock fishermen as they commonly hunt for prey extremely close to the shore . large rocky headlands that are surrounded with deep water and inshore reef systems usually hold excellent numbers of mackerel . manmade structures which hold large aggregations of baitfish such as large jetties and breakwalls will also produce good numbers of fish .

spanish mackerel are fished by trolling ( towing lures or bait behind the boat ) , generally from dories / dinghies ( aluminium or fibreglass boats under 6 meters ) operating either to a primary vessel or by themselves . the majority of the catch is taken by a small number of commercial operators .
spanish mackerel are a fantastic fish that should be chilled immediately for best results . they are regarded as one of the best eating fish in the north so if you’re going to take one for a feed look after it properly . immediate bleeding and placing in a salty ice slurry will enhance the flesh .
depending on temperature regime , the spawning season may be more or less extended . in australian waters , each female spawns several times over the season , about two to six days apart , depending on the locality . spanish mackerel spawn off the reef slopes and edges , and they form spawning aggregations in specific areas .

these toothy predators occupy the tropical and sub - tropical waters along the northern half of australia . on the east coast consistent numbers of fish can be found north of south west rocks . some of the best spinfishing locations for targeting mackerel in northern nsw are hat head and the iluka breakwall . further north in queensland locations such as the urangan pier in hervey bay , the catwalk at 1770 and bustard head are also well known hot spots for targeting spanish mackerel .
spanish mackerel mature at approximately 80cm and grow to about 240cm and 60kg in weight . in australian waters spawning occurs in the open ocean along reef edges when water temperatures are highest . studies indicate that there are three separate genetic stocks in australia ; papua new guinea to east coast , torres straight , and papua new guinea to wa .
spanish mackerel are widely distributed across the indo - west pacific region and range as far as the east coast of africa and east as far as the fiji islands . in australia they follow the warmer tropical to sub - tropical waters between the continental shelf and the mainland . they range between augusta in western australia northwards to the east coast of victoria .
depending on temperature regime , the spawning season may be more or less extended . in australian waters , each female spawns several times over the season , about 2 to 6 days apart ( ref . 30196 ) , depending on the locality . spanish mackerel spawn off the reef slopes and edges , and they form spawning aggregations in specific areas ( ref . 6390 ) .

when i’m spinning for mackerel from long tropical jetties like the mandorah wharf in darwin harbour or the urangan pier in queensland i always use smaller metals such as surecatch bishops . the 50gm and 60gm bishop are the perfect profile size for mimicking baitfish such as hardy heads and herring which commonly congregate under large jetties . i usually let the lures sink next to the pylons and then jig them up using an erratic retrieve . the technique works well on smaller sized spaniards between 6 - 12kg and other mackerel species such as school , shark and broad bar mackerel .

wire leaders above 20 - 30 lbs are usually needed to combat the razor - sharp scissor - like teeth of the spanish mackerel . nylon coated wires are also popular when trolling . if nylon leaders are used , you can only hope for the best that the fish has bitten at the lure or hook shank . another thing is there can be a lot of hits & misses with the spanish mackerels as they tend to attack bait at high speed . often , a bait is sliced clean in half but the fish misses the hooks . they also often hit the leaders rather than the lure or jig sometimes getting themselves foul hooked .

