Bedford and Medley. Cora, from an injury, left the turf 

 at 3 years, but was considered a flyer. All of these 

 mares were kept at "Station Camp." 



When purchased, Atalanta was in foal to Boston and 

 Trifle to American Eclipse. For each of these foals, as 

 sucklings or yearlings, their owners were offered more 

 than they had paid for both mares. Atalanta's foal was 

 named Cost Johnson and became celebrated. Trifle pro- 

 duced two other foals by American Eclipse: Miss Peyton 

 (in 1843) and Gloriana (in 1846) later owned by Jo C. 

 Guild, as stated. 



In addition to Balie Peyton's horses, there were at 

 Station Camp during the 30*8 a number owned by two of 

 his brothers, William Randolph ("Ran") and Robert 

 Holmes Peyton. "Ran" Peyton owned Black Kitty 

 Clover, a famous mare by American Eclipse, and a 

 number of young ones by Ratler and Bertrand, valued at 

 from $1,500 to $3,000 each. 



Thus Balie Peyton and his brothers laid the foundation 

 of a stud that produced many fine horses during the next 

 twenty years; and the remnants produced some good 

 ones "after the war." 



Satellite, by Albion, out of a Leviathan mare (g. dam 

 imp Anna Maria) ran successfully in England. Satellite's 

 dam, bred to Thomas Barry's O'Meara (son of Glencoe, 

 dam by Leviathan), produced Fanny McAIister (1858), 

 who produced, among others, Muggins by Jack Malone 

 and Richelieu by Hiawatha. Chickamauga, by Jack 

 Malone, was out of Alboni who produced eleven other 

 foals, the last in 1872. Alboni was by Albion, dam Noty 

 Price by Cost Johnson. All the above named were famous 

 horses of their time.
