IMPORTED SAIN 



Better than Third in Eight Races at Ttc-o Years Old, and a thoroughly tried sire. 

 Property of B. Schnciber, Bridgcton, Mo. 



Sain i$ a great racehorse, better than his public record would at first indicate. He 

 started at^two years old, on the Montana tracks, in eight races, winning twice, and sec- 

 ond in the other six, being twice beaten by May W., the fastest sprinter of her day He 

 ran second to her at four furlongs in .4914, Sally Sensible third and John Tyler fourth 

 Second again to May W. at five furlongs in I :02, Notice third and Senator Dubois 

 fourth. Won at a half-mile in 48^ seconds, beating Paul Jones, Shot Silk, Pat Mor- 

 rissey, Memento and Cyrus King. Ran second to Gold Bug (aged), Tampa third at 

 six furlongs in i :i$y 4 with Pic Nic and Linville unplaced. Ran second to Jim Black- 

 burn at 5 furlongs in i :O2, with Paul Jones third and Blue Sign fourth. Ran second 

 to Baby Ruth, six furlongs, in I :i4^, beating Model, March and Sunrise. Ran second 

 to Montana (aged), 105 pounds, beating Billy McCloskey, Encino, Flashlight and 

 Model, one mile in I :44^. Won at six furlongs in I :i5^4, beating Bill Howard, Gold 

 Bug, Jim Bozeman and Encino. 



At three years old he raced at the Ingleside track, San Francisco, against the very 

 best horses in California. In all of his eleven races run in 1897 he never but once 

 started on a good track. That was in his first attempt, that year, in which he started 

 in a field of ten, of which there were four of his own age and he gave from five to ten 

 pounds to each of them, finishing outside the money, the race .being won by Sport Mc- 

 Allister. Ran third to Osric and Orrezo, with six others unplaced, seven furlongs in 

 i :28^4- Ran unplaced in a field of fourteen, at six furlongs, conceding eleven pounds 

 to first and third and fourteen to second horse. Time 1 115. Ran last at one mile 

 to Buckwa, Wheel of Fortune and Greyhurst (conceding 3 pounds to the latter), one 

 mile in i :42 on a fairly good track. Ran eighth in a field of eleven, Last Chance 

 first, Japanese second, Examiner third, conceding 18 pounds to the winner and 12 

 pounds to second. One mile in i -.44^, track slow. Ran second to Suisun, giving her 

 ten pounds, with six others behind him, seven furlongs in i :34^2- Won at one mile in 

 i :45^2 on a slow track with 96^ pounds, giving weight to eight others. Won at a 

 mile and a quarter in 2:13, on a heavy track, beating Greyhurst, Lincoln and two 

 others at 15 to i. Ran second to Geyser (the fastest horse in California the next year) 

 at a mile in i :45^4, giving weight to all but Geyser. Was three lengths ahead of 

 the third horse, conceding five pounds. Ran third to Ostler Joe and The Bachelor, 

 beating Morte Fonso and conceding weight to everything in the race. Time, 2:13, track 

 fetlock deep. Ran second to Arrezo, 115 on each, beating Sweet William, Morena and 

 Lady Hurst, seven furlongs in i :33. This was Sam's last race and he was shortly 

 afterwards sold to Mr. Schreiber, who placed him at the head of his Woodland Stud, 

 near Bridgeton, Mo., where he has acquitted himself most creditably and proved him- 

 self the best horse in America from the male-line of Blacklock, which is now at the 

 head of the English turf through Galopin and St. Simon. Imported Sain is already, 

 though quite a young horse, the sire of such well known winners as Otis (St. Louis 

 Derby,) Satchel, Prinkerton, Hersain, Schwalbe, Schwarzwald, Tom Shelly, Angleta, 

 Buchanan, Deutschland, Dorice, Geheimniss, Mildred B, Mindora, Otto Stifel, Picquart, 

 all performers of well recognized merit. 



Really, the best descendant of the great St. Simon, now to be found in America, 

 is imported Sain, whose pedigree is to be found in the after part of this book. Sain 

 is by St. Serf, who was a good horse, both on the turf and in the stud, but has never 

 yet reached the figures attained by Persimmon and St. Frusquin, several years his 

 junior. Sain is a No. 3 horse and goes back to the dam of the two True Blues through 

 Quiver, dam of those two marvelous filles, La Fleche and Memoir, both of which won 

 the Oaks and St. Leger, being the only two full sisters to win both those events. 

 Then they run back to Brown Bess, second dam of the great Musket ; and still further 

 back to the Gohanna mare which produced Tramp, the only stallion that could be 

 properly called a rival to Whalebone. Couple this with the fact that Satchel, who 

 is Sain's second dam, is by Galopin, a No. 3 horse also, and it becomes almost im- 

 possible for any fair-minded student of breeding to imagine how any horse could be 

 better bred than Sain. 



Sain, like Maxnic, comes from the great No. 3 family from which came Sir Peter,
