GORTON, hy Thunderbolt—Lsra, is a chesinut, stands nearly 17 hands high, and his Pedigree shows him to be descended both on dam and sire's sides, from the most successful racing stock in England. Thunderbolt waa probabfy the most brilliant horse in England of his day, having beaten Buccaneer (who is credited with the fastest mile on record —1.38) the only time they met; he is also the fire of some of the greatest racehorses in England. The pedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being by Thormanby (sire of Albany), one of England's most fashionable sires, out of a Touchstone mare. Gorton is the sire of such well-known per formers as B izzard, St Malo. Pique, Con jurer, Emmason, Langley, Enfield, Mistral, Rothamstead, Warrington, Errington, Rancor, and Furoc ydon which ran second in the autumn Challenge Stakes and won the New Zealand Cup, Derln, and Canter bury Cup.
