Flatterer the Racehorse and his English lineage
An 1830s equine chronicle traces Flatterer a racehorse from New York to Virginia and Carolina, detailing long voyages, racing results, and a guardian breeder’s praise. It covers Cadmus Mingo and Sydney showings, Flatterer’s strong mile trials, injuries from a harsh Atlantic passage, and Corbin’s endorsement urging breeders to stock with his bloodline.
