The first decade of the 20th century is known for horses such as Beldame, Colin and Sysonby. During these years, other sizes such as Boomstick, Sweep and Celt also saw on the race track and later in the breeding dandruff.
More than a century later, these horses conduct a list of sir, which contribute to the production of history, and their effects on sport last long after their days as racing horses.
Breomstick (1901-1931)
HP McGrath's McGrathiana -Stud had produced a pioneer in Kentucky Derby in Aristides, the winner of the first edition, and Colonel Milton Youthful built on this legacy when he bought the farm after McGrath's death. There he stood Hanover and produced Lady Sterling, mother of Sir Barton.
In 1900 Youthful bought a mare called James R. Keene for a scarce 250 US dollar.
She was covered by Ben Pinsel before selling, but she was sold under the impression that she was not in the foal. Imagine Youl's surprise when you foal foals from the Kentucky Derby winner from 1896. The colt was later sold to Captain Samuel Brown in a yearling, a great shareholder in Churchill Downs who also owned the Senorita stud, the same country, which is now known as a Kentucky Horse Park.
Despite his interests in Kentucky, Boomstick raced mainly in Novel York and won his first three missions at the age of 2, including The Great American on the engraves Race Track and the Juvenile Stakes in Morris Park. This excellent record meant that the little stallion foal in his later races had more weight, and it was less successful. At the age of 3 he was a versatile runner who won the five-furlong-flying handicap and then defeated a tiny field of only three others in the travers. He also set an American record for 1¼ miles in the Brighton Handicap and completed the ten Furlongs in 2:02 4/5. At the age of 4 he won no effort and had the misfortune this year in which sysonby was in each of her meetings.
The following year, Brown retired his son from Ben Pince to the student and stood at Senorita Stud. Broomstick stayed there until 1908 when the Senorita share was distributed after Brown's death from 1905. Harry Payne Whitney bought the stallion for $ 7,250 and sent him to his Brookdale Farm in Novel Jersey. In his quarter of a century in the stud, Breomstick Kentucky Derby winner and meridian and celebration of Handicapers Whisk Broom II and Cudgel regretted. He was also the broodmare father of horses such as Gallant Fox 'rivals, the excellent Whitney Champion Equipoise.
Sweep (1907-1931)
Sweep was a smaller horse like Broomstick, but according to Abram Hewitt's “Sire Lines” it was a longer one and became a powerful good trunk. As one of the last good horses that were bred by James R. Keenes Castleton -Stud, he was another Colt by Ben Pinsel, which started his father's legacy for another generation.
From the mare Pink Domino, a daughter of the tiny -lived but excellent father Domino, Sweep raced eight times at the age of 2 for Keene and won the vountant Futurity Stakes for six lengths. He also took the National Hengstein in Belmont Park and logged in second place in the Saratoga special and hope.
At the age of 3, his victory in Belmont Stakes was uncomplicated: the race had only another starter, Duke of Ormonde, and Sweep had no problems putting away this sole rival. He also showed his versatility this season and took the Carlton inserts on a mile and the 1-mile Lawrence realization. Keene withdrew his son of Ben Pince after his 3-year season in Castleton to Keene's death in 1913. At the Castleton Dispersal Sale, a group of Kentucky Horsemen, including John Smith Barbee, bought the stallion, which was stood in Billen Helen at Barbares Glen Helen Stud.
In his 20 years at Stud, Sweep headed the General Sire list twice in 1918 and 1925 and produced the Porter, which performed the Ben brush line; A winner of Kentucky Oaks in the disadvantage; And two breeding fans may have heard of brushes and Dustwhirl. These mares drove to a foal war -admiral or whirlaway and made the only stallion that becomes a breeding father for two triple crown winners.
Celt (1903-1919)
Like his father Domino, Commando was a massive race horse on the track and later became a dominant father who received 10 stakes winners from the scanty 27 foals, which he produced. Commando reflected his father in an early death after he had stepped onto a rock and then came with tetanus. Despite his early exit, Commando managed to give four stallions that appeared his line, including Celt and Colin.
Both colts drove to James R. Keene, whereby the unbeaten colin was dominant of the two. Celt only raced twice at the age of two because he won problems with noises, won the Junior Champion Stakes and took second place in the Flatbush Stakes. At the age of 3, he defeated both the fair play and other in the 1 ¼ miles in Brooklyn Handicap and set up a success balance of 2: 04⅕. After this race he spread a hoof and was not seen again on the race track at the age of 3 when he recovered. At the age of 4, he tried to repeat Brooklyn's handicap from 1909, could not duplicate his shape from the year before. After another hoof injury, Keene pulled back into the bolts and first sent him to Castleton in Kentucky.
Arthur B. Hancock rented Celt two seasons from Keene and stood him at Ellerlie in Virginia. After Keene's death in 1913, Hancock bought the stallion from the Castleton Dispersal Sale and paid 20,000 US dollars for this son of Commando. It was a random purchase for Hancock and Ellerlie: Although Celt died at 2 p.m. in 1919, he headed General Sire List in 1921 and led the Brutmare -Sire list in 1930. In his last harvest, which was filled in 1920, he recorded a Chestnut -Filly from the English Mare -Fairy -Ray. The second triple crown winner of Marguerite Fohlen Gallant Fox, who was sold to William Woodward, made this second violin into Colin a first-class breeding tare father.
Lates beyond time
Boomstick, Sweep and Celt won their share of the most crucial missions of America and were on the long list of best sports. These victories gave them a thrust when they went to the stud, but it was the horses that they produced, all three connected with the story, from the first foal, which won the Kentucky Derby, up to three triple crown. Their names may be less familiar to state-of-the-art fans, but we celebrate their effects during the classic season every year.
