I've sent Steve a PM, and I expect he'll answer as soon as he can.

The naming of Skewball's opposition as "Miss Grizzle" in the Bebbington broadside is very distinctive; all the other broadsides that I can see in the Bodleian name the grey mare as Maid Sportly or Miss Sportly, or even Miss Portsley. If the citation come from Kittredge, presumably the broadside was in an American collection?
