The Anvil is regarded by Edward F. Geers as one of the very greatest trot- ters that he has ever raced. For five years the pair of Tennesseeans went to the races together and in that time were but twice unplaced, while winning a total of fifteen races, including the historic M. and M. As an individual he is most pleasing, not too large or coarse in any way but smoothly and compactly made and "all horse" in every line. He is a perfect headed, pure gaited trotter, with the very best of disposition, and is destined to become a very great sire of trotting speed. His opportunities in the stud have been very slight as he has been retired from racing only since the close of 1914, and has but three or four foals now three years old. He was selected to head the stud at Pleasanton Driving Park not only on account of his great qualities as a race trotter, but because one of his first foals, Anvilite (2) 2:22*4, with a trial of ten seconds or more faster, is in every way the greatest colt trotter ever handled by C. L. DeRyder. The services of The Anvil are recom- mended to you without reserve.
