Bruce Charles Lowe
"BREEDING RACEHORSES BY THE FIGURE SYSTEM"
Charles Bruce Lowe (1845-94) died prematurely at 49 years of age, having suffered progressive blindness and declining health for some years. He possibly suffered from undiagnosed and untreated diabetes. Born on January 4, 1845 at Deptford, Clarence Town, New South Wales, Australia, he received early training as a accountant. He died on October 27, 1894 in London. Some family relations were involved in the dairy industry. He was a bloodstock agent in Sidney involved with the sale of many quality Thoroughbreds. He is said to have been able to recite pedigree information at yearling sales extensively from memory. Lowe writes that he had "twenty years experience in judging livestock in the show rings of New South Wales." He traveled internationally as a bloodstock agent, buying and selling high quality stock. C. Bruce Lowe was an "evolutionary thinker", "important researcher and theorist" according to Keith Binney.
