TRUMPATOR
,—the name of a horse whose performances on the turf insured him infinite opportunities of acquiring additional celebrity as a STALLION, which he has now supported for twelve years, and is announced for the present season, 1803, at Clermont Lodge, near Brandon, Norfolk, at eight guineas each mare, and half a guinea the groom. Trumpator was bred by Lord Clermont, foaled in 1782; got by Conductor, out of Brunette, who was got by Squirrel. The first of his get started in 1790, at two years old, and were both winners, under the names of Black Deuce, and Young Peggy. In 1791, Trumpetta appeared at only two years old, and won 200 guineas, and 100 guineas, at Newmarket; and Young Peggy, then three years old, won seven stakes and matches at Newmarket. In 1792, Trumpetta, then three years old, won five prizes at Newmarket. Rally, only two years old, won 100 guineas and 50l. at the same place. This year appeared also Gipsey, Misenus, and a chesnut colt, the winners of six stakes at Newmarket. In 1793, nine of his get started, who were the winners of twenty plates, matches and sweepstakes. In 1794, Aimator, Paynator, Repeator, and four others, were the winners of twenty-one prizes, when his reputation as a stallion became firmly established.
In 1795 appeared ten winners of twenty-two prizes, amongst whom were Ploughator, Oateater, and Trumpeter; the first and last of which were then only two years old. In 1796, thirteen of his produce started, and were the winners of thirty-eight plates, matches, and sweepstakes. Of these, Aimator won 500 guineas, 400 guineas, and 100 guineas, at Newmarket. Didelot, the Prince's stakes, 100 guineas, six subscribers; and the Derby stakes of 50 guineas each, half forfeit, when eleven started; the rest paid. Hornpipe won five times at Newmarket, Epsom, Brighton, and Lewes. Paynator won 50l. 100 guineas, the first class and main of the Oatlands Stakes at Newmarket. Repeator, seven plates, matches, and stakes, at Newmarket, Ipswich, Brighton, and Lewes. Spinetta won 200 guineas, and 50 guineas, at Newmarket. Spoliator won the King's Plate at Ipswich; 50l., 200 guineas, and 100 guineas, at Newmarket. True Blue, 80 guineas at Epsom, and 50l. at Ludlow. Trumpeter, three fifties, and 100 guineas, at Newmarket.
In 1797, ten of his get started, and were winners of sixteen prizes. In 1798, fifteen appeared, and were the winners of twenty-nine. In 1799, eighteen of his get started, and were winners of thirty three; amongst whom Chippenham, then three years old, won 400 guineas, and 300 guineas, at Newmarket. Sorcerer, three years old, 100 guineas at Newmarket. Spoliator won six stakes and matches, all at Newmarket! and Trumpeter won three at Newmarket, and one at Lewes. In 1800, nine started, who were the winners of twenty-five. Sorcerer, then four years old, won 100 guineas, 150 guineas, 50l., 200 guineas, and the October Oatlands, at Newmarket, and the King's Plate at Ipswich. Thais, only two years old, won 400 guineas at Brighton, 60 guineas at Egham, and 100 guineas at Newmarket; and Tuneful, only three years old, won twice at Newmarket, and twice at Canterbury. In 1801 he seemed to have attained the zenith of celebrity; thirteen of his produce were the winners of forty-three plates, matches, and sweepstakes. Sorcerer won six at Newmarket, 50l. at Oxford, the King's Plate at Burford, and 70 guineas at Lewes. Chippenham won six at Newmarket, and 50l. at Shrewsbury. Penelope only three years old, won five at Newmarket, and the King's Plate at Ipswich. Rebel won 90 guineas at Bibury, two fifties at the same place, and the Petworth Stakes at Brighton. In 1802, twelve were the winners of forty-one prizes of different descriptions, of which Edgar won nine; Orange Flower, eight; Chippenham, five; Rebel, four; Pacificator, three; and the remainder two each; under which repetition of success, through so great a variety of channels, the blood of his progeny bids fair to stand in no unfavourable degree of estimation.
