Lot Essay

Negotiator, a bay colt by Prime Minister, out of a mare by Camillus, was bred by Sir Tatton Sykes, a renowned breeder, rider and Master of Foxhounds, and foaled in 1819. Negotiator won his first race at York in 1822, and was sold the following year to Sir David Moncreiffe, although by 1823 he is listed as having run for Archibald, Earl of Cassillis, and later Marquess of Ailsa. Negotiator's last recorded win was the King's Plate at York in 1825.
