. Frank Forester's horse and horsemanship of the United States and British provinces of North America [microform]. Horses; Race horses; Chevaux; Chevaux de course. 272 THE BASHAW, JUKIOE. Tins famous trotting stallion, one of the best, if not the best representative of the Bashaw strain, is a dark chestnut, 15| hands lugh, and weighs 1050 lbs. His form is symmetrical, neck and crest large, head well cut, fine throttle, and an eye sparkling with courage and ambition. His perfonnances up to the present time have been the best of any horse west of the Allegliany moun- tams at one and two miles, and there are but few horses in any locality that have beaten his best time. He trotted at Detroit Michigan, in ^; at Clinton, Iowa, in ; at Eock Island,' Illinois, on a half mile track, three heats, in : he defeated Silas Rich over a very slow track at Chicago, in ;, and has also made several broken heats in the Eastern States^low down in the twenties.* There is little doubt that when in training and in good con- dition he would now be a fit competitor for the fleetest trotters in the country. As a stallion he is in every respect unexception- able, having sired a number of winning horses, and several colts that promise in tune to rank with the flyers. A slight accident received some time since, while training, has temporarily unfitted him for the labors of the turf. This he has, however, ejitirely recovered from, and his owner is anxious to match him against any stallion in the country at one or two miles. So great is Mr. A. F. Fawsett's pride in this animal, that he pronounces hini I' the best trotting stallion in the United ; The following is his full pedigree: Bashaw Junior was foaled in 1860; he was got by Green's Bashaw; dam by Young Green, Mountain Morgan, son of Hale's Green Mountain; gd. a brown Morgan mare taken West by » Since writing tlio nbove, Baslmw, Jr., was entered in a trot at the Maryland State Pair Pomlico Fair Ground
