American Stud BookThe American Stud Book is the stud book for the Thoroughbred horse in the United States. It was founded by Sanders Bruce, with assistance from his brother B. G. Bruce.[1] In 1896, The Jockey Club bought out Bruce and assumed publication of the book, which it has continued to the present.[2] Additional recommended knowledgeIt was first published, as volume one, in 1868, covering the first part of the alphabet from A to K. In 1873, a revised volume one and a second volume were published, with the new volume one covering A through L.[3] Bruce continued publishing the volumes, but a fire in his offices right before volume five was published put him in financial difficulty, and he then entered into a legal fight with The Jockey Club over the right to publish the American Stud Book, which was finally settled in 1896 when The Jockey Club bought the American Stud Book from Bruce for $35,000.[4] NotesReferences
