How By Hisseif Was Named A group of visitors was inspecting weanlings on Sam Riddles breeding farm. One of the foals remained alone in a corner of the paddock, and a member of the party asked, a Negro stable hand, "Who is that fine looking colt by?" The lad scratched his head, replied, "Guess that colt is mostly by hisseif." Then and there the colt got the name he bore as a fine performer and sire By Hisseif.
