56 The American Thoroughbred 



Drone Mare, foaled 1800, bred by Colonel 

 Talmadge, got by the imported horse Drone (son 

 of Herod) ; her dam Harlot, imported by Colonel 

 Talmadge, was got by a full-bred son of Herod 

 out of a Snap mare ; she was out of Lord Butie's 

 Harlot. 



Drone Mare, full sister to the above, foaled 

 1801. 



Spread Eagle Mare, foaled 1803, her dam by 

 Brilliant, g. dam by Shadow, g. g. dam by Fear- 

 nought out of a thoroughbred mare — sold. 



Fantail, bred by John Goode, Esq., of Meck- 

 lenburg, Virginia. She was got by a son of 

 Shark from a mare doubly crossed by Janus, 

 and got by his horse Twig, by Warning out of 

 a full-bred Janus mare; Warning was got by 

 Fearnought, also out of a Janus mare. 



It would be invidious to say who in the njext 

 generation among the many conspicuous char- 

 acters on the South Carolina turf stood in the 

 foremost rank. It is well to begin, however, with 

 Colonel Singleton, not only as " an older soldier," 

 but as a well-known breeder, and the fortunate 

 possessor of many good horses for a long series 

 of years.
