The Story Behind the Name: Pocahontas Room
“The world record as the fastest horse in harness was held by the great pacing mare Pocahontas from 1855 to 1867 (record broken by Dexter). Born in 1846, she sold for $30 that year, $51 in 1850, and $135 in 1852 as a sturdy horse who pulled logs in a four-horse team. Her owner noticed she had unusual energy, and in 1853 she entered her first race in Cincinnati and won at 2:40.
By the time Dexter passed her, she was setting records below 2:20. She foaled the famous racer Tom Rolfe and even won races with foals. Bought by Robert Bonner for $40,000, she ultimately ran an unofficial race of 2:08 3/4 in retirement, many years before that time was met officially.
