Death of Direct a Severe Blow to Harness World
The death of the pacing stallion Direct 2 00 was a severe blow to the harness horse world. Direct, bred by Monroe Salisbury at Pleasanton in 1385, raced in youth and after switching to pace, moved east in 1891 winning 10 of 11 starts and cutting pacer records. His progeny included world record holders and noted performers, with winnings over 20000 and 61 standard performers to his credit, among them Directly and Directum Kelly.
