Gossip About the Runners and Trotters
at the Park.
The season of 1892 promises to be a
very lively one for the bangtails. Year
lings are being taken up by the score,
and it is thought that by the middle of
January there will be double as many
2-year-olds in training as ever known be
fore in this state. Many OF California 8
crack horses in the past will be repre-
sented in 1892 by their progeny. Two
year-olds will be seen on the turf next
year by the great Volante and the still
greater Emperor of Norfolk. Both these
young sires won many memorable con-
test on the American turf, and proved
themselves racehorses of the highest
type. Their get will be watched with
the greatest of interest by all lovers of
the turf.
The stalls at the race track are filling
up very rapidly. A HERALD reporter
recently made tour through the stalls.
L. j. Rose has string of thorough
breds in training. H.. Jones is training
the string this year. He is the young
man who came down here with Colonel
Thernton's flyers in 1890. Jones has
been connected with many of the lead
ing stables in California for number of
years. Fairy, the speedy daughter of
Argyle and Fairy Rose is lame and it is
very doubtful whether she will face a
starter until late next season. Motto, a
2-year old filly by Sir Modred, promises
to hold her own in the best OF company.
She won several good races the latter
part of the year. The yearlings are
likely looking lot. Sir Roy, bay colt
by Sir Modred, is splendidly rounded
youngster and has a racy appearance.
Comrade, by Tyrant, is a strapping colt
and should more than win his oats.
