There is apparently u great difference in
the ~trotting qualities OF thorough blood, OF,
NJ 1t 10 often termed, in the plastic quail
ties or susceptibility Of being impressed
with the t~rottilg instinct. American Star
WAS. perhaps, the first horse largely or
wholly thoroughbred to figure prominently
in the pedigree OF t%rotters. Upon the blood
of American Star Hambletoninn got all of
his direct extreme specd. Outside Of tho
ftar blood Hnmbletonian never sired a 800
performer. Lady Thorn, 2.1slIf1, was prob
ably the fastest trotter OF her day, if not at
any time up to the time OF Maud S and Jay
Eye See. She represented u union OF NAM
brine Chief and the blood OF Gano, son OF
thoroughbred Eclipse. Lady Thorn was a
full sister to Mnmbrino Patchen, and all
readers know what the blood Of Mnmhrino
potahen has done for the trot-
ting turf. II has been to George
Wilkes what the blood of American Star
was to his sire, Hambletonian. The blood
Of Bonnie Scotland has been mn important
factor in successful trottIng pedigrees. and
20 has that Of Lexington, both taking
kindly to the trotsing action. Indeed, Bon
MIC Scotland has sired one, and perhaps
two, $50 performers. Trutting breeders
not lose sight of the fact that the
thorough blood that has been most success
fnl in producing great ~tfotters Ia the blood
has been most successful III producing
great r%acehorsas. Az an instance thut the
essential qualities for success lia be-
hind the gnit, | mentioned in n former
article the case OF the mare Lightsome, by
Glencoe. Ia Lexington sue threw tho dam
Of s~alvator. and to Alexander's Abaallah she
threw the dam 81 Favorite, 2:l5, a great
race mare, and also almost an ideal OF
racing conformation.
