| YANKEE (1899) was closely related to Hamburg, being out of Domino\'s sister and Lady Reel\'s half-sister, the champion filly Correction. His best win was the Belmont Futurity; a big, top-heavy colt, he broke down early. He also failed to produce a good sire son, although son Joe Madden was a Belmont Stakes winner. His daughters were, however, good producers, including Continental, who produced the highly in-bred Infinite, who won the Nursery Handicap; Lover\'s Lane, bred in France, seen tail-female in the pedigree of Bates Motel and Our Emblem, among others; Yankee Sister, dam of the top racehorse Jack High (Metropolitan Handicap, Laurel Stakes and others); and Savannah, third dam of Sun Teddy and ancestress of a number of other good stakes winners. His best was probably The Nurse, who produced the excellent racing sisters Edith Cavell and Florence Nightingale (Family 23).
