  • Rise and Fall of Lexington's Sire Line
    June 3, 2006 Rise and fall of Lexington’s sire line by Rommy Faversham No bell will toll. No pronouncements offered. But, at some point, perhaps, in the next few years - if not indeed already - the legendary male line of Lexington will reach unconditional extinction, as the last of its painfully obscure male representatives takes his final breath. This once greatest of all American sire lines did not end with a bang but the most prolonged of whimpers, amassing well over a century of decay and failure. The male line of Lexington was initiated by the importation of his aging paternal great-great grandsire, *Diomed. Winner of the inaugural running of the Epsom Derby in 1780, the enigmatic Diomed was ultimately deemed a failure at stud in England and dispatched to Virginia in 1798. In his definitive text, Racing in America 1665-1865, esteemed Turf historian John Hervey wrote, “the success of [Diomed’s American] get was so immediate, so sweeping, as to blot out all precedent. He was in no long time regarded as the greatest progenitor yet seen”. In explaining this revolutionary shift in Thoroughbred bloodlines, Hervey noted, “the Diomeds exceeded in size and power any previous American family”. Described as a strong 15.3 hands, Diomed often produced offspring even larger than himself. Diomed’s best son, Sir Archy (1805) has been described as America’s first great runner and remains the oldest member of Racing’s Hall of Fame. Sir Archy’s phenomenal career at stud would ultimately earn him the soubriquet of “Godolphin Arabian of America”, which sought to epitomize his influence as well as underscore the saturation of his blood in subsequent generations.

Steinmetz Historians have generally ignored James Ben Ali Haggin, even though he represented one of the wealthiest and most influential entrepreneurs in West. And those who have written about Haggin have offered at best a cursory view of his Rancho Del Paso, which he developed into the world’s largest thoroughbred breeding farm. Located in Sacramento, California, the Rancho began as a rich man’s avocation, an expensive self-indulgence inspired by his own family’s racing experiences in his native Kentucky as well as by the examples offered by numerous affluent men of the age who used horse breeding and horseracing to broadcast their immense wealth. In California, Leland Stanford, George Hearst, Theodore Winters, Elias ―Lucky‖ Baldwin, Alvinza Hayward, Marcus Daly, and other ―nabobs‖ joined Haggin in establishing the ―sport of kings‖ in the Golden State.