high - speed spinning from the rock was discovered on the australian coast in the late 60’s . throughout this era throwing metal lures with long rods and cranking them through the water with a high - speed overhead reel became extremely popular amongst land based anglers . although the majority of chrome plated lures on the market today are a lot more refined , high - speed spinning from the stones is still a productive method for catching spanish mackerel .
high - speed spinning for spanish mackerel is definitely one of the most exciting brands of sport fishing . with one glimpse of a spaniard it’s obvious that evolution has perfectly crafted this fish for destroying lures at warped speeds . the classic strike from one of these tropical speedsters usually starts with a serious bone jarring jolt , followed by a series of aggressive head shakes before the fish powers off towards the open ocean leaving your reel screaming like a banshee .
research suggests the mackerel in wa’s northern waters don’t move more than 100 kilometres along the coast . in southern waters , they are thought to migrate over hundreds of kilometres , following the warmer waters of the leeuwin current .
swimming lures such as deep divers and bibless minnows also work well on mackerel when they are retrieved at medium to high speeds . i have found that these lures can often out fish metals when the water is discoloured and murky . swimming lures are designed with in - built action and constantly vibrate through the water . predatory fish like mackerel can use their lateral line and other senses to hunt down swimming lures without relying on their eyesight .
in western australia good numbers of fish usually show up north of kalbarri . the rugged cliffs of steep point and quobba are famous for producing epic runs of mackerel and are both considered as world class land based gamefish destinations .
it is often said that “the early bird catches the worm” , this saying certainly applies to mackerel fisherman . the best time to spin for spaniards is definitely during first light and over the years i’ve caught 80 percent of my fish between 6 - 9am . mackerel are also known as “wolves of the sea” and always feed with more intensity during low light periods . spaniards also have excellent eyesight and will utilise the low light conditions to ambush and seek prey .
i have found that the best moon phase for mackerel is around the new moon . the dark skies make it extremely difficult for the fish to hunt throughout the night which makes them feed a lot more aggressively during daylight hours .
for a number of years a gentleman’s agreement has existed in the bramble cay area of the spanish mackerel fishery where fishers have worked the area in the early morning and late afternoon and have rested the fishery during the day . in 2003 industry members of the working group requested this arrangement be formalised during the months of august to december when the spawning aggregations are occurring in this area . it was also requested that the bramble cay area be designated a troll only area . this was on the basis that the area fished is very small and gear conflict could become a major issue should other permitted methods be used to target mackerel in this area . of particular concern is the potential conflict that may arise should png cross endorsed vessels choose to take up their rights to fish within the australian jurisdiction and adopt incompatible fishing methods .

to secure your catch from the stones a good quality two - piece aluminium rock gaff is highly recommend and should cover you on most ledges . if you’re targeting mackerel on the wild west coast a classic three pronged rope gaff is perfect for extracting fish from these remote cliffs .
picking the most suitable tides for chasing spaniards can vary heavily on the location you are fishing from . for example rock platforms which are adjacent to large rivers such as iluka , fish well on the outgoing tide as the mackerel seem to come in and hunt the baitfish that are being flushed out of the river . while on shallow sandy bottomed ledges like the catwalk at 1770 the bigger mackerel seem to come closer to the shore on the high tide . in areas with massive 7m tidal variations like darwin harbour the spaniards are a lot more prolific during neap tides as the water gets extremely silty during the massive spring tides .
in my opinion i don’t think the colour of the sticker really matters when it comes to chrome lures as i have caught plenty of mackerel on every single colour available . when the lure is flying through the water at breakneck speeds the fish will only see a silver flash in the water and will simply attack on instinct .
most people think we are nuts to even contemplate fishing such light tackle in waters that are filled with marlin , big sailfish , wahoo , mackerel and dogtooth tuna but i have to say , as far as fishing goes , its the most fun you can have without a tub of haagen daz ice cream and a lady i know called mandy .
the rapala x - rap srx - 14 in the “glass ghost” colour and the 5 inch lively lures mack bait in the “blue mack” colour are two of my favourite swimming lures for targeting spaniards . another popular swimming lure which is commonly used for mackerel at steep point in wa is the nilsmaster invincible deep runner 15cm in the yellow belly colour .
mackerel prefer water temperatures between 22 - 26 degrees and will often migrate down the coastline following the warm currents at the start of each summer and head back up the coast during the autumn months . along the top end of australia in areas like darwin where water temps rarely drop past 24 degrees good numbers of fish can be found almost all year round .
surface lures such as poppers and plugs are great for attracting mackerel and can lead to some spectacular aerial strikes . large spaniards will often charge from the depths and launch at surface lures with tremendous force . on many occasions the fish will often smash the lure and miss the hooks . this can be a little frustrating at times but it’s still an awesome sight to see .
when it comes to spinning for spaniards i’ve certainly gone right on with it . over the past decade i’ve spent a wasted youth chasing big bar - ees from the stones . jamming a hook into one of these line burning fish is an experience that i will never get sick of and in my opinion landing a monster mackerel on a lure is what high - speed spinning is all about .
igfa angler’s digest brings you light - tackle fishing from fiji with igfa certified captain adrian watts and first mate joe tucco . we target wahoo and sailfish and tie into a spanish mackerel for good measure . the area we work is up tight to the great astrolabe reef where finding sailfish just a couple of hundred yards from the reef is just as common as tying into huge wahoo that run in packs . we ' ll finish up the episode with some underwater footage filmed on a few dives on the great astrolabe reef – this reef has perhaps the healthiest coral any of us has ever seen . if you ' re looking for an unspoiled place to dive , snorkel or a world - class fishery just minutes from your accomodation , you have to do yourself a favor and check out matava resort and the bite me sportfisher on kadavu island in fiji .
when i’m targeting mackerel i always use a wire trace . i use a short 30cm length of 69lb single strand wire with a swivel at one end and a small solid brass ring on the other . the single strand wire can easily be attached to the terminals via a haywire twist . the solid brass ring is attached to the split ring of your lure while the swivel end is tied to a 2m length of 60lb mono shock leader .
metal lures are excellent for land based anglers as they are relatively cheap , durable and cast well against strong winds . my favourite metal for spinning up xos oceanic bar - ees is the 85gm surecatch knight . these lures are made from chrome plated brass and are perfect for imitating popular baitfish such as slimy mackerel , yellowtail scads , mullet and fusiliers . to increase my hook - up rate i retrofit my trebles to a 4 / 0 mustad 7794ds treble hook . these triple strength hooks have a much larger gape than the original trebles that these lures come with .

