Apollo is a chestnut gelding, bred by D. Swigert, Preakness Stud,
Lexington, Ky. He stands 15 hands half an inch high, and the only white is
on the left hind pastern. He has a rather heavy, plain head, wide jowls,
good stout neck, which fills up his shoulders well, mounts high on the
withers, deep chest, good length, arched loin, long quarters and hips,
with excellent, clean and bony legs. Apollo is by Imp. Ashstead or Lever
(no doubt by the latter), out of Rebecca T. Price by The Colonel, her dam
by Imp. Margrave, out of Rosalie Summers by Sir Charles, her dam Mischief
by Virginian, out of a mare by Imp. Bedford, &c.
