Purchased by Swigert for $1k at 1877 Woodburn yearling sale; sold to Keene for $15k after 1878. USA Champion 2yo male 1878 & 3yo male, 1879. Lost to Falsetto 2x they met but may have been affected by sore feet. "Pulled" in Withers at order of owner so stablemate DAN SPARLING could win. Good mudder (a trait still seen in the Man o' War line) but did not handle extremely fast tracks well, presumably because they stung his feet. Leading Sire in the USA, 1902 & 1908. Died in 1900.
