To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • 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.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

  • Comparison of Head Morphometric Traits Within Five Selected Performance Types of Quarter Horses(Eguus Cabullus) Redacted for Privacy
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Elana Morgana Smith for the degree of Master of Science in Animal Science Presented on October 25, 2002 Title: Comparison of Head Morphometric Traits Within Five Selected Performance Types of Quarter Horses(Eguus cabullus) Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Thomas F. Savage A study was conducted to investigate if morphometric facial measurements could be utilized to differentiate five categorical performance types of Quarter Horses. The five categories being Western, Halter, English, Reining, and Cutting. The measurements were collected from 323 registered Quarter Horses representing animals who ranged in age from one year to 30 years of age and one of three gender (Stallion, Gelding, and Mare) categories. Eight facial measurements were obtained from two geographic areas, Florida and Oregon. A correlation was performed and resulted in a reduction of the data from eight to five facial measurements, due to the presence of facial symmetry. The reduced data was subsequently analyzed by Multivariate Analysis, using the Wilks Lambda Analysis of Variance. The Main effects, age, gender, and categorical performance type were all significant (p<0.0001 to 0.00 1). Of the two-way interactions only age:gender was not significant (p>0.05) and the three- way interaction age:gender:type was also not significant (p>O.O5) Based upon the not significant (J)>O.O5) Based upon the results, the five original performance categories could be reduced to four (English, Halter, Cutting, and Western/Reining). This indicates that there are a number of similarities in facial measurements between the Western and Reining horses.

  • Preakness by Kathleen Jones
    Preakness by Kathleen Jones The 8th foal of Bay Leaf, Preakness was bred by Robert A. Alexander's celebrated Woodburn Stud, Kentucky. Consigned to the Woodburn sale of yearlings in 1868, we brought top price of $2000. The purchaser was Sanders Bruce, who compiled the first five volumes of the American Stud Book, and who was acting as an agent for Milton H. Sanford. Sanford owned Preakness Stud, near Lexington, and a similarly named farm near Paterson, New Jersey. The breeding stock was quartered at the Kentucky farm while the New Jersey farm, situated along Preakness creek, was held mainly as a training center. Here, famous runners like Loadstone, Lancaster, La Polka, Stamps, Mate, and Preakness were put through their paces. Sanford later sold his Lexington farm to Daniel Swigert, who renamed the farm Elmendorf. Bay Leaf tended to produce large foals, and Preakness was no exception. Because he needed extra time to mature, he was kept out of racing until age 3. He made his very first start in the Dinner Party Stakes at Pimlico on the first day of its inaugural meet in 1870. The colt Foster was expected to win, and friends were laughing at Sanford for entering his "cart horse" against him. Ridden by noted English jockey Billy Hayward, Preakness won easily in hand over Ecliptic, with favored Foster in third. That race has since been renamed The Dixie Handicap. It was his only start at age 3. He was put away to mature fully. At 4, Preakness won 3 of seven starts including two of the year's biggest races, the Westchester Cup (defeating Glenelg) and the Maturity Stakes (three miles), both at Jerome Park, New York City.
