Dogs and All about Them

There
are
very
few
Greyhounds
that
have
won
the
Waterloo
Cup
more
than
once,
but
Cerito
was
credited
with
it
three
times,
namely,
in
1850,
1852,
and
1853,
when
it
was
a
thirty-two
dog
stake.
Canaradzo,
Bit
of
Fashion,
Miss
Glendine,
Herschel,
Thoughtless
Beauty,
and
Fabulous
Fortune,
are
probably
some
of
the
best
Greyhounds
that
ever
ran
besides
those
already
alluded
to.
Bit
of
Fashion
was
the
dam
of
Fullerton,
who
shares
with
Master
McGrath
the
reputation
of
being
the
two
best
Greyhounds
that
ever
ran.
But
Master
McGrath
came
first.
During
his
remarkable
career
in
public
he
won
thirty-six
courses
out
of
thirty-seven,
the
only
time
that
he
was
defeated
being
the
1870
at
his
third
attempt
to
win
the
Waterloo
Cup,
and
the
flag
went
up
in
favour
of
Mr.
Trevor's
Lady
Lyons.
He,
however,
retrieved
his
good
fortune
the
following
year,
when
he
again
ran
through
the
stake.
Fullerton,
who,
when
he
won
all
his
honours,
was
the
property
of
Colonel
North,
was
bred
by
Mr.
James
Dent
in
Northumberland.
Colonel
North
gave
850
guineas
for
him,
which
was
then
stated
to
be
the
highest
price
ever
paid
for
a
Greyhound.
He
ran
five
times
altogether
for
the
Waterloo
Cup,
and
was
declared
the
winner
on
four
occasions.
The
first
time
was
in
1889,
when
he
divided
with
his
kennel
companion
Troughend.
Then
he
won
the
Cup
outright
the
three
following
years.
In
1893,
however,
after
having
been
put
to
the
stud,
at
which
he
proved
a
failure,
he
was
again
trained
for
the
Cup,
but
age
had
begun
to
tell
its
tale,
and
after
winning
one
course
he
was
beaten
by
Mr.
Keating's
Full
Captain,
in
the
second.
This
was
one
of
the
two
occasions
upon
which
out
of
thirty-three
courses
he
failed
to
raise
the
flag.
On
the
other
he
was
beaten
by
Mr.
Gladstone's
Greengage,
when
running
the
deciding
course
at
Haydock
Park.
