Tibthorpe,-Meteor by Thunderbolt (son of Stockwell),-Duty by
Rifleman,-a dau. of Sleight of Hand, was bred by Prince Soltykoff in
1885; and carried the familiar pink jacket and black cap of that good
sportsman throughout his racing career. Sheen, although a splendid
stayer, was decidedly deficient in speed. He was of the short-coupled,
almost cobby, type; and very like his sire, though of a somewhat darker
colour. Equally good to meet or follow, he was one of the nicest little
horses it was possible to imagine, and carried a rare bloom when in
training. Like his sire, he showed his best form somewhat late in life;
and his strong characteristics were stamina and marked ability to carry
weight.  Principal Performances. 1887 and 1888. Sheen altogether
failed to distinguish himself either as a two or three year old. 1889.
Won the Biennial at Newmarket and the Jockey Club Cup. 1890.
