label: Description
content: Trustee was foaled in 1837 from Trustee and Fanny Pollen, a distant mare of Messenger. Trustee’s pedigree is significant because it represents a shift from the traditional method of breeding running stallions to trotting mares to the newer method of breeding proven trotting champions together. He was famous for trotting 20 miles in 35.5 minutes in 1848.
