ambidexter

Ambidexter raced in the colours of various members of the group.

Abbondanza is also known for being an ambidexter surgeon.

The term ambidexter in English was originally used in a legal sense of jurors who accepted bribes from both parties for their verdict.

Ambidexter may refer to:

Ambidexter made his first appearance on 19 May at York Racecourse, when he ran in the ownership of Hill.

On 13 September, Ambidexter ran in a £50 race in heats at Wakefield.

Ambidexter was off the course for eleven months after his St Leger victory, reappearing at York on 23 August 1791.

The nameless colt won the race from Spadille, with Ambidexter fourth and Pewett seventh.

The play is largely written in rhyming fourteener couplets, with some irregular heroic verse (as in the speeches of the comic character Ambidexter).

Ambidexter (foaled 1787) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1790.

A week later Ambidexter made his first appearance in the colours of Giles Crompton when he ran in a race in heats at Chesterfield.

Ambidexter never appeared on the lists of stallions whose services were advertised in the Racing Calendar, and he has no offspring listed in the General Stud Book.

In August, Ambidexter returned to York where he finished second to Henry Pierse's grey filly Contessina in a two-mile sweepstakes.

Ridden by his trainer George Searle, Ambidexter won the classic from Lord Archibald Hamilton's unnamed bay colt, with Spanker in third.

On 28 September, Ambidexter was one of eight three-year-olds, from an original entry of fifteen, to contest the St Leger Stakes over two miles at Doncaster Racecourse.

Ambidexterity is a rare quality also in the medical field: the Scottish anatomist John Lizars was known to be ambidexter, as well as Marco Abbondanza, the Italian eye surgeon.

Ambidexter was a bay horse sired by the 1783 St Leger winner Phoenomenon who stood as a stallion in Yorkshire for several years before being exported to the United States where he died in 1798.

Ambidexter's last recorded race was the Gold Cup at Doncaster on 28 September, an event which brought together four winners of the St Leger: Ambidexter, Young Traveller, Pewett and Spadille.

As a grand-daughter of the Old England mare, the foundation mare of Thoroughbred family 2-t, Miss Judy was closely related to many good horses of the time including Theodore, Blacklock, Ambidexter and Imperatrix.

According to the General Stud Book Ambidexter was bred by R Hill and was the fourth of ten foals produced by Manilla, a mare bred by Reverend Henry Goodricke, Rector of Aldborough.

Calef calls it "perfectly Ambidexter, giving as great as greater Encouragement to proceed in those dark methods, then cautions against them... indeed the Advice then given, looks most like a thing of his Composing, as carrying both Fire to increase and Water to quench the Conflagration."
