The 2 : lO Trotters 93 



as 2 : 10 trotters, but as a matter of fact 

 there are 32 cases in which practically no 

 information is to be had. They are known 

 to be of trotting stock by their appearance 

 and actions, but no one knows when they 

 were born or what sires and dams they had. 

 In some cases we know the lines of descent 

 but have no dates. This is strongly indica- 

 tive of rough usage in many parts of the 

 country and at the hands of many persons. 

 Five of these are dams of 2 : 10 stallions, 

 nine are dams of 2 : 10 mares, and eighteen 

 are dams of 2 : 10 geldings. 



At the time these horses made their records 

 and before, it was more common to race 

 mares than to race stallions, but it was not 

 common to use for breeding purposes those 

 mares which had been to the race track. 

 As a consequence, dams with records are 

 less numerous than sires with records. 



Dams of 2 : 10 Stallions 



4 Dams with records average age: 1 1.00 years 



49 Dams without records average age: 9.57 years
