Bred and owned by Mr. Beardsworth, Birmingham by Filho da Puto out of Miss Craigie won the 1830 St. Leger beating the favorite Priam (see lot 27) by half a length in very heavy going. He was a sickly foal and Mrs. Beardsworth pampered him back to health and he supposedly used to follow her around the dining room table like a dog.
