1t VIII be seen that all the top record
breakers excepting Lady Suffolk and Flora
Temple weresired by sons of Hambletonian
excepting Dexter, who was his son, and
AliX, whose dam was sired by a son Of
Han. bic tonian. EighIy-fise horses have
trOtted in 2:10 oT better, and, strange as il
may seen, all but nine are closely related
to Hambetonian.
The eamOuntofmOney paid for the progeny
of HamblctOniani is enormous. j give a few
samples OF the prices paid for son.e: Arion
sold for $i25,O0o; Axtell, S105, 900; Sunol,
$50 900; Maud S, SAL, 900; Nancy Hanks,
$4,000; Rarus. sac, 900; Dexter, $4,000;
Stamboul, $40 600; Edward Everett, $780,
600; total, S5o7 900 for nine of his
family.
The top notch PAGERS also are closely
related to HambIetonian. John L. Gentry,
eco 12, was sired by Ashland Wilkes,
grandson OF Hambietonien, and his dam,
Damewood 10y Wedgewoed, who was sired
by Belmont, grandson of Hamhletonian
Robert J., 2:O1 IL, by Hartford, grand
sonofHamhletonian, andhis dam, Geraldine,
by Jay Gould, who was a son of Handle
tonian.
Joe Patchen, 800 1-2, by Patchen Wilkes,
grandson Of Hanlbletonian.
Hamhletonian was dark hay. about
/ SO hands. His hind ankles were white,
with white star on his forehead. He
was foaledin $40 and was bred by Jonas
Seelev, of Sugar Loaf. Orange county,
N. Y, and sold the same year to William
Rysdyk. of Chester, Grange county, n. Y,
together with his dam, for Sl25. Mr..
Rysdyk was poor man at that tine
and gave his note for the colt and dam.
The mother Of Hanibletonian was bred
10y Charles Kent, OF Stone Plain, n. T.,
aud was called the Charles Kent mare.
She was foaled in / 1S34 and was IF
teen years old when she foaled her famous
son, Hambletonian. Her sire was Bell
founder, who was foaIed in England in
1916 and brought To this country i'll 1922
He was eighteen years old when he sired
the Charles Kent mare. He is SAID To
have been the fastest trotter ever bred
in the Norfolk district. ReHfounder's 8 dam
was Velocity, and in 1908 she trotted
% miles in 1 hour and AZ minutes and
i q miles In j hour 1T will he seen,
therefore, that the trotting Inheritance
of the Charles Kent mare was strong,
and we dust lot lose sight OF the fact
and mast give the dam Of tie great re
due credit for her great merits.
The Kent mare had the reputation of
being the boss of tie road around her
section OF the country in her day Her
career was cut short by an accident, and
she was sold to Jonas Seely for breeding
purposes. Her sire, Bellfounder, was a
noted roadster, and his dam, Velocity,
also noted trotting mare. Old One Eye,
thedam of the Kent mare, was wonderful
trotting mare. Mr.. Seely, her owner, said
she often ran away with him on trot.
So it will be seen that the ancestors of
Hambletonian's dam on both sides We're
of trotting stock, while but one of All
dallah's ancestors showed any trotting
habits, and that one was AmaZonia, his
dam.
Mr. Rysdyk was very chary OF Hainhle-
tonian. Happy Medium, the sire OF Nancy
and his dam was the Celebrated mare
Princess AS Happy Medium was a very
promising colt, the owner of Princess sent
her to be bred TO Hambletonian again, but
MI Rysdyk refused to allow it. advancing
as his only reason that he did not want
horse colts bred which would be likely 70
rival Hambletonian in popularity
Hambietonian was sired by Abdallah
who was by Mambrino, and he by Messen-
ger, who was imported to this country in
ITS. AbdaIlah's dam was Amazonia, and
she had repu tation as q roadster
AT three years OF age Hambletonian was
