BUILDING A CHAMPION 



Of those who saw Hollyrood Bob win the three- 

 year-old trot in 2:04% at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1918, 

 how many stopped to consider that the production of 

 this horse represents in the first four generations 

 the combined efforts of twenty-six breeders extend- 

 ing over a period of eighty years and whose 

 establishments were located in eleven states. One 

 link in the chain of inheritance was found in Que- 

 bec by a Yankee peddler. 



An examination of Hollyrood Bob's tabulated 

 pedigree for four removes shows that of the thirty 

 individuals appearing in same fifteen were bred 

 in Kentucky where he was foaled, three in New York 

 state, two each in Michigan and Iowa, one each in 

 Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri, California, Ten- 

 nessee and Vermont, while one is unknown as no 

 one ever produced any evidence to show where Jenny 

 Lind, the dam of Tackey, came from, although she 

 is credited to a horse called Bellefounder. 



In order to illustrate this the name and address 

 when known, of the breeder of each horse in this 

 pedigree and the horse or horses bred by him, is 

 appended : 



Breeder : 

 J. L. Dodge, Lexington, Ky., (Hollyrood Bob, 

 2:043/^). 



First Remove: 

 D. D. Streeter, Kalamazoo, Mich. (Peter the Great, 

 2:063/4).
