Lottery [ex-Tinker] bbr c 1820 (Tramp
- Mandane, by Pot8os).
Sire Line Eclipse.
Family 11-g. Bred in Yorkshire by Richard Watt,
of Bishop Burton near Beverley, he was a half brother to the
Oaks winner Manuella (b f 1809
Dick Andrews), to the St
Leger winner Altisidora (ch f 1810
Dick Andrews) and to
the Chester Cup winner Brutandorf (b c 1821
Blacklock).
Considered by contemporaneous authorities to be the best
of Tramp's sons he was described as a "very bloodlike
horse" standing sixteen hands, a "magnificent" creature
with speed, stamina and courage. He was also said to
have an odd, erratic temperment. In an apparently
unsuccessful regime designed to ameliorate his opinions,
he was regularly galloped in a "fallow field". Mr Watt
was said to have become so apprehensive of him doing
serious damage that he wanted to have him shot but was
persuaded to sell instead. Mr Whittaker of Dowthorpe
Hall purchased him for 450 guineas and changed his name
to Lottery. He ran for three years in Mr Whittaker's
colours, winning a number of good races although it was
generally thought he could have won more had he so
decided and had he been more than half trained. It was
said that his faults were "aggravated by neglect and
mismanagement; otherwise he would have been one of the
most brilliant performers on the British turf". In the stud he got a
St Leger winner, Chorister
(b c 1828), and two Manchester Cup winners, Red
Rover (br c 1831) and The Carpenter (b c 1833), however,
he is proabably better known as the sire of Sheet Anchor
(bbl c 1832). Although Mr Whittaker was reputed to have
refused 3000 guineas for him at one time, he was
subsequently purchased by the French Government and sent
to France in 1834.