the identification of significant threats to the coral reefs of the world [ 9 , 17 ] has been partly responsible for focussing attention on the full diversity of reefs rather than simply on the diversity of fish and corals , the most obvious examples of reef diversity . the contributions of other groups of invertebrates to diversity on reefs have been largely overlooked in the past [ 7 , 32 ] . part of this “hidden” invertebrate diversity includes the endoparasites of vertebrates .
in recent years , teleost fish occurring on coral reefs have been recognised as harbouring a particularly diverse array of parasites [ 20 ] . studies to date have focussed either on specific parasite groups such as the monogenea ( e . g . [ 33 ] ) or digenea ( e . g . [ 13 ] ) , or more recently have examined the diversity of all helminth parasites found in or on specific families of fish such as the lethrinidae or serranidae [ 21 – 23 ] .
in this study , we examined the larval trypanorhynch cestode parasites of teleosts , and where applicable the corresponding adults in elasmobranchs , from the great barrier reef ( gbr ) and compared them with those from similar reef environments in new caledonia ( nc ) . new caledonia is separated from the gbr by about 1200 km of deep oceanic waters .
teleosts and elasmobranchs were collected opportunistically between 1986 and 2010 . the two main collecting sites were heron island in the southern great barrier reef and lizard island in the northern barrier reef . small numbers of parasites were collected on reefs between these two sites ( mossman , townsville ) and in these instances , the nearest geographical feature on the coast was recorded rather than the specific reef near which the collection was made (
records of adults from elasmobranchs are included only for species in which larval stages have been identified in teleosts ; these are based on both published data and specimens held in museum collections . additional species of trypanorhynch cestodes from elasmobranchs have been found and their larval stages may be found in the future , but for the present study , these records have not been added .
) , authorities of cestodes are included and host species are listed in alphabetical order without authorities . in instances where both generic and specific names of cestodes have changed , synonyms have been included . in the host - parasite list (
) , fish hosts are arranged in orders , families and genera , but within each group , the order is alphabetical . authorities of fish are indicated and the parasites are arranged in alphabetical order without authorities .

