Royalist the Imported Horse Begins Season at Washington Georgia
An advertisement proclaims Royalist, the celebrated imported horse, standing in Washington Georgia at twenty five dollars for the season payable by note, with options to discharge earlier, and a fee to insure a foal. Royalist is described as an outstanding bay with powerful frame, praised for beauty and movement, and backed by pedigree drawing from Saltram Eclipse and Herod. The notice cites endorsements from breeders and notes Royalist’s performance in English racing and stud-book legitimacy, including a claim of royal lineage and notable wins at Newmarket and Cra‑ven.
