THE MORGAN HORSE 



D. B. Hibbard writes : " I bought Marshall Chief of Mr. Goodrich in the 

 fall of 1864; he had then got Primus, a phenomenal trotter, and with one 

 exception the fastest four-year-old that had ever appeared in public and 

 made a record of 2 136^. Primus was a pure-gaited and game trotter, and 

 in his youth contended with the best horses in the country. I entered him 

 at Detroit in the great stallion race (two-mile heats) and he won it in two 

 straight heats, beating a large field of the best stallions in the State. I 

 matched him against Warrior, who had shown his owner a half mile in i :o8, 

 for $5000 a side and $1000 forfeit, which the Warrior party paid when the 

 race was called. Primus trotted many races, and always with great speed 

 and endurance. In Michigan he was never in the stud. I sold him, in 1866, 

 to parties who took him to California, where he proved himself a worthy son 

 of an illustrious sire. He produced Magdallah 2 133^, (one of the fastest 

 horsesof the day, on the Pacific slope, second to Santa Claus in 2 122, 2 :2O, 

 2 :2i), Ewing 2 :2i^, and Tump Winston 2 124^. Primus, like his sire, was 

 possessed of a strong constitution, and lived to a ripe old age, notwithstand- 

 ing the severe trials of his youth".
