Bullfield Stud was owned by Major Thomas Doswell (1823 — 1890), and it was a premiere Thoroughbred breeding farm in the years preceding the Civil War. Algerine is described as a blood bay with black points and no white markings that stood 15.3 hands tall. Abd-el-Kader, Algerine's sire, (foaled in 1865) was a son of the imported British stallion Australian out of the Bethune mare, Rescue. Australian also notably sired Spendthrift and Springbok. Adb-el-Kader was a successful long-distance racer, notably winning a four mile race at Saratoga in a time of 7:31 3/4.〔 An injury to his hips as a two-year-old resulted in his having poor hip conformation.〔 As a sire, Algerine is his most notable offspring. Abd-el-Kader died at Bullfield Stud on December 4, 1885 at the age of 20-years. Algerine's dam, Nina, (foaled in 1848) was sired by Boston out of the imported British mare Frolicsome Fanny. Nina won 23 races in 27 starts and was more successful in long-distance races between two and four miles long. Nina raced until she was four years old and produced Planet in her first season as a broodmare at Doswell's Bullfield Stud. She also produced the good runner Exchequer in 1856. Nina was 25 years old when she foaled Algerine, and her last foal was his full-sister Algeria (foaled 1875). Nina died at the age of 31 years on September 19, 1879, and she was the last surviving offspring of Boston. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Algerine (horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
