The History of Thoroughbred Racing in America" by William H.P.She died in 1927 at the age of twenty five. Her few foals were winners but not stakes winners. Her last win was a quarter of a mile race.Īs a broodmare, Artful did not reproduce herself. She defeated, Beldame as well as Delhi, the 1904 winner of the Belmont Stakes. In her three-year-old season, Artful won two sprints to prepare for the Brighton Handicap which she took "pulling up," (slowing down). William Whitney died in Artful's two-year-old season and his son, Harry Payne Whitney, succeeded him. That record stood for fifty years, only broken on a straight course and under a much lighter burden of 115 pounds. She then took the White Plains Handicap under 130 pounds, giving away 29 pounds to a colt named Dandelion, and setting a new track record of 1:08 for six furlongs. Artful raced four days later in the winning the Great Filly Stakes. Artful's victory was also over a field of exceptional strength (and said at the time to be the finest juvenile field ever assembled): the Canadian champion Oiseau, the fillies and future classic winners Tanya and Agile, and the unbeaten filly Tradition. In her third "undeclared" race, the Futurity Stakes, Artful handed Sysonby his only defeat by five lengths. These two "declared" races would be the only races Artful ever lost. On both occasions it was written that she was: "…hard held and close up throughout, finished as easily and probably could have won the race." Her second race was won by Princess Rupert. Frank Brunnell of The Daily Racing Form hailed her as "a genuine crackerjack" who should have won both races with ease. In order to achieve this result, Artful had to be held back. In the first of these races in August 1904 that horse was her stablemate Dreamer. In both of Artful's first two starts at age two at Saratoga Race Course (a track that William Collins Whitney had a hand in rejuvenating), her stablemate was declared to win against her. This meant that if a stable entered more than one of its horses, it would announce beforehand which horse they expected to win the event.
