RAcEHoRsEs FOR ENGLAND.
Mr.. SANFORD SENDS STRING OF EIGHT
ACROSS THE ATLANTIo.

AChOSS THE ATLANTIC.
From the New York Sportsman or this week.
Yesterday afternoon eight thoroughbred American
horses, the property of Mr. Sanford, were shipped
aboard the steamship Holland OF the National line
for London. OF those shipped the first is Preakncss
At the end of this his sixth campaign the old horse is
fresh, sound and vigorous as ever That he
might prevail in cup in England seems very likely,
for his this summer the Saratoga Cup was a
grand performance Mr. Sanford may not however
run him in England He has plans cut and dried,
and his action will depend upon circumstances
He intends to buy lot Of good English brood mares
and it is very likely that instead Of racing next year.
Preakness viii cover such as Mr.. Sanford selects
Second, mention Mate This famous little horse has
always been next to Preakness In our estimation At
one time we thought he could beat Prcakness himself
two miles, weight age but we afterward discarded
that opinion IL was a near thing between True Blue
and Mate, but the son Of Lexington and Balloon had
little the best Of it. Bay Fina tho three year old
brother of Preakness and the last produce Of the
famous old mare Bayleaf who was wholly English in
blood, being by Yorkshire out of the imported mare
Maria Black, s an exceedingly good-looking colt Not
Of the eight horses on the pier looked like
Of high type than Bay Final He has not been
lucky colt In preparation for the annual stakes at
jerome Park he threw a curb he was then stopped
and put in work again for Baltimore, not quite two
weeks prior to the Dixie Stakes Four days
before the race for that great stake Mr.
Sanford and Lttlehcd ran Bay Final a two
mile trial against Mate. IL was very high
trial and the colt beat the trial horse but in doing
he cooked his own bacon" and when he met Tom
0chiltree, Aristldes, Vator, &C, in the Dixie and
Breckenridge Stakes his speed was gone But he ran
honest and true and all that he lost In those
| lost In the FIRST half mile.
