FYI: Haynie's Maria
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 4:55 pm
While recently building my famous-horse database, I gathered some additional information about Haynie's Maria, Andrew Jackson's scourge. Her histories are based upon one memoir that was was regurgitated often. It contained the information that she was sold by Haynie to Pollard Brown, and resulted in losing her last race at Charleston in 1817 (see second page of link).

In actuality, Maria lost two races that spring at Charleston, one on Feb 26th and the last on Mar. 1st. The horses to whom she lost were champions in their own right.

I have revised her pedigreequery entry with the correct information.
