Knee Deep in Clover 81 



that half a century later it was said that "there is scarcely 

 a good stallion in England today that does not possess a 

 strain of the blood of this great horse"; and in America 

 "it is safe to say that few or none of the most famous 

 horses now on the turf but have a cross of Glencoe." 

 Among Glencoe's get in this country was Reel who won 

 every race she ran except the last in which she broke down; 

 and who produced Le Compte and War Dance, both bred 

 in Louisiana, the property of Thomas J. Wells. Reel also 

 produced Starke and Prioress. Among Glencoe's many 

 other famous daughters were Fanny King who produced 

 Brown Dick; Nannie Lewis who produced Aldebaran; 

 Topaz who produced Waterloo, Austerlitz, Wagram, 

 Cotton and Lodi; Magnolia who produced Princeton, 

 Skedaddle, Daniel Boone and Kentucky; Rhoda who 

 produced Fleetwing; Novice who produced Norfolk; 

 Nebula who produced Asteroid, Sue Lewis and Asterisk; 

 the dam of Goodwood and the dam of Idlewild. Others, 

 still, of Glencoe's distinguished get were Highlander, 

 Pryor, Frankfort, Peytona and Charmer, the latter the 

 best mare of her day. "As a sire of brood mares no 

 horse native or imported equals him," says Bruce. 

 Among the get of Stockwell, Ratalpan and King Tom 

 were a great many winners of the Derby, the Oaks and 

 the Doncaster St. Leger. 



Glencoe stood in Alabama at $100 until 1844, but 

 served comparatively few mares besides those of his 

 owner, for reasons previously given. Most of his colts 

 bred by Jackson were sold to Thomas J. Wells and other 

 Southern turfmen. Wells paid Jackson $6,000 for one 

 half interest in six "young things," the list comprising 

 three sucklings by Glencoe, two 2-year olds or less by 

 Leviathan and one 2-year old by Mango. This was one 

 of many similar sales noted at the time.
