OF Lexington, as he was better known
afterwards. Lexington's career was
phenomenal, and after breaking down
he was sold to go into the stud for $751;
600.
Mr.. Ten Brock was probably the
greatest match maker the American turf
ever knew. In his racing days the
classic fixtures in this country were few
and far between and most of the grea.
races were matches. In these Mr.. Ten
Brock startled the world.
He matched Lexington against Sally
| Waters at $500 to $1,000 and won.
| This was December ., 1853.
April 1, 1854, Lexington won the Post
stakes at New Orleans, defeating Lee
compte. Later in the week, however
Lecompte defeated Lexington at four
mile heats.
Mr.. Ten Brock then offered to match
Lexington against Lecompte for $40, 900
side, but the offer was refused.
Then an offer to run Lexington
against Lecompte's time of 1925 for four
miles was accepted, the stakes being
$4,000 side. He carried 1o3 pounds
and covered the distance in 7:19$4. He
afterward defeated Lecompte at four
mile heats for big purse.
1t was Mr.. Ten Broecks famous trip
to England, however, that gave him his
greatest reputation.
Ten Brock was made the pet of sport
ing London. He was introduced to and
became the fast friend of the prince of
Wales. In that set he began the rapid
life which ended in sending him to Cal
ifornia, broken in health and broken in
fortune. Of all the thousands won on
his racers but paltry $4,000 or so re-
mains to-day, Umpire, Starke, Orlandar
and lot of others landed rich prizes
for him and made him the fashion of
the day. There were Ten Brock neck
ties in the show windows and Ten
Brock cocktails were showed over the
fashionable bars. The great turfman
was at the height Of his fame. He
started Umpire in the English derby
with cock sure chance of winning, but
the horse was sadly an,iss the day Of
the race and didn't even run to place.
From that time Ten Broeck's good for
tune began to desert him, and as the
years went by they left him poorer,
little grayer, and with each year an
added furrow on his forehead.
When the reaction came from his fast
life in the European capitals Ten
Brock came back to America, and
about five years ago sought California
as the place where his depleted ener-
gies might be revived. He found a lit
tie place down near Palo Alto and lived
quietly there, where he could almost
hear the hoofbeats Of the Palo Alto
thoroughbreds in their morning gallops.
