PLENIPO by imp. Bonnie Scotland, son of lago, bred by B. F. Cockrill, Richland 

 stud, Tenn., foaled 1874, dam Dora by imp. Australian, son of West Australian, ou^ 

 of Lindora by Lexington, son of Boston. Plenipo was one of the most promising 

 colts in Tennessee, but like many others, his trainer was not satisfied with good work 

 and great speed, so he fell a victim to too many trials, the fate of very many good 

 horses. At three-year old ran second to Melvern in Commercial Hotel Stake, at 

 Nashville, 1J miles in 2:14, track heavy; in this race, Felicia, Joe Burt, Alice 

 Murphy and two others were behind him. Complaining he was laid up and started in 

 one race, when six years old, and was unplaced. Plenipo was named from his 

 striking resemblance to the famous Lion of Doncaster, Eng. , Plenipotentiary, and is 

 from one of the racing families of America, from it came Picayune, the great 

 grandam of Plenipo, she was a fine race-mare, and the dam of the famous race-horses 

 Doubloon, Florin, Louis D'or, she was also the grandam of Quartermaster, the great 

 grandam of Madge, Ventilator, and the great grandam of Vagrant, Bounce, Ella and 

 other good ones. He has an infusion of the blood of Tramp, Buzzard, Plenipotentiary 

 and Whalebone, through Bonnie Scotland, and the Melbourne, Emilius and Whisker 

 blood through Australian, which is well fortified through his dam with Archy and 

 Diomed, and doubled on that of the Godolphin Arabian (Barb). Plenipo is a chestnut, 

 with white stripe in his face, and very much resembles the pictures of the great 

 English horse, Plenipotentiary, hence his name. He is full of substance and quality, 

 with good legs and feet, and taking him all over it would be difficult to find a finer 

 specimen of a race-horse.
