EDITORS COMMENTS
Longfellow: An American Thoroughbred Legend of the 1890s Longfellow, an American Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, is depicted in this photograph from the late 1890s. Born in 1867, Longfellow was a product of the renowned breeding program at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. His sleek, powerful build and distinctive black coat made him a standout among his contemporaries. Longfellow's racing career was marked by impressive victories and record-breaking performances on the racetrack. Trained with dedication and care, he was a favorite among jockeys, handlers, and stablehands alike. The image captures the moment of relaxation and camaraderie between Longfellow and his handler, as they share a quiet moment in the stable. Longfellow's impact on the Thoroughbred industry extended far beyond his racing career. As a sire, he passed on his exceptional athleticism and racing prowess to his offspring, making him a highly sought-after stud. His legacy lives on in the many successful racehorses that carry his bloodline. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Thoroughbred racing in America during the late 1800s. It is a testament to the dedication, passion, and tradition that continues to define the sport today. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the connection between horse and human was a sacred bond, and the thrill of the race was matched only by the joy of their shared journey.
