content: Smuggler was foaled in 1866 in Ohio. He trained in Leavenworth, Kansas under W.E. Tough. Colonel Russell, also the owner of Fearnaught, bought Smuggler for $30,000 and brought him to Milton, Massachusetts. To keep his gate at a trot, Smuggler’s front hoofs were weighed down with 24 ounces of lead. Smuggler’s fastest time, 2:15 ¼, was achieved in Hartford on August 31, 1876. One of his greatest rivals was Great Eastern, against whom he raced twice in October 1876.

content: Haskell and Allen’s most memorable productions were their horse prints. A Boston based publisher of lithographs, the firm seems to have issued more large folio images than small. Haskell began as a print seller with Haskell and Ripley (1868) but in 1869 he began a partnership with George Allen. In 1873 they moved to 61 Hanover St in Boston where they prospered for a few years. They went bankrupt in 1878.
