Horse-breeder's handbook : together with a history of the rise and progress of the British . e Riding,made their mark on the English turf in the colours of Mr. Leopold de Rothschild,who is breeding from them at the present time. This horse is most remarkablyinbred to Blacklock, having no less than 5/;52 of that horses blood, and if he servessuitable mares should produce very high-class galloping stock. Benvenuto is notregistered in the English Stud Book. His great-granddam, Red Ribbons, wasoriginally in Vol. VIII. of that publication, but as it was found impossible to tracethe pedigree of her dam, Maggie Lauder, she (Red Ribbons) was omitted fromsubsequent editions of that invaluable work. It is believed that Maggie Lauderwas thoroughbred, but as she was foaled nearly a century ago, no record of herdam is extant. The Jockey Club of New York have sanctioned the registrationof Benvenuto in the American Stud Book, so that the slight flaw in his pedigi-eewill not prevent him from being considered thoroughbred in the United winnings in England amounted to £ THE HORSE-BREEDERS HANDBOOK.
