------------
Unbeaten in races in India.

Imported back to India when bought by the Mahararjah of Patalia.
Blitz taken from the Arab horse by Spencer Borden.
....R30,000 were offered and refused for either Rex or Blitz. This last-named horse was certainly one of the greatest stake winners for his inches that the world has ever seen. Bought originally by Lieut. O\\\\\\\'Farrell of the 6th Dragoons for R400 ($200) he was never beaten. After winning the Civil Service Cup for the second time, this owner and partners bought him in no less than fourteen pools, whose actual aggregate value was $60,000. Later, he was bought by Lord William Beresford, and used in the stud in England, to a limited degree. Afterwards he passed into the possession of the Maharajah of Patiala, who took him back to India and used him for breeding. He is described by one who know him well, in these words:
\\\\He is for his size, the most remarkable animal ever foaled. He is milk white with black muzzle, which can be put in a pint pot. Weight makes no difference to him.\\\\
