Col. Baylor imported Fearnought, the most important thoroughbred in pre-
Revolutionary America, in 1764.  Big Brown, the Triple Crown contender who 
will race at Belmont this Saturday, is descended from Fearnought an 
astonishing 5,734 times.  Here is a link to an article I wrote about this 
appearing in today's (June 4) Fauquier Times-Democrat:

virginia-legacy/ 

I have a longer, feature-length version of the piece and will send it on request.

Thanks.
