Voter (foaled 1894) was a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in England that competed in the United States where his racing success led to his selection as the American Champion Older Male Horse of 1899. When his racing career was over, Voter became an influential sire.
Voter was bred in England by American Foxhall Keene, the son of the very prominent American businessman and major owner and breeder of Thoroughbred horses, James R. Keene. Voter was brought to the United States as a yearling.
On July 17, 1900, at Brighton Beach Race Course on Coney Island, New York, Voter set a new World Record of 1:38.00 for a mile on dirt.
Among his important stakes wins, Voter was a three-time winner of the Coney Island Handicap with his most important victory coming in the 1897 Metropolitan Handicap.
When his racing career was over, Voter stood at his owner's Castleton Stud near Lexington, Kentucky. Some of his important offspring include:
Voter is inbred 4S x 5D x 5D to the stallion Stockwell, meaning that he appears fourth generation once on the sire side of his pedigree, and fifth generation twice (via Belladrum and The Princess Of Wales) on the dam side of his pedigree.
Voter is inbred 4S x 5S to the stallion Touchstone, meaning that he appears fourth generation and fifth generation (via Orlando) on the sire side of his pedigree.
Voter is inbred 4D x 5D to the mare Birdcatcher mare, meaning that she appears fourth generation and fifth generation (via Bon Acord) on the dam side of his pedigree.
