WHAT SOME OF THE KENTUCKY CRACKS ARE
| DOING.
Correspondence of the New York World
| LEXINGTON, March 15.-From a racing
standpoint 1t may be said that the season here
has fully begun, and more busy place than
the old Lexington track early in the morning
| cannot be found. All the public trainers have
their hands full in preparing horses for the
coming spring campaign.
George Cadwallader has horses belonging
to r. Fl. Owens, j. A. Grinstead Rodes It
Cadwallader's lot Is Leveller, who for some
time has been, highly thought OF for the
Louisville Cup, as little as to having been
accepted against him. After his gallop this
| morning his chances do not look quite 80 rosy.
1t will be remembered that he was sent to
Baltimore last fall to represent Kentucky in
the Dixie, but throwing curb a few days be-
fore the meeting he was an enforced absentee.
Cadwallader brought him home, and in due
time the curb under proper treatment dis
appeared. During the winter the colt had an
other set back by falling badly during one of
his rearing fits, and was somewhat bruised,
but quickly recovered. This morning, how
ever he pulled up lame In his right hind leg
the same in which he threw the curb-after
a good breezing gallop. Judged by the ex-
preston of Cadwallader'S face 1t was some
thing that George did not expect and certain
ly what he did not want. Of course the lame
ness may be only temporary, but with the
death Of Mahlstick, who was highly thought
of for the Louisville cup, the breaking down
Of Hmyar, q favorite for the same event, and
now for Leveller to give signs OF going amiss,
hackers OF favorites for the Louisville cup
may well be scared. Should Leveller get any
worse 1t Is safe to say that the admirers Of
Dave Moore, Glenmore, IncOmmOde, Janet,
Belle Of Nelson and Day Star will all see
shorter prices than Watts IL Co., OF Louis
vile. are now offering. OF the others In Cad
thought Of There are Kinkora, by Waverley,
who won the colt stakes last May; McGrathi-
ana by Tom Bowling, winner Of the Blue
Grass stake at Louisville; Strathmore,
Streattam, Warbler, Waterford, Blue Lodge,
Sly Dance, Kinkead and two unnamed two
year-olds by Waverley. OF those named,
Kinkead L. the most highly thought of.
w. b. Scully, another public trainer ha
Tom Sawyer and Solicitor, both four-year-
olds that promise well, judged by what they
did as three-year-olds. He has also very
promising filly in Lily r., the winner Of the
Filly stakes here last fall. which, with For
tuna, Stiton, Bowling Green, Mamie r. and
Wave O'Light keep him busy.
OF the others at the track Robbins has
Prophet and Ironclad. Forrest has Glenda-
liza, Ada Glenn and an unnamed two-year-old
tlly by Tom Bowling out OF Catina. Speigle
has Fairy Queen Newtown, Mill Boy, Mace
donicus, and Roquefort Tice Hutsell has
Last Chance, Alice Bruce, Opdebeck, Fonso
and Er5illa. Collision has HamerfeSt and an
untried two-y ear-old by Fell owcraft out Of a
Bonnie Scotland mare.
n fox, h otaI,
in the hands Of responsible trainers, may be
mentioned Price McGrath, who has got Uncle
An5el back from New York. McGrath Is get
ting old but II Audax or any OF the young
the coming season 1t will help INC" wonder
fully, not In financial way, however, for he
Is 50 wrapt up In the success Of Tom Bowling
as sire that for one Of his get to win a big
stake would do him more good than his trip
to the Hot Springs. 1t is understood that the
stable now consists Of Chesapeake, Axiom,
Audax, Verdict, Wissahickon, Mary Ann,
Duplicate Howard, Obadiah, Observanda,
Lucy George, Eight Wins, On Dit, Hyacinth,
Acquittal and Gidalia. The last named, how
known starter in the East, who has just orig
mated the VeStal stakes at Baltimore. 1t is
said that Billy Is decidedly sweet on the
daughter of Waltz and expects that she will
win the Vestll and other hlly stakes In 1880.
Another well known owneris Frank Harper,
the present pOssessOr OF LongfellOw, who has
promising stable the get" of that famous
horse, among which are Wildfellow Sally NJ,
Jilson johnson. Bonnie Ingles, Black Hills,
Irish King King Dutchman and Shaker. But
as to name all the horses at work would take
up column or two 1t may be briefly said
that Hunt Reynolds, Jim Williams, Major
Thomas, Bowen d Co, Jim Murphy, Keen
Richards, Abe Buford and Dan Swigert have
all good and promising strings" at work. |
All cannot be winners, of course, and some
must feel the bitterness of disappointment be-
fore the season is over.
