Tramp b c 1810 (Dick Andrews - Mare, by Gohanna). Sire Line Eclipse. Family 3.

Tramp was bred in Yorkshire by Richard Watt of Bishop Burton near Beverley who bred the St Leger winners Altisidora (ch f 1810 Dick Andrews) and Memnon (b c 1822 Whisker), the Oaks winner Manuella (b f 1809 Dick Andrews) and the One Thousand Guineas winner Cara (b f 1836 Belshazzar). Bishop Burton was also home to Champion Sire Blacklock (b c 1814 Whitelock). Prior to Blacklock Mr Watt declined to keep a stallion so Tramp was sold on for £300 to a new owner who kept him for only two years and parted with him for £1400. He was half brother to a Whisker Mare (ch f 1820 Whisker) who became the dam of the Royal Hunt Cup winner Knight of the Whistle (ch c 1838 Velocipede).

When young he was said to be very narrow like "all of the tribe" of Joe Andrews and Dick Andrews, but later grew into himself and became "one of the grandest-boned and grandest-looking horses in England." He was then described as a "nice level horse, standing just fifteen hands and two inches high, being long and low, and rather straight in his back."

On the turf he was thought to be an excellent four-mile horse. The 1814 Subscription Purse at York, where he was only just beaten by Prime Minister (br c 1810 Sancho), was said to have created the most excitement on the Knavesmire before the 1850 rivalry between Voltigeur (br c 1847 Voltaire) and The Flying Dutchman (br c 1846 Bay Middleton).

He was also successful in the stud and at the time of his death his stock had won nearly £68,000 and included two Derby winners, St Giles (ch c 1829) and Dangerous (ch c 1830), one St Leger winner, Barefoot (ch c 1820), and two of The Whip, Zinganee (b c 1825) and Little Red Rover (ch c 1827). He also got the stallions Lottery (br c 1820) and Liverpool (b c 1828). In December of 1835 "poor old Tramp, worn out with age, was shot at How Bridge farm, near Malton".
