426 The American Thoroughbred 



She was stable companion to Salvator. He was 

 then a two-year-old. Beaten in the Futurity by 

 Proctor Knott, he came back in the Flatbush 

 Stakes, which is a much more severe trial, and 

 won it. Also he put to his credit the Maple 

 Stakes at Brooklyn and the Titan and Tuckahoe 

 at Jerome Park. This was the slashing big 

 chestnut colt by imported Prince Charlie out 

 of Salina by Lexington, who came afterward to 

 give us some stirring stories to tell. 



This year of 1888 marked his first appearance 

 upon the turf, where he was second to Proctor 

 Knott in the first Futurity to be run. Diablo 

 was also making his debut. He was then a two- 

 year-old. He picked up during the course of his 

 running the Great Eastern Handicap and the 

 June Stakes at Coney Island, the Holly Handi- 

 cap at Brooklyn, and the Pelham Stakes at Jerome 

 Park. It was also Proctor Knott's best season. 

 He was the chestnut Tennesseean by imported 

 Great Tom who had come up to New York under 

 Sam Bryant's guidance to win the Junior Cham- 

 pion and the Futurity, and he did win both of 

 them. Also he picked up the West Side Stakes at 

 Nashville before starting, and the Kenwood Stakes 

 at Washington Park before loading for the East.
