Aristides is a chestnut colt, with a star, and two white pasterns behind.
He stands fifteen hands, one and three-quarter inches high. He has a neat
head and neck running into rather a straight shoulder, with great length,
good barrel, excellent hips and stifles, sound feet and legs well under
him. He has fine turn of speed, and from the way he finished up the Derby
to-day gives every evidence of being a good stayer. He was bred by Mr. H.
P. McGrath, at McGrathiana Stud Farm, near Lexington, Ky., and is by Imp.
Leamington, out of Sarong, by Lexington, her dam The Greek Slave, by Imp.
