Smuggler, the champion trotting stallion of the Milton stud, is shown alone at his trot. Currier & Ives printed champion sires like Smuggler as much for the breeding trade as for racing fans — a stallion's sheet sold his bloodline to broodmare owners as much as it celebrated his speed. the deliberate profile pose, built to show conformation as clearly as gait. A stallion's real race is the one run in his foals.
