AMERICAN HORSES IN ENHLAND.
rhe Ventures of Messrs. L0rillard and
Sanford-The Prospects for the Future.
New York World, 18th.
The news of MI. Pierre Lorillard's initial
success with Parole in the Newmarket handi-
cap will be warmly received throughout this
country, not only because of the natural
with the representative Of the
American turf who has sent his stable such
u distance to compete with the English |
horses on their own courses, but as we'll be- |
cause 'sthe little brown gelding'' is so well
known to all habitues of the track from
Saratoga to Baltimore, and as popular as the
famous mare Beeswing used to be with the
northern pitmen. Both of the defeated
horses are animals of good quality -Ison-
omy, in particular, is of high class so that
there is encouragement for hoping
that Mr.. Lorillard's plucky venture
may be crowned with financial suc-s
cess, and that at last some light
may be thrown on the interesting problems
of the relative merits of English and Ameri-
can thoroughbreds and of dirt and turf
tracks. Should Uncas and the Duke of
Magenta be enabled to come mp to the post
in form, the test would be a decided one,
while the 2-year-olds are of such good breed
ing and looks that it would be reasonable to
consider them fairly representative OF the
American youngsters of 1879.
1t is almost a quarter of century ago
since the first American stable was sent to
England. The story of Mr.. Richard len
Brock venture, or rather of it's beginning,
was told in detail in the World a year ago.
The American stable was strong one, what
with Pryor, Prioress, Starke, Satellite
formerly Sheriff., and Umpire, the strap
ping son of Alice Carneal, who made such a
clean sweep of the 2-year-old stakes
just twenty years ago this summer
that the English could hardly be
convinced that the colt was not q
3-year old. It is just nineteen years ago to-
day since Sayers and Heenan fought at
"heath-glrded Farnborough'' for the champ
sporting rivalry was at its highest when a
battle at Epson for the Derby. His failure
to display anything like his 2-year-old form,
though he was fairly to the front at the
finish, was sore disappointment to the
American turf-lovers, and from that fatal
! AOA
Breck's venture. It was not-measured by
the magnitude of the races captured-a
successful campaign, though there were
some sunny days for the stable. Prioress
though wretchedly handled in the race fol
the Goodwood cup, placed the Csarewitch Of
1857 to her credit, after memorable dead
heat of three with Ell Hakum ano
Queen Bess, while in 1859 Umpire was 81
grand]y successful in the 5-year-olt
events that he left off the winter favor
ite for the Derby of 1860, and Stark
won the Goodwood stakes, landing the much
desired Goodwood cup two years later. Blu
; luck was against the stable, which had de
! veloped fatal habitude, such as p0ssesse'
Lord Rosebery's horses last year, of runnln
second, and in racing he does not come nea
enough "who comes to be denied;" in the es
citement of the Presidential campaign 9
