Originally the "standard" referred to a 2:30 minute mark under
which a horse had to trot or pace one mile. Thoroughbred, Morgan, and
Narragansett Pacer blood were combined to achieve the Standardbred. Messenger, a
grey Thoroughbred imported in 1788 from England, was the Standardbred's
foundation sire. Today's Standarbred has to meet a qualifying time standard to
be able to race. |
