Lady Suffolk trotted a mile under the saddle
in 2:26 and in 1851, Tacony, also under
saddle, In 2:o5,5. In 1850 Flora Temple made
n mile in 2:25E, and in the same year broke
the record again in 2.24lS. Three years later,
in 1859, she lowered tue record TO 2;l9sl, and
she held the title of queen of the track till

In 2:l7Il. He had made mile in 2;lslI in
1865, but this was under the saddle. 1t was
not until 1871 that Dexter was dethroned by
Goldsmith Maid, who trotted mile in har-
ness in 2l7, knocking of quarter Of a sec
ond of Dexter's best record. In 1872 she cut
under her own record, making q new one OF

Two years later, In 1874, IN a series OF beau-
tiful performances she cut the figures down
to 2:l6, 2l5lS, 2:lisI and 2l4. The country
went wild over her and worshiped at her
shrine for four years. when Rarus r,ipned
