The New York Times/Sketch of Ten Broeck (1876)
“ The achievement of Ten Broeck yesterday in running four miles in 7:15 3⁄4 will create a sensation throughout the turf world, and that the colt was capable of such a performance shows a combination of speed and staying power that must be most satisfactory to our breeders. It is but an additional proof that the thoroughbred is not deteriorating in stamina, as your "old-time" turf men assert, because four-mile heats are not found on the racing programmes. ”
