Foaled 1868, Orange County, NY. Bred by Stony Ford Farm, Goshen, NY. Stood at Palo Alto Farm, Palo Alto, CA. Another great sire of the high wheel era, Electioneer was by Hambletonian and Green Mountain Maid. He was bred at the famous Stony Ford Farm, Campbell Hall, NY by Charles Backman in 1868. Though Electioneer never raced and never acquired a record, those who knew speed said he could have beaten 2:20 if trained. He was purchased by Leland Stanford for $12,500 in 1877 and headed the Palo Alto Farm in California, which later became the site of Stanford University. As a sire of trotters he begot more 2:20 horses and more record breakers than any horse of his time. He was sire of both world champion Sunol, 2:08¼ and Palo Alto, 2:08¾, Hinda Rose 2:36 1/2, Bell Bird 2:26 1/4. He died in California in 1890.
Sired 162 trotters under 2:30.
