REMARKS ON THE PEDIGREES OF HORSES. 
By Wm. Goodwin, M.R.C.S., Veterinary Surgeon to the Queen. 
[Continued from page 139]. 
Many years ago, I was struck with the originality of some 
genealogical tables that were designed by a Mr. Lounin, a 
Russian, which have since been published in the Russian Stud 
Book. Mr. Lounin, who is since dead, was not far wrong in 
taking the following horses as the three sources from which all 
our best animals have sprung. The plan adopted was to trace 
the paternal side, and enumerate only such horses as were 
grandsires of winners; by which means we have a collection 
from which, you will perceive, it is easy to derive the pedigrees 
of all our horses of the present day*.

Having thus far traced the pedigrees down to horses of no 
distant period, it is easy to derive the blood of almost every 
horse of note from one of these sources : let us, for example, take 
four stallions of the greatest celebrity of the present day, as 
* We have deemed it necessary to reprint this paragraph of Mr. Goodwin’s 
paper for two reasons : — first, that the present article may run on intelligibly ; and, 
secondly, because some of the names of the horses in the former list were in- 
correctly given. — Ed. Vf.t.
