Most Quarter Horse breeders and breed experts believe that in the production of great Quarter Horses one should never underestimate the importance of the dam. They are convinced that, in the long run,the distaff side of the pedigree is the one to watch. They agree that one reason for the eminence of the Quarter Horse in racing, show, arena, and breed competition is the quality of the dams who helped found the breed and give it the unique conformation and blazing speed on the short track.This book, filled with treasured anecdotes and track legends, will join its companion volume on the sires as an indispensable source for Quarter Horse breeders, owners, and racetrack and rodeo enthusiats, as well as for historians of the horse and its role in the Americas.

This book is dedicated to
The female offspring of the immortal *Janus

... darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the spirit of God moved upon the waters.
And God said, Let there be light:
And there was light.

Short racing was never to be the same again.
Now it took sheer blinding speed.
In truth, after *Janus his descendants had to race each other.
They had no peers.