authorities of hosts or parasites which are indicated in the lists are not repeated in the text . the systematic arrangement of trypanorhynch taxa follows palm ( 2004 ) [ 27 ] . all host names were verified in fishbase [ 15 ] .
) . plerocercoids of tentaculariids were found either in the body cavity or in the gastrointestinal lumen ; the latter were not contained within a “cyst” . occasionally , plerocerci were found in the musculature and in the gill arches (
) , although there was no systematic search of such sites for plerocerci . merocerci of

( arrows ) around the oesophagus of lethrinus nebulosus . 6 . merocerci of molicola horridus in the liver of diodon hystrix . 7 . plerocerci of grillotiella exile in the gill arches of scomberomorus commerson ( histological section ) .
species of larval trypanorhynch cestodes found in both teleost ( as larvae ) and elasmobranch ( as adult ) hosts at sites along the gbr and off nc are shown in tables 1 and 2 .
from the gbr , the specimens examined were obtained from the dissection of more than 9000 fish , although not all were specifically examined for trypanorhynch cestodes . likewise , from nc , approximately 3800 fish were examined but the body cavity was not examined in every fish , as explained by justine et al . [ 21 – 23 ] . consequently , prevalence data were available for some species only and abundance data were not available ; for most species only presence - absence data were available ( with one exception from lizard island ) .
no trypanorhynch metacestodes were found in the families blenniidae ( n = 215 ) , chaetodontidae ( n = 1638 ) , gobiidae ( n = 183 ) , kyphosidae ( n = 30 ) and scaridae ( n = 147 ) from the gbr . likewise , no metacestodes were found in the families atherinidae ( n = 13 ) , apogonidae ( n = 19 ) , echeneidae ( n = 10 ) and haemulidae ( n = 10 ) in nc . in addition , although the families serranidae , lethrinidae and lutjanidae were frequently infected with trypanorhynch metacestodes , this pattern was not uniform across all species within these families and in nc , no trypanorhynch metacestodes were found in epinephelus areolatus ( n = 12 ) , e . merra ( n = 18 ) , lethrinus atkinsoni ( n = 12 ) , l . nebulosus ( n = 14 ) , lutjanus fulviflamma ( n = 10 ) and lu . kasmira ( n = 14 ) .
members of the tentacularioidea differ from other trypanorhynch metacestodes as they are present as plerocercoids ( = post - larvae ) rather than plerocerci [ 14 ] and may be found in intestinal contents as well as in the viscera . in new caledonia , tentacularioids were frequently found in smaller schooling fishes , often being the only trypanorhynchs encountered in these fishes .
) as well as three species of tentaculariid cestodes to which no current name could be applied . lacistorhynchoid and tentacularioid trypanorhynchs dominated the fauna in terms of numbers of species recovered (
summary of the fully identified taxa of larval trypanorhynch cestodes found in teleost fishes from the great barrier reef and from new caledonia .
prevalence data were obtained from 182 fish from various families collected during a single collecting trip to lizard island . the prevalence of trypanorhynch larvae was : 4 / 6 ( 77 % ) in scombrids , 5 / 7 ( 71 % ) in lethrinids , 2 / 13 ( 15 % ) in lutjanids , 8 / 9 ( 89 % ) in serranids and 1 / 109 ( 0 . 9 % ) in apogonids . other fish families were represented by smaller numbers and were excluded .
tentacularioid metacestodes incompletely identified . 8 . nybelinia sp . a from herklotsichthys quadrimaculatus ( rüppell , 1937 ) . scolex , basal and metabasal armature , hook profiles . scale - bars : scolex and tentacle , 0 . 1 mm ; hooks , 0 . 01 mm . 9 . nybelinia sp . b from parupeneus multifasciatus ( quoy & gaimard , 1825 ) . scolex , basal and metabasal armature , hook profiles . scale - bars : scolex and tentacle , 0 . 1 mm ; hooks , 0 . 01 mm . 10 . heteronybelinia sp . c from sufflamen fraenatus ( latreille , 1804 ) . scolex , bothrial metabasal armature and antibothrial metabasal armature . scale - bars : scolex 0 . 1 mm ; hooks 0 . 01 mm . 11 . nybelinia basimegacantha carvajal , campbell & cornford , 1976 , specimen from neoniphon sammara ( forsskål , 1775 ) . scolex , basal and metabasal armature . scale - bars : scolex 0 . 1 mm ; tentacle 0 . 01 mm .
material examined : plerocercoids from herklotsichthys quadrimaculatus ( rüppell , 1937 ) , new caledonia , mnhn jnc2669c1 , 2671a1 .
scolex length 1200 , pars bothrialis 580 , pars vaginalis 520 ; bulbs ovoid , bulb length 250 ; velum 160 ; metabasal hooks : length 15 , base 10 .
this species is similar to n . queenslandensis , but all measurements including those of the hooks are substantially smaller . in addition , the shape of the hooks differs ( fig . 8 ) . the hook shape aligns the species with n . lingualis ( cuvier , 1817 ) , n . bisulcata ( linton , 1889 ) , n . anthicosum heinz & dailey , 1974 and n . hemipristis palm & beveridge , 2002 , but n . lingualis and n . bisulcata differ in having much larger scoleces ( 2025–2700 and 2500 , respectively ) and bulbs ( 365–425 and 450–505 , respectively ) while the latter two species have much larger hooks ( 25–40 ) . consequently , these plerocercoids most closely resemble n . lingualis but cannot be assigned to this species with certainty .
material examined : plerocercoid from parupeneus multifasciatus ( quoy & gaimard , 1825 ) , new caledonia , mnhn jnc2172 c4 .
scolex length 1750 , pars bothrialis 1100 , pars vaginalis 1000 , bulbs elongate , 560 long , velum 200 , metabasal hooks : length 20 , base 14 .
this specimen most closely resembles n . strongyla dollfus , 1960 in scolex length , bulb length and hook size and shape , but differs in the length of the velum ( 690–830 in n . strongyla compared with 200 in the present material ) .
material examined : plerocercoid from sufflamen fraenatus ( latreille , 1804 ) , new caledonia , mnhn jnc3034 .
scolex length 1440 , pars bothrialis 770 , pars vaginalis 680 , bulbs elongate , bulb length 375 , velum 125 , metabasal hooks on antibothrial surface : length 17–19 , base 8 ; on bothrial surface : length 25 , base 18 ; basal armature heteromorphous .
this specimen clearly belongs to heteronybelinia as the hooks differ markedly in shape on the bothrial versus the antibothrial surfaces of the tentacle . hook sizes are closest to h . eureia ( dollfus , 1960 ) , but the specimen differs from this species in the number of hooks per half spiral and by the fact that in this specimen the bulbs are entirely posterior to the pars bothrialis while in h . eureia , they do not extend beyond the pars bothrialis . therefore , this specimen cannot be accommodated within any known species of heteronybelinia .


