Aus den Memoiren des William J. A. C. J. Cavendish-Bentinck, 6. Duke of Portland:

"It was all plain sailing as to Feronia, but the crux came when the price had to be settled for the foal (Atalanta) ... A lot of bargaining took place, and it was understood that Rosslyn eventually paid 7s. 6d. in cash, adding a wheelbarrow, and a matrimonial engagement for Uncle Clayton's (Feronia's seller) prize sow. I hardly supposed that the dam of a future Derby winner ever before or afterwards changed hands under such peculiar circumstances!"
