Famous Thoroughbred sires of winning stock. Each year a 

 record is made of the sire of Thoroughbreds winning the most 

 races. The table on the opposite page shows the American 

 records from 1870 to date. 



Lexington proved to be a wonderful horse. In twenty-one 

 seasons he sired 600 horses of which 236 were winners of races. 

 During fifteen years they won a total of $1,159,321. The 

 influence of Lexington was very far-reaching, and he may be 

 regarded as one of the very greatest of American Thorough- 

 breds. 



The two imported horses, Leamington and Bonnie Scotland, 

 left a strong impress on running-horse blood. The former was 

 used in the stud in England, and in 1865 was purchased for 

 $7500, by Mr. Cameron and brought to America. A daughter 

 of his in Ireland, Miss Theo, proved to be a great brood mare. 

 Parole, a son, became a famous racer. 



The American-bred horse, Hanover, by Hindoo, was one of 

 the more celebrated Thoroughbreds in recent American history. 

 Foaled in 1884, he early showed great speed and became a turf 

 favorite. As a sire he attained the first rank. 



A Thoroughbred studbook, known as the General Studbook 

 of Great Britain is published in England. In America TJie 

 American Studbook for ThorougJibrcds is maintained by the 

 American Jockey Club, with headquarters in New York.