serjeant ( 1781 – after 1787 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse .

in a career that lasted from spring 1784 to autumn 1787 he ran sixteen times and won eight races .

in 1784 he won the fifth epsom derby , the first running of the race under its current name and distance .

he stayed in training for a further three seasons , winning several important races at newmarket , but disappeared from official records after his retirement from racing and does not appear to have been found a place at stud .

professor to the veterinary college of london , monsieur charles vial de st bel , performed an autopsy on eclipse . his measurements determined that the horse stood 16 . 2 hands . while without artistic pretensions , his detailed drawings reveal significantly different markings from those generally seen in other portraits .
bred by his royal highness william augustus , duke of cumberland , he was foaled at the duke ' s cranbourne lodge stud during the total eclipse of the sun for which he was named . john lawrence described him as a mature horse :
when i first saw him he appeared in high health , of a robust constitution . his shoulder was very thick , but extensive and well placed ; his hind - quarters appeared higher than his fore - hand ; and it was said that no horse in his gallop ever threw his haunches with greater effect , his agility and his stride being on a par . he stood over a great deal of ground , and in that respect was the opposite of flying childers - a short - backed , compact horse , whose reach lay in his lower limbs .
he is thought to have stood around 15 . 2 hands .
snow knight won the the epsom derby , then the following year earned an eclipse award as the american champion male turf horse . at stud he sired awaasif , the dam of snow bride , winner of the 1989 epsom oaks and the dam of lammtarra , winner of the 1995 epsom derby .
lammtarra becomes the first horse to win the derby on his seasonal return since grand parade in 1919 and sets a record time of 2m 32 . 31s , beating mahmoud’s 2m 33 . 8s which was hand - timed in 1936 . the race is switched permanently from wednesday to saturday . vodafone takes over the sponsorship and remains the backer up to 2008 .

