The
daughters of Pilot Jr. are credited with fourty performers in the 2:30
list. These performers came from nineteen different, more or less known,
mares. Many of them carried a lot of Thoroughbred blood and many of them
were gray. Maybe it was an inherit from their sire.
These nineteen
mares were also more or less notable but among those that was truly
outstanding you find names like Miss Russell, Waterwitch, Midnight,
Kathleen, Dahlia and Tackey. Midnight and Kathleen are well known
foundation mares but some less noted mares may have maternal lines that
are still active today. Sally Russell was a mare by Thoroughbred Boston that was bred to
Pilot Jr. and in 1865 she produced the gray filly Miss Russell. Miss
Russell became an absolutely great broodmare with seven foals in the
2:30 list. She was a mare of unusual fertility since she got seventeen
foals. But Miss Russell was but one of the very notable mares at A.J.
Alexander's Woodburn Farm in Kentucky. She died at the age of
thirty-two. Another gray Pilot Jr.-mare was Midnight. She was out of Twilight, a
Thoroughbred daughter of Lexington, son of Boston. Midnight got three
foals in the 2:30 list and one of them was also world record holder. The
gelding Jay-Eye-See was the first ever to trot in 2:10 but that record
was beaten the next day by the Miss Russell-daughter Maud S. Jay-Eye-See
also took a pacing record of 2:06 1/4. (Read more about Midnight here) Waterwitch was a bay mare by Pilot Jr. and foaled in 1859. She was
out of Fanny Fern, by Kinkead's St. Lawrence and second dam was Brenda,
a Thoroughbred. Just like Miss Russell, Waterwitch was a very fertile
mare and she produced nineteen foals that lived. Six of these foals took
records of 2:30 or better. However, it was mostly her foals with no
records that carried on the genes by producing standard performers. Kathleen is the second mare that ranks as a foundation mare. She was
also by a Thoroughbred mare called Little Miss, by Sovereign. Although
she only produced one performer in the standard list her two other
daughters manage to make this a great maternal line. Of course, Ethelwyn
had more to do with the fact that this mare became famous than the other
daughter Katrina. (Read more about Kathleen here) Another daughter of Pilot Jr. was Juliet. She was out of a
Webster-mare, Thoroughbred son of Medoc. Juliet produced a bay foal by
Mambrino Chief 11 in 1859 that was named Mambrino Pilot 29. He took a
record of 2:27 1/2 under saddle in 1866 and can still be found in a lot
of pedigrees of trotters today. Juliet is also known as the great
grandam of Bellini 2:13 1/4. Jenny Lind, by Bellfounder, was another important mare since she was
sent to Woodburn Farm in Kentucky to be bred to Pilot Jr. She got three
foals by him, Dixie (f.1858), Tackey (f.1859) and one that died young.
Tackey and Dixie were sold to Charles McHatton of St. Louis. He had them
broken but a couple of years later, he sold them to Robert and Bent
Carr. They had the mares trained and Dixie took a record or 2:30, while
Tackey became the fastest daughter of Pilot Jr. with a record of 2:26.
And Tackey was a great race mare, said to have had the courage of a
bulldog. No race was too long for her. But when she was fourteen years
old she was sold East and her name was changed to Polly. Tackey, or
Polly, was first bred in 1874 and she produced six foals during the
years 1875 to 1881. All of them were bred by Alexander Davidson of
Williamsport, Pa. and three of them is to be found in the 2:30 list. The line from Dahlia seemed to have great potential. She was also
bred by R.A. Alexander in Kentucky and she produced three standard
performers. Her maternal line seemed to grow very fast with at least
five daughters that carried on producing foals that ended up in the 2:30
list. Although not much have been heard of the line today it is still
living and in 1990 it produced the Swedish star trotter Zoogin. Other mares, not as well known, are Crop, Santa Maria and Molly
Trussell. Crop is credited with three standard performers and her
daughter Gauntlette produced four foals that made it to the list of her
own. Santa Maria seemed to have a good maternal line in a daughter named
Josie Railey and the Molly Trussell-line seemed strong in the 1920th and
could still be alive today.
Dixie was never bred regularly but in 1877, at nineteen years old, she
gave birth to a filly, Dixie Sprague, by Governor Sprague. Dixie Sprague
became a member of the 2:30 list, just like her dam, and she was also a
great broodmare. Dixie ended her days in 1878 at the age of twenty.
