JOHNNY
,—a horse of more recent date, and of a different blood, was the property of Mr. Durand, and proved a country plate horse of some celebrity. He was got by King Fergus, dam by Justice, and was foaled in 1794. At three years old he won a fifty pound plate at Alfriston, and two fifties at Egham. The year following he won 50l. at Ascot, beating Ploughator and Dispute. 50l. at Lewes, beating Greyhound and Outcast. 50l. at Canterbury, beating Doubtful, Ploughator, Quietus, and Ratafia. 50l. at Egham, beating Will, King John, Greyhound, Lord Egremont's Bugle, and three others. 50l. at Newmarket, beating Parisot, Sober Robin, Centinel, and High Eagle. In 1799 he won a Handicap Plate at Newmarket, beating Wrangler and Outcast. 50l. at Epsom. 50l. at Winchester. The Petworth Stakes (10 guineas each, seventeen subscribers) at Brighton; beating Bobtail, Lounger, Heart of Oak, Opposition, Speculator, and Wrangler. The Ladies Plate of 60 guineas at Lewes, beating Wrangler, Gohanna, Sparrowhawk, Magic, and Sir F. Poole's Brother to Waxy; and 50l. at Canterbury, beating Mr. Crosoer's Dairy Maid. In the following year, 1800, he started but once, which was at Epsom. It is supposed he sustained some injury, as he was then withdrawn from the turf.
