AMONG THE FLYERS.
A VISIT TO SANTA ANITA, EDGE
MONT AND ROSEMEADE.
Some Likely Youngsters Who Will Be
Heard From on the Turf-Three Noted
Stables and Their Stock Inspected.

>
Dow Williams, the young trainer Sc
lected to handle the stable for the season
of 1891. He escorted the writer through
the stalls. The 2-year-olds of next sea-
son are principally by Gano, a good
looking son of Grinstead. The Ganos
will make their debut next season, and
much interest naturally centers in the
youngsters. AS a general thing they
are better lockers than the average
Grinsteads. The only 2-year-old Grin
stead that will be on the turf next year
is Salonica. She is a full sister to Verano,
and is quite racy looking filly. La
Puente, a flly by Gano, out of Belinda,
promises to develop into a great sprinter,
if looks go for anything.
Another filly that should be a good
one is Santa lolita, by Gano, out of Ex-
pertinent. She is half-sister to the cele-
brated Silver Cloud, who was killed in a
race at the Bay district track, San Fran
cisco, soon after running the great
American Derby.
Gorilla is slick appearing filly. She
is by Rutherford, out of the once cele-
brated race filly, Fallen Leaf. Rio
Grande is a handsome colt, with long
sweeping stride. He is half-brother to
Clio. If San Salvador follows in the
footsteps of his half-sister, he will come
pretty near being world-beater. San
Salvador is by G&no, out of Maggie EN-
erson, and is consequently haJf-brOther
to Sinaloa, one of the greatest mares
that ever looked through bride. Santa
Ana, the 2-year-old tilly who ran at the
August meeting of the Agricultural as
sOciatiOn, has grown considerably, and
promises to be more than SER
viceable 3-year-old. Santa Ana is
a full sister to Santiago, who ran second
in the American Derby this year. st.
Argentine, half brother to the world
famous Volante, has been turned out
and will not be raced as a two-year-old,
The fashionably- youngster hurt
himself while running in the paddock.
St. Argentine is by Gano, out of Sister
Anne.
The reporter next visited the stud
stables. Pete Woods is now in charge,
and he took delight in showing the scribe
the stations. Grinstead, Gano, Verano,
Amigo, Rutherford and Emperor of Nor
folk, were led out for inspection.
'There is my favorite," said Mr..
Woods, when Verano was brought out.
The son of Grinstead is certainly
grand looking race horse, and should be
a success in the stud. The celebrated
Emperor of Norfolk looked all over a
great race horse. The mighty son of
Norfolk will never race again, but will be
kept at the head of the Santa Anita
stud. The Emperor is full brother to
the world beater, Ell Rio Rey. He won
the great American Derby in his year in
the commonest canter, easily outclass-
ing his field. The Emperor of Norfolk
will always be classed with such per-
formers as Salvador, Keystone, Tenny
and Hanover.
Amigo will have a number of mares
stented to him the coming season. This
handsome horse is by Prince Charlie
out of Mission Belle by Grinstead.
Prince Charlie is the sire of the world
beater, Salvador.
A hurried inspection of the weanlings
and brood mares was made. The writer
was much impressed with a weanling
filly by Nerano out of Miss Ford. This
is Miss Ford's first foal, and as she was
a great race mare in her day, great
things are expected from the youngster
when she faces the starter. Two wean-
lings by Emperor of Norfolk came in for
more than an ordinary amount OF adj
miration from the group OF interested
spectators. One is out of Pay
ola by Rutherford, and the
dam of the other one is Arreta by Vir-
gil. ''Lucky" Baldwin made serious
mistake in selling Volante. The wean-
lings by this Derby winner show up
splendidly and look all the world l'ye
their famous sire. Another weanllng
bred in purple is by Emperor of Norfolk
out of Experiment. The sire OF this
aristocratic youngster is a Derby winner,
and the dam threw Silver Cloud, who
was also Derby winner.
Edgemont breeding farm, founded by
J. w. Robinson, is about three miles
distant from Santa Anita and about
three-fourths of a mile from Rosemeade.
Walter Maben is in command here, and
it will not be long before the fame of
the Edgemont trotters will be known all
over the country. Mr.. Robinson i'm
ported car load of young trotters from
Kentucky about year ago. He selected
the most popular strains of blood and
has number of youngsters by we'll
known sons of the celebrated George
Wilkes. A colt by Wilton, 2:19L, out
OF Gray Deana by Administrator has i'm
proved wonderfully in looks since his So
journ in Southern California. He has
dIcduy eiiOWH tudC lie possesses more
than ordinary speed and stamina. Wal
ter Maben is also handling several
youngsters by the great Red Wilkes.
Redondo, the symmetrical son of
Stamboul and Dido, has been ailing for
several weeks, but he is rapidly round
ing to.
A colt by Stamboul, out of Jessie Bal
lard, is destined to make record for
himself when he is old enough to be
started against the scythe-bearer, but it
is rather early in the season for predlc-
tions.
At Rosemeade the HERALD man met
Harry Rose. He has both the big sta
bles filled with fashionably bred trotters
and hangtails.
Argyle, the head of the thoroughbred
department, is bay horse by Monday,
out of Cuba by imported Australian.
Monday was by Cotton, son of Lexing-
ton. Argyle, who is handsome appear
ing animal, was bred at Palo Alto. and
was last year purchased by Mr.. Rose.
He is only six years old, yet he has al
ready made record for himself as the
sire of Fairy and Rinfax, two OF the
best two years turned out of Cali
fornia this year. The imported
mares from Australia will be bred to
Argyle, as well as all the mares that are
not raced. Fairy and Peri, who were
