134 The Trotting and the Pacing Horse 



Dixie, Crop, and Minerva are other daughters of 

 Pilot Jr. who are in the list of great brood mares. 

 Pilot Medium, one of our great sires, from whose 

 loins came Peter the Great, 2,07^, sire of Sadie 

 Mac, 2.1 1 J, the winner of the Kentucky Futurity 

 in 1903, was by Happy Medium out of a daughter 

 of Pilot Jr. 



Tattler, bay horse, foaled in 1863, by Pilot Jr., 

 out of Telltale by Telamon, a thoroughbred, inbred 

 to Medoc by American Eclipse, trotted to a 

 record of 2.26 in 1868, and produced the two 

 noted campaign-trotting stallions, Voltaire, 2.20^, 

 and Indianapolis, 2.21. He passed to Henry N. 

 Smith, who bred from him, at Fashion Stud Farm, 

 the black stallion Rumor, 2.20, a sire of trotters 

 and producers of trotters, and Slander, 2.28, also 

 a sire of speed. Dan Mace once had Tattler in 

 his training stable and liked him, but Mr. Smith 

 was partial to other strains and the horse was 

 neglected and wasted away.
