THE GREAT EXPANSION OP THE '80 's 247 



Introuvable 16875: 19 stallions sold for $18,000, 

 an average of $947; 7 mares sold for $2,700, an aver- 

 age of $385; 26 head sold for $20,700, an average 

 of $796. 



Villers 13169: 9 stallions sold for $9,400, an aver- 

 age of $1,044; 5 mares sold for $1,925, an average of 

 $385; 14 head sold for $11,325, an average of $808. 



Eemembering that a large proportion of these ani- 

 mals were sold during the '90 's, when values were 

 greatly depressed, and that by far the greater pro- 

 portion were sold as one-, two- and three-year-olds 

 it will be realized at once that Mr. Dunham's Amer- 

 ican-bred colts were highly valued by breeders. Of 

 the 64 stallions by Brilliant 4 were sold as weanlings, 

 23 as yearlings, 18 as two-year-olds, 8 as three-year- 

 olds, and only 11 as four-year-olds or over. Of the 

 44 mares listed 5 went as weanlings, 16 as yearlings, 

 15 as two-year-olds, 1 as a three-year-old and 7 at 

 greater ages. 



Great Mares of Oaklawn Stud, — It is difficult to 

 particularize as to the mares used in the Oaklawn 

 stud at this time. Among these of unusual excel- 

 lence we may name Janecia 2768 (1368). Her colt 

 foaled in 1886, Brahnock 5688, was sold for $1,200 

 as a two-year-old, and her next colt, Belidor 9520, 

 foaled in 1888, brought $2,500 as a yearling. Both 

 were by Brilliant 1271. She was a fairly regular 

 breeder, producing 7 colts in 10 years, all but one 

 of which were stallions. Individual prices on the 

 others could not be ascertained, but her colts wero 

 all of extra good character. Constance 1478 (1425) ,
