	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		Aristides strongly defended the Athenian aristocratic cause and opposed Themistocles' naval policy until he was ostracized by his political enemies led by Themistocles.
		Aristides' annual 460 talent assessment was universally accepted as equitable, and continued as the basis of taxation for the greater part of the leagueâs duration.
		Aristides' estate seems to have suffered severely from the Persian invasions, for apparently he did not leave enough money to defray the expenses of his burial, and it is known that his descendants even in the 4th century received state pensions.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Aristides (horse)
		Aristides (named for his breeder's good friend and fellow horse breeder, the Pennsylvanian Aristides Welch who had imported Leamington into the US) was foaled late in the season, and was small, never standing taller than about 15 hands.
		Both Aristides and Chesapeake were born and bred on the McGrathiana Farm in Fayette County, Kentucky, a short canter from Lexington.
		Aristides, again ridden by Oliver Lewis, came in second in the Belmont Stakes, the race that today is the third race in the triple crown of American thoroughbred horse racing.

	Aristides - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Aristides (530 BC - 468 BC) was an Athenian statesman, nicknamed "the Just".
		He was the son of Lysimachus, and a member of a family of moderate fortune.
		"No," was the reply, "and I do not even know him, but it irritates me to hear him everywhere called the just." Early in 480 Aristides profited by the decree recalling exiles to help in the defence of Athens against Persian invaders, and was elected strategos for the year 480-479.

		As commander of the Athenian fleet he established the alliance of Ionian states known as the Delian League.
		They, at least in the case of Aristides, contented themselves with banishing him.
		But if Aristides the Just was ever in love and jealous, he was at that moment not perfectly magnanimous.

		As aristide said, there is a cost/ benefit factor, in Mexico the costs far would exceed the benefit.
		Ash, we lose a few cities, and this overly-sensitive racehorse of a world economy will put many millions of your countrymen trying to find a little patch of soil to grow potatoes for the kids to eat.

	Leamington
		He was moved to New Jersey in 1868, and in 1871 he was at John Hunter's Annieswood Farm, Westchester County, New York, by now his youngsters beginning to show their superiority on the turf.
		The Westchester foals of 1872 included Rhadamanthus, Olitipa, James A., Hyder Ali, and a red colt named Aristides, winner of the inaugural running of a minor Midwestern event known as the Kentucky Derby.
		This leading sire title was a particularly important milestone since it marked the first time in 16 years that the great stallion Lexington had not topped top the American sires' list.

	X Factor
		First of all, he may have had the x-factor; just because he couldn't inherit it from his known carrier sire doesn't mean he didn't have it, since his dam could have been a carrier.
		When her daughter Betty Leedes was crossed with the Darley Arabian, his speed producing characteristics and the mysterious x-factor gene may have met for the first time.
		Whether the x-factor was involved or not the cross produced England's first great racehorse, the undefeated and legendary "Mile a Minute Childers." If the x-factor was involved, this would make Easby Snake a carrier; I see no evidence of this.

		He was from the first American crop of the imported English stallion Leamington, as was champion Longfellow.
		Aristides, the first winner of the Kentucky Derby, was another example of this Leamington - Lexington daughter cross, as were such standout runners as Parole, Susquehanna, Saunterer, and Onandaga.

		As far as a feel-good story, how about Pomeroy, who was sold a year ago as a stallion prospect after suffering an ankle chip in the 2005 Vosburgh, in which he finished a distant eighth.
		The buyer, David Hutson's Silverleaf Farms, along with trainer Marty Wolfson, decided to have the chip removed to see if Pomeroy could remain a racehorse rather than a stud for a year.
		In this year's version of the same race, however, he finished a non-threatening second to a compromised Lost in the Fog.

		Bushfire does not possess one of the more flashy pedigrees that you'll see when discussing Derby and Oaks horses, but both her sire (Louis Quatorze) and dam (Traki Traki) were very nice racehorses in their own right and that quality has been passed down to her.
		A top shelf racehorse over a route of ground, Louis Quatorze also won the prestigious Jim Dandy (GII) at three and earned solid placings in elite races such as the Blue Grass Stakes (GII), Travers (GI), and Breeders' Cup Classic (GI).
