He has left a large number of descendants that had extreme speed, 
but he is best remembered to-day in Morgan pedigrees as the sire of 
Daniel Lambert 62 and as the sire of the dam of Ethan Allen 2d 406. 
Daniel Lambert 62, probably the greatest progenitor of speed in 
the Morgan breed, was foaled in 1858 and died in 1889 at Wey- 
bridge, Vt., on what is now the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm. Accord- 
ing to Col. Joseph Battell, who owned Daniel Lambert at the time 
of his death: 
His race record was 2.42, made when 3 years old, his only season on the turf, 
and was at that time the stallion record for that age. He has to his credit 38 
trotters and 1 pacer in the 2.30 list and is the sire of 36 sires of 122 trotters and 
30 pacers, and is also the sire of dams of 107 performers, including some of the 
fastest, in the same list, to the close of the season of 1904.

Horse Farm 
Daniel Lambert was thus described by S. W. Parlin, Esq., of 
Boston: 
No horse could be found that excelled him in beauty of form, ease and elas- 
ticity of action, elegance of style, and grandeur of pose, whether at rest or in 
motion. Few horses have ever lived that possessed greater power of stamping 
their offspring with the above characteristics and imparting the ability to per- 
petuate them through succeeding generations. 
Denning Allen 74 was bred by Major Luxton, of Lexington, Ky., 
but was foaled the property of J. B. Bowman, of Lexington, and 
purchased by Colonel Battell, of Middlebury, Vt., on April 1, 1893. 
Mr. Bowman stated in his sale catalogue of 1878: 
His dam, Rena, is a premium animal and has trotted inside of 3 minutes 
Denning Allen is a horse of great promise, can trot in 2.45 without any special 
training, and has sired many splendid colts. 
Denning Allen was awarded first premium for Morgan stallions 
5 years old and over, and sweepstakes for Morgan stallions of any age,
