Goliah is a light chestnut, the color of his sire. 8 years
old this spring, full 5 feet 5 inches high, and as 10 SYM
metry of limbs and general appearance. | have never
seen his superior; and my opinion is borne out by all
good and impartial judges who have seen him since ne
left the turf; il has farther been admitted he has less
suPcrfuous flesh than any horse when in high order,
and very seldom excellcd in action.
To give a full description of all the races Goliah has
run, would take up too much room for an advertisement
like this suffice 1T to say, he has run all distances, from
one mile to sixteen, and been a successful winner at them
all, making great time~-sometimcs has made a bad race,
when II was obvious to all he was i'll bad health. The
season he was4 years old, he was so much injured inilis
feet, that he was brought from Long Island (where he was
raised) by Captain James J. Harrison, to Virrinja. who
rested and greatly improved him, so as TO mike some first
rate races afterwards. in fact, often heard Capt. Har-
rison say he thought Goliah equal to any horse of his
day, any distance, when in condition to run. A piece

Sporting Magazine, vol. 5, p. COS, august MOL says Co

Goiiah, more than once, has run two miles in 2 min
utes and so seconds. The race he won at Fairfield
running JIG miles, was done in 80 minutes and 81 seconds,
which is enough to show he possessed both speed and
bottom. Two Of his colts have dropped this Spring
they are very likely.
