Fashion and Boston. Boston (1833; pedigree p.215) was the best horse in Virginia from 1836 to 1840, nearly all his races being in four-mile heats. Fashion (1837) was by imported Trustee. Trustee was third to Sir Giles in the Derby of 1832, both being owned by the confederacy of Ridsdale and Gully, and both being sold to America. (Sir Giles was a failure.) Fashion was the best horse in the North in 1840-42. When the two met at Camden in 1841, Boston was exhausted by racing and covering; no wonder Fashion won.
