Tramp b c 1810 (Dick
Andrews - Mare, by Gohanna). Sire Line
Eclipse.
Family 3. Tramp was bred in
Yorkshire by Richard Watt of Bishop Burton near Beverley who
bred the St Leger winners Altisidora (ch f 1810
Dick
Andrews) and Memnon (b c 1822 Whisker), the Oaks winner
Manuella (b f 1809
Dick
Andrews) and the One Thousand Guineas winner Cara (b f
1836 Belshazzar). Bishop Burton was also home to Champion
Sire Blacklock (b c
1814 Whitelock).
Prior to Blacklock Mr
Watt declined to keep a stallion so Tramp was sold on for
£300 to a new owner who kept him for only two years and
parted with him for £1400. He was half brother to a Whisker Mare (ch f 1820
Whisker) who became the dam of
the Royal Hunt Cup winner Knight of the Whistle (ch c 1838
Velocipede).
When young he was said to
be very narrow like "all of the tribe" of Joe Andrews and
Dick Andrews, but later grew into himself and became "one of
the grandest-boned and grandest-looking horses in England."
He was then described as a "nice level horse, standing just
fifteen hands and two inches high, being long and low, and
rather straight in his back."
On the turf he was
thought to be an excellent four-mile horse. The 1814
Subscription Purse at York, where he was only just beaten by
Prime Minister (br c 1810 Sancho), was said to have created
the most excitement on the Knavesmire before the 1850
rivalry between Voltigeur (br
c 1847 Voltaire) and The Flying Dutchman (br c 1846
Bay
Middleton).
He was also successful in
the stud and at the time of his death his stock had won
nearly £68,000 and included two Derby winners, St Giles (ch
c 1829) and Dangerous (ch c 1830), one St Leger winner,
Barefoot (ch c 1820), and two
of The Whip, Zinganee (b c
1825) and Little Red Rover (ch c 1827). He also got the
stallions Lottery (br c 1820) and
Liverpool (b c 1828). In
December of 1835 "poor old Tramp, worn out with age, was
shot at How Bridge farm, near Malton".
