This is up on eBay right now, a photo of what might be a remount stallion--seems to carry the correct brands.

Thought Pat and a few others might be interested.

Drawstraws b. 1936 Clock Tower - Corn Silk

Gordon Russell Br. 1910 *Marchmont II - Tokalon

Both remount stallions. I think Gordon Russell or his son Gordon Wells stood on the SMS ranch.

Here's a link to info on Gordon Russell from the TB database. He was apparently an excellent jumper/eventer sire: http://www.pedigreequery.com/gordon+russell

Here's another set of remount stallions. George Smith was a Kentucky Derby winner.

George Smith, retired from racing at age five, stood at stud at Sanford's Hurricana Stud farm near Amsterdam, New York where he proved a disappointing sire, producing few notable offspring.

On August 5, 1926, Sanford donated George Smith and another stallion called Nassovian to the Breeding Bureau of the The Jockey Club. By the following year, George Smith was in the possession of the United States Army cavalry remount service, where he sired military horses for his remaining years.

Sir Barton, the first Triple Crown winner, ended up a Remount stallion.

I think the third Triple Crown winner, Omaha, might have been a Remount stallion as well.