joe andrews [ ex - dennis o ! ] b c 1778 ( eclipse - amaranda , by omnium ) . sire line eclipse . family 4 - b . owned by sir w vavasour , he won the 1783 stand plate at york . he was described as a
narrow horse , with a long , lean head and neck , but showed great breeding
. later a stallion in the west of england his sole contribution to the stud book was his son dick andrews . he is said to have
died , in obscurity many years before his son , dick , made his blood famous with the chestnut altisidora , manuella , and tramp
.
eclipse ch c 1764 ( shakespeare or marske - spiletta , by regulus ) . sire line eclipse . family 12 .
after the duke ' s death , in october of 1765 , his stable was dispersed at auction by mr richard tattersall . eclipse was purchased by william wildman for 75 guineas . in 1769 dennis o ' kelly purchased a half - interest in him for 650 guineas and later bought the remainder for 1 , 100 guineas .
sir theodore cook wrote of him :
his excellence was not only owing to the races he won , but even more clearly to the astonishing ease with which he won them , and to the fact that in addition to his undoubted speed and stride , he possessed sound wind , an ability to carry heavy weight , and an endurance over long distances which could never be thoroughly tested , for its limit was never reached .
in 1771 he retired to stud at clay hill , near epsom , surrey , where he stayed until 1788 , when he was moved , in a carriage pulled by a pair , to o ' kelly ' s cannons park stud in stanmore , middlesex . his fee was 50 guineas the first year , and later varied between 25 and 30 guineas .
a great great grandson of the darley arabian , he was an overwhelming success in the stud , becoming the progenitor of the eclipse sire line and thus the tail - male ancestor of nearly every living thoroughbred . the line continued mainly through two sons , pot8os and king fergus .
the excellent racehorse and sire pot8os ( ch c 1773 ) numbered among his get the derby winner and champion sire waxy ( b c 1795 ) , the derby and st leger winner champion ( b c 1797 ) , the derby winner tyrant ( b c 1799 ) and the oaks winner nightshade ( b f 1785 ) .
the champion sire king fergus ( ch c 1775 ) , himself a winner of eight races , got three st leger winners , beningbrough ( b c 1791 ) , hambletonian ( b c 1792 ) and young traveller ( ch c 1788 ) .
other sons of eclipse exerted varying degrees of influence . among them were don quixote ( ch c 1784 ) , dungannon ( b c 1780 ) , joe andrews ( b c 1778 ) , jupiter ( ch c 1774 ) , meteor ( ch c 1783 ) , orlando ( b c 1778 ) , and satellite ( ch c 1774 ) .
oddly enough eclipse was never a champion sire himself , although he was second eleven times between 1778 and 1788 . he died of colic at cannons in 1789 .
this portrait by francis sartorius displays a smaller face marking , and the off - hind sock ends half - way up the cannon bone . in contrast , st bel ' s sketch shows a white nose and an off - hind stocking extending above the hock .
in 1769 he won a £50 plate at epsom , beating mr fortescue ' s gower ( b c 1764 gower stallion ) , mr castle ' s chance ( b c 1763 gower ' s sweepstakes ) , mr jenning ' s trial ( ch c 1764 blank ) and mr quick ' s plume ( br c 1763 feather ) . won a £50 plate at ascot , beating mr fettyplace ' s cream de barbade ( b c 1764 snap ) , winning both heats
