198 THE TWO-MINUTE PACERS 



The racing career of this good Canadian mare was one 

 that would be a credit to any pacer. Her opponents were 

 always the best in her class along the Grand Circuit and 

 included the celebreties most of the time as is shown by those 

 mentioned above that were beaten by her in the race which 

 gave her a two-minute record. There never was any question 

 as to her courage and when she became a good acting per- 

 former she could be relied upon to go to the limit of her 

 speed and endurance whenever called upon. 



She is the fastest performer descending in the direct 

 line from Wilkes Boy, her sire being a grandson of that 

 noted progenitor. It might be noted in this connection that 

 the world's champion trotter gets the same blood through the 

 sire of his dam who is a son of Grattan (son of Wilkes Boy) 

 as is the sire of Louie Grattan. 



Louie Grattan was a foal of 1913 and was a bay mare 

 by Grattan Royal — Camilla by J. L Case and was bred by 

 Mr. W. H. Taylor, Park Hill, Ont., Canada.
