Other horses prior to 1800 were, according to "Panton": 



" 1792, COMET (Lewis') by old Janus; good stallion. 1792, JUPITER 

 (Cross') by old Janus; good quarter racer. 1791-8, Weakley's 

 WILDAIR, by Symmes' Wildair, out of a thoroughbred; very good 

 stallion. Was exchanged to Kentucky, 1799, for GREY ALFRED by 

 Lindsay's Arabian, who stood a season or two and returned to
