one. Some have tried and failed V reeding thoroughbred mares for trotters, 

 starting on all pedigree and no mare. 



My favorite foundation for trotters is a tried trotting sire to a thorough- 

 bred mare of the right form and square gait, and that has produced a trotter 

 herself in 2:30 or under, then we have a strictly thoroughbred mare (the 

 dams of Fisk's Mambrino Chief and Lady Prewitt for example) and the 

 trot to start on, and a good prospect for a trotter in the first or second pro- 

 duce. I have now a select number of brood mares who have either dams or 

 grandams thoroughbred, and in quality are an ormament to any breeding 

 establishment.

SUCCESSFUL TROTTING SIRES 



Must be uniform breeders, getting a great number of colts that can trot in 

 three minutes or less, and frequently a first-class trotter. We must breed 

 where there are many prizes to the blanks. It is bad policy to run or take 

 the risk of breeding a valuable mare to a horse that breeds too many blanks
