Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1912 — A Well Bred Mare. [ARTICLE]

A Well Bred Mare.

Hugh Gaffey of Walker tp., was in town Saturday driving his 3-year-odd trotting filley which is perhaps the best bred filley in Jasper county, being a grand-daughter of Axtel, the famous racer. She is a jthne tieall Wwown in color, weighs 1090 pounds and is acknowledged to be a fine type of race horse, Mr. Gaffey has never trained her, but in the hands of an experienced horseman she would, no doubt, make a good race record. t>he is too valuable a horse for him to keep, Mr. Gaffey says, and he desires to soil her to someone who will develop her speed qualities and put Walker township on the map for producing fast horses.
