Lord Murphy (formerly Patmos), bay colt, star and snip running down over
the nostrils, with two white heels behind extending nearly half way to the
hocks. He stands full 15 hands 3-1/2 inches high, has a neat head and
neck, plenty of length, good hips, quarters and stifles, with sound feet
and legs. He has a great turn of speed, the first and greatest requisite
in a race horse, and is a Lexington looking youngster, and must bring his
sire, Pat Malloy, prominently to the front as one of the best sons of
Lexington at the stud.
Lord Murphy was bred by J. T. Carter, Gallatin, Tenn., and purchased the
spring he was two years old by Messrs. G. W. Darden and G. H. Rice of
Nashville, Tenn., by Pat Malloy, out of Wenonah by Capt. Elgee, her dam by
imp. Albion, out of a mare by Pacific, running back through Bet Bosley, by
imp. Bluster to imported Mare of Harrison of Brandon.
