Iroquois - by Imp. Leamington, dam Maggie B.B. by Australian
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the late 19th century world of horse racing. The image showcases an elegant and powerful stallion named Iroquois, proudly standing in a stable or paddock, with his dam, Maggie B.B. by Australian, looking on from the background. Bred in Australia, Iroquois was sired by the renowned English Thoroughbred stallion, Leamington, who was imported to the land down under in the 1870s. Leamington was a prolific sire, producing numerous successful racehorses, and Iroquois was no exception. Maggie B.B. by Australian, the dam of Iroquois, was also an accomplished racehorse in her own right. Her name suggests that she was a daughter of the influential Australian stallion, Australian, making Iroquois a grandson of two legendary Thoroughbreds. The photograph captures the essence of the sport of kings, with Iroquois's muscular build, strong legs, and piercing gaze, all indicative of his racing prowess. His dam, Maggie B.B. by Australian, stands behind him, her head turned towards her offspring, a testament to her maternal pride and the strong bond between mother and foal. The year is estimated to be around 1882, making this photograph a rare and valuable record of the rich history of horse racing in both Australia and America, where Iroquois's bloodlines would have a significant impact on the sport. The image is a stunning reminder of the beauty, power, and legacy of these magnificent animals and the enduring allure of the turf.
