The article decribed Standford Palo Alto estate and his breeding operation. The reporter writes that Stanford's stock stable foreman, H. R.

The article was not specific whether SG was in that last purchase, but the modus operandi was made apparent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354333762076619269.post-34695871194533694842010-03-27T18:28:06.494-04:002010-03-27T18:28:06.494-04:00Sallie Gardner ran 4 more times in 1876.
