Glenelg (foaled 1866) was a thoroughbred conceived in England but born in the United States after his dam was imported into the US in 1866.
He then won the Travers Stakes and finished his three-year-old season with one more victory, giving him three wins and two seconds in five starts.
[3] Despite Glenelg's slow start at racing, as a stallion he eventually ranked among the best in the country and dominated the West Coast.
He was initially given little attention when he stood for August Belmont, who directed most of his focus to the more highly valued of his stallions, Kentucky.
After Glenelg was sold again to Daniel Swigert, he hit his stride and became the first horse since Lexington to dominate the sire list in consecutive years.
