This mare was im ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2min 18Jsecs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—"lf ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty.
