Stamina (1905–1930) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that was the historical top 2-year-old and 3-year-old filly in the United States in 1907 and 1908, respectively. Through the 1907 racing season, she was trained by future Hall of Fame inductee, John W. Rogers. On the death of Rogers in early 1908, another future Hall of Fame inductee, Jack Joyner, took over.

Pedigree[edit]

Stamina was foaled in 1905 and was sired by the 1901 champion 2-year-old colt, Nasturtium, out of the 1901 co-champion 2-year-old mare, Endurance by Right. Nasturtium was sired by Watercress out of the mare Margerique. Margerique was sired by the imported British stallion Order out of the Algerine-bred mare Margerine. Endurance by Right was sired by the 1886 Belmont and Travers Stakes winner Inspector B. out of the mare Early Morn. She was never beaten in a race by females and her only major stakes loss was to Nasturtium in the Flatbush Stakes in 1901. Both of Stamina's parents did not race successfully as 3-year-olds due to illness.
