his owner expected; lower than any horse
of his performances, blood and pretensions
in the United States; and probably much
lower than he will stand again
tIt will be seen by the annexed extracts
from the most authentic periodicals OF
England, that Flexible is horse oil the

English turf, having given to horses o
his own age, great advantage IN weight J;

a -four mile race with heavy weight
and his blood not only pure, but OF the
highest quality; his sire, Whaleoone's
stock being considered universally in the
periodicals as remarkable for their racing

PEDI G n E e.
Flexible was got by the famous Whale
bone his dam Themis, sister to lncanta-
tor, by Sorcerer. her dam Hanna by Co.
hanna, out of Hunming Bird, sister to
Colobri, by Woodpecker-Camilla by
Trentham Coquette by the Compton
Barb-sister to Regulus by the Godolphin
Arabian Grey Robinson by the Bald Gal
loway: Snake, out of Old Wilkes, daugh
ter Of Old Hautboy. Whalebone won the
Derby, and IS other races, at all distan
ces, being a capital four mile horse, was
own brother to Whisker, winner of the
Derby and several other capital runners,
and was inferior to no horse OF modern
times as stallion, being sire of Chateaux
Margaux, the best four mile horse Of the
day, Camel. Spaniel, winner Of the Der
by, and many other first rate racers. Scr.
cerer was first rate racer and Stallion,
covered at Segs., and was sire Of Smolen-
sko, winner Of the Derby, Morel and Sor'
Gerry, winners of Oaks, Soothsayer, win
ner OF the St. Leger, and many others
Gohanna was the best mile horse Of his
time, and as a stallion was equal 10 any
horse they have had in England. at any
time. Woodpecker. Trentham, the Comp
ton Barb, Regulus, never beat, and the
best son of the Godolphn Arabian, &c.,
were all stations of the very first charac-
ter. All the crosses mentioned in Flexi
ble's pedigree were horses equal to any of
their time, if not the very best, Camilla,
the dam of Young Camilla, Colibri, Ca
Uterine, Sophia, Hummng Bird, (the g.
grand dam of Flexible,) Jerboa, was a
most valuable and famous brood mare, s.
her descendants have won as much and
acquired as high standings any family Of
horses in the Kingdom. In fact, Flexible
is as well bred as any horse in the world,
both for speed and stoutness, all his an
cestors being equal to any of their time,
without single inferior cross. 1t would
be hard to point out another pedigree as
pure and rich as this is. Flexible's dam
was also the dam of Evergreen, Tough.
stick, Anna, &C., and is now brood
mare in The stud of the King of Prussia.
