The title names three of the most celebrated harness horses of the late nineteenth century: Jay-Eye-See, a pacer, and Maud S. and St. Julien, both trotters. The word "Leaders" points to the horses placed at the front of a team, a common arrangement for showing off a stable's best animals. In that period, fast trotters and pacers drew large crowds to county fairs and racing tracks, and their records were followed in newspapers across the country. Maud S., in particular, became a national celebrity, and her times on the track helped make harness racing one of the most popular sports of the era.
