Jacobus (foaled 1880 in New York state) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1883 Preakness Stakes.[1][2]
Background
[edit]Bred by August Belmont at his Nursery Stud in Babylon, New York, Jacobus was sold to James E. Kelley along with other unraced colts for $10,000.[3]
Racing career
[edit]Raced at age two, Jacobus won the Surf Stakes at Sheepshead Bay Race Track. He ran third in the Juvenile Stakes at Jerome Park and third again in both the Hopeful Stakes and August Stakes at Monmouth Park.[4]
As a three-year-old, Jacobus' ran third behind winner Barnes in the mile and one-half Coney Island Derby at Sheepshead Bay. The biggest win of his career came in what would become the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series, the 1883 Preakness Stakes. In a two-horse matchup run over a mile and one-half at Pimlico Race Course, jockey George Barbee earned his third Preakness win by guiding Jacobus to a four length win over his only competitor, Parnell.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
