Axworthy (horse)

A descendant of Hambletonian 10, he is considered one of the most important sires in the development of the modern Standardbred breed.

[1] Axworthy created a bloodline in the making of the American Standardbred through the Hambletonian 10 offspring George Wilkes.

[2] Axworthy was bred by A B Darling, New York at the stud at Terre Haute, Indiana at the stock farm of W P Ijams.

He was developed first by Budd Doble at Terra Haute and when three-years-old by John Young, Kentucky.

Axworthy was a tall studhorse of impressive conformation, with a grand slashing stroke.
