DALY'S DREAM OF BUILDING
UP 0M MONTANA GREATEST OF
BREEDING FARMS DM WORLD

ito head the stud it is no wonder the.
were SO eagerly sought after b.
anxious buyers.
This also applied to the BROOD
mares and their product as a list o
the principal ones will show. On
would hardly know where to com
mence and when to stop in trying
to enumerate them as every one O.
them had individuality and class.
Brood Mares
To Lady Reel must be given the
role of honor. This grand mare, the
dam of Hamburg, was out of Minnie
Gray, the dam of Domino. OF the
mares imported, Lucy Cross, the dam
of Crossover, Crackerbox and Cross
bun, all frequent winners, was by the
great st. Simon out of Verdigris by
Strathconan. Out of a line of Derby
winners came Biturica by Hamburg.
Biturica, after a very successful
campaign, was retired to the stud,
where her first foal produced Mas
kettle, the champion filly of her time.
Biturica, during her racing career,
ran second to Mamari, another DAILY
product, in 1902, in the Criterion
stakes.
PastoreIla
In 1898 DAILY imported Pastorella,
who produced the unbeaten Colin.
Fifteen wins in 10 starts, for purses
a~ggregating ~$184,438, placed Colin
fourth from the top of American
purse winners.
One of the best yearlings eve bred
at the famous Bitter Root farm was
the colt Moondyne, out of imported
Mintcake. He was killed by light
ming, a few weeks after the sale in
1901. Scottish Chief, another Mon
tana bred horse, was a consistent
performer. Senator Grady in 1893
was the best 2-year-old on the turf.
In the following year he was the ia
vorite for the American Derby but
al beaten by Rey Ell Santiti, Sena-
tor Grady running second.
Montana
Old timers fondly recount the feats
of Montana, greatest of which was
the winning of the Suburban handi-
cap in 1892. He was bred in Cali
fornia by j. H. Haggin, and vas one
of the best handicap horses of his
year. He entered the Suburban with
Snapper Garrison up It odds of 40
to 1, and cantered down in front of
Major Domino and Lamplighter in
2:07 2-5. He was the best Swear
old in 1892. His best performance
record was made as a 4-year-old.
Great Horses
Hundreds of other great perform
ers on the turf can be traced directly
to Days efforts. He was to a great
extent responsible for the success of
the late James R. Keene's Caselton
stud. Unless the Montana man had
purchased the best the market af-
forded when building up his stable it
would never have been possible for
Keene to have been the proud owner
of Sysonby or to have bred Colin. In
going over the list of great horses
that were produced because of Days
activity one finds these names in
cluded: Candle, Emporium, Elegy,
Frankfort, a full brother of Ham
burg; Golden Grain, Goldspinner,
Vesuvia, Wealth, Cameron, Balm of
Gilead, Flying B%uttress, Mowich,
Chiffon, Cormac, Darymen, Okuste,
Gregory, Killarney, Rue, Allopath,
Choate, Bonner, Lux Caste, Rubus,
Montana PEERLESS, Batha, Destitute,
The Weaver, Pigment, Egyptian Prin-
cess, Northern Star, Sinecure, Gulf
Stream, Pure Pepper, Winnecook,
Emigrant, Counterpoise, Beaugard,
Colonsay, Castilian, Francolin, lily
ria Astaria, Lotto, Leipsic, Olonetz,
Squid, Whorler and others.
Bitter Root Products
The following 29 horses, products
of the Bitter Root farm or from the
mares imported by DAILY, were win
ners of n stakes, worth $713,328:
Maskette, Sysonby, Follie Levy, AS
taria, Hamburg, Rams Horn, Lux
Casta, Berry Maid, Colin, Artful,
Wealth, Meelick, Flying B~uttress,
Clamor, Hamburg, Belle, Mamari,
Wild Mint, Prince Hamburg, Ogden,
Chaconac, Tammany, Castilian, Bur-
gomaster, Cameron, Imprint, Bath
ampton, Montana, Inflexible and
Donald Mcdonald.
If DAILY had lived a few years long
er he would have had in Hamburg,
Inflexible and Sysonby the three
greatest stations in the United
States and in a short time he would
have gained a corner on every race
horse in America and every stable
of consequence would have been at
his mercy. He was a great student
OF breeding and with the assistance
of the best judges their combined
judgment made possible the produc-
ton of these great horses.
