ROBERT j.

The American Horse Breeder says
Of Robert j., who paced a mile in
2,02 IL at Indianapolis last summer:
The king of PAGERS is Il small bay
gcding, only about IL hands high, a
trillc on his knees, bred by II. j. G.
Walker, Williamsport, Pa, and foalcd
In 1883. His sire Is Hartford e. % ID.
The sire of Hartford was Harold, by
Rysdyks Hambletonian. lIartford's
dam, Judith, was by Mambrino Chief,
out Of a daughter of Zenith The lat
ter was a thoroughbred son of the
great race horse American Eclipse.
The dam of Zenith was by Sir Will
lam of Transport, the son of Sir Will
lam, by Sir Archy, that got the second
dam of Mambrino patchen. Sir Will
lam of Transports dam was Trans
port, by Nirginius Il noted son of the
renowned Sir Archy. The second dam
of Zenith was by Sumptcr, another
son of Sir Archy. The dam of Robert
J. cos 30, was by Jay Gould
cpl 10y, whose sire was Rysdyk' $
llamblctonian. JAY Gould's dam was
Lady Sanford. by Seely's American
Star, and Lady Sanford's dam was
Old Sorrel by EXton Eclipse. The
latter was Il son of the great four mile
race horse American Eclipse. and was
out of daughter of imported Exton.
1t Is not surprising that Robert j.
Is fast and game, considering the in
hertauce OF speed and game qualities
which he gets from his race-horse an
cestry. 1t does seem strange. how
ever, that he should not trot instead
OF pace. since his sire was by son Of
RySdyk's Hamblctonian with no
known pacing cross, and his dam by
another trotting- bred son OF Rysdyk's
Hamblctonian. 1t Is barely possible
that this tendency to pace may come
from some branch Of the Diomcd
family. Pocahontas was inbred to the
Diomed strain and had no known pac-
ing crosses in her pedigree. yet she
was the fastest PAGER OF her time and
one OF the fastest that ever lived. The
second dam OF Mamhrino Patchen.
which was by Sir William OF Trans
port, also paced. The performance Of
Robert j. shows that the two-minute
goal Is being approached gradually
but surely.
