The Mount Airy Stud Farm of Virginia
From the site:
The estate built by John Tayloe II, in 1747, and later maintained by his son, John Tayloe III, was among the outstanding stud farms of colonial Virginia. The Tayloes owned and raced such important horses as Childers, who was imported in 1751 and proved to be a sire of great mares. Childers returned to racing after six seasons at stud. At the ripe old age of 13, he carried 180 pounds, and finished a five-mile race in 12 minutes 27 seconds to win 500 pounds. Another Mount Airy horse was Leviathan, who was the first champion gelding in American turf history, winning 23 consecutive races. In 1802, he conceded 70 pounds to an opponent, yet won a five-mile "dash." The younger Tayloe bred his imported mare, Castrinira, to the great Diomed, and the resulting foal was Sir Archie, one of the greatest sires in American Thoroughbred history. The eminence of Mount Airy is evidenced by the fact that between 1791 and 1806, the farm's 141 entries won 113 races - a fantastic record.

But Tayloe put a number of his mares to Diomed, and he liked the results. Diomed sired some of the most famous horses in American turf history. Among them were Haynie's Maria, who beat every horse until she lost one race as a nine-year-old. Andrew Jackson declared that Haynie's Maria "can beat any thing in God's whole creation."... Diomed also sired the undefeated Ball's Florizel, Potomac, Duroc, and greatest of all, Sir Archie, who became a singularly important influence in American Thoroughbred history. He sired the line which extended to Timolean, Boston, and Lexington. When Diomed died at the age of 31, one historian reports, "...there was as much mourning over his demise as there was at the death of George Washington."
