In Vol. 14, ASB, p. 506, the entry for Maggie Murphy is as follows: Maggie Murphy, br. or blk., 1919; bred by J. E. Madden; owned by I. F. Barrett, Trenton,...
Hi Pat, ... Tx Maggie was bred by J. E. Madden, owned by I. F. Barrett, Trenton, Texas. That would imply that Barrett is the breeder of record of the colt. You...
I just bought a book that looks pretty good, via the Edward R. Hamilton book catalog. It's called "War Horse: Mounting the Cavalry with America's Finest...
Ann..Yes, I have it...it is of some help and very interesting...but I'm digging deeper. It has a wonderful cover and bound in an electric blue. A very heavy...
I know these horses must have probably been discussed time and time again...but I'm getting a headache, going thru all the posts from the beginning. His dam...
Does anyone have this book (1958) and if so...how accurate do you feel the information in it is? Its been so many years since I read it...I just forgot to...
Pat, Everything I have (all secondary or tertiary) says Copperbottom was transshipped from New Orleans to Galveston. May I ask the source for the ridden...
... Is there anything, anywhere, to indicate that Copperbottom was ever raced? That may be one reason he's not mentioned in the book. Other than in that...
Dear Collaborators, Isonomy (1875) appears in the pedigree of two flamboyant white barrel marked equines of the early 1900's. These were GREY LAG (1918) and ...
Hi Judy... In Robt Denhardts "Foundation Sires of the American Quarter Horse", page 80...I quote..."COPPER BOTTOM was foaled in 1828, a sorre, and bred by...
Judy...As stated before...it had been so many years since I read this book...just about an hour ago...I found in the back of the book...there is a list:...

Yes, Pat, but you forgot one of the most interesting tidbits...it mentions that Henry of Navarre and Chilhowee and Octagon are buried at the Front Royal...
Hallo, Anne, maybe it's interesting you. Octagon had a son named Norman (Octagon-Niniveh by the Ill-Used). He won 2000 Guineas and St. Leger in England. He was...
Yes Anne...sorry for not mentioning it, Pat ... at ... Yippee! ... in ... interesting...but ... Mefferd ... Great gift ideas can be found at the Thoroughbred...
... I don't *think* so, Betsy, but I'm not absolutely certain. It seems to me that the term galloway had ceased, at some earlier point in time, to refer to...
Thanks Bettina! Norman is a horse who often gets overlooked in August Belmont's record as a breeder because he raced in Europe, not America. Did he sire ...
I recently found a copy of the out of print book "Long Time Gone" about extinct British racecourses, and I wonder why no one has written a similar book about...
... Pat, The more I think about the "ridden overland to Galveston" from New Orleans part, the more I doubt it. That could be a rather swampy walk unless the...
I think this is an excellent idea. Where to start? It's always best to start from the beginning. I'd find where the earliest racing was held in North America...
Hi Ann, Just to add few details. Norman was imported in 1910. As far as I know, he had little success as sire in Hungary - no big race winners. Miodrag ... ...
... My own suggestion would be somewhat different. I'd start with whatever I had in front of me and work on, for example, Montgomery Park first. Then I'd deal...
Dear Anne, Thanks for reminding me GALLINULE, which is a must in the list. Let see what other names ought to be listed: ISINGLASS (1890)--> sire of STAR SHOOT...
If you need some Hialeah Park insights, I was on the backside there from 1975 to about 1978. What an awesome place that was! Still is pretty, for what it's...
... Thank you, Sandy, It is actually a relief to hear someone say that as I have not been able to find anything to indicate that Galloways were imported to...
