From the Harness Racing Museum:
Named for the white marking on his forehead, Single G. was foaled in 1910, sired by Anderson Wilkes out of Little Gyp. He was bred by W. B. Barefoot, Cambridge City, Indiana and L. D. Commons, Converse, Indiana. In 1912 Single G. was sent to the sales and purchased at auction for $275 by H. S. Beard. After Beard's death, Barefoot became his sole owner. From the ages of three until sixteen, the wonder horse started in 434 heats and won 262, earning $121,125. He won 98 races, setting an all-time record. On September 26, 1923, Single G. established a world record for four heats over a half-mile track when he won a match race at Bangor, Maine over Margaret Dillon 1:58 1/4 and Sir Roch 1:59 3/4.
