Blood begins to tell on American horse breeding pride
John K. Bradford of the Jockey Club at the Jamaica track extols American thoroughbreds and trotters. He cites Iroquois, Parole, Foxhall and other champions, notes foreign sales of American stock, and highlights Crescens and Rhodora as exemplars of U S breeding strength. He predicts IMS as a banner year for American blood abroad with English races showcasing American-bred feats. Rhodora, by St Frusquin, dammed by Rheda B of Kentucky, is praised as a future great brood mare and Orby’s dam.
