Foigh-a-Ballagh, the winner of the Great St. Leger and Grand Duke Michael Stakes, drawn by Herring, 1844. The racehorse Faugh-a-Ballagh was the first Irish-bred horse to win the St Leger Stakes at Doncaster. 'He is the property of Mr. Irwin, who, in July 1842, purchased him of Mr. G. Knox, of Brownstown House, Kildare, by whom he was bred. He is a brown horse of fine temper, and good courage...He stands fifteen hands three and a half inches high; he has a good head, well set on to a light neck; his shoulders lie well back; his back is straight, with arched loins and long quarters, the tail high set on; deep in the brisket; capital ribs, fore and hind; good arms, thighs, and hocks; full in the gaskins, smallish flat legs, and good open feet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
