Tom Smith is a colt with plenty of bone and sub-stance, level headed and one of the stoutest bred trot-ters in the books. His dam is the great broodmareDaisy S. by McDonald Chief 3583, the dam of two inthe list: the second dam is Fanny Rose (also a greatbroodmare, dam of Columbus S. 2:17 and GeorgeWashington 2:16|) by Ethan Allen Jr. 2993, and thethird dam is Jennie Lind, dam of Prince Allen 2:27. Tom Smith is a square trotter and fast, but had tomeet The Roman and Eula Mac last year and failed toget a record. He was not taught to get away fast andat the half in all of his five starts he was behind, buthe trotted the last half so fast that he would be wellup at the wire. The picture is from a snap shot takenat him at Vallejo in July last.
