their blood. while if their progeny We're
also given it would be seen that it is
their breeding habit to transmit it. The
blood Of Rysdyk's Hambletonian enters
more or less into each of the six sIres
that have gained place in the final list,
| but less of it is to be found in Sultan
than any other. Stamboul, Baron
Wilkes and Lord Russell are the nearest,
Icing grandsons, but the several lines of
his blood in Sidney aggregate larger
percentage. Sultan and Stamboul afford
the only instance in which sire and son
have both got eight representatives in the
2:3O list as young as 10 years old. This
shows very strong troiting proclivity
in the blood both of The Moor and Of
Hambletonian which are combined in
the younger horse.
''lf any further evidence were needed
to corroborate this deduction it can be
found in Sable Wilkes, who is bred of the
same lines in reverse order, and who is
the first and only horse up to the present
time to get eight trotters in the list at a
younger age than 10 years. STEAMBOAT
| was by the greatest son of The Moor. out
Of the greatest daughter of HANDLE
| tonian. Sable Wilkes is out of one of
the greatest daughters of The Moor, and
his sire was by what many regard
as the greatest son OF Hambietonian.
The experience of breeding seems
| never to have compounded from trotting
sources a greater STRATA that this for the
reproduction of trotting speed early,
often and extreme. The evidence of
this is not confined to these foremost in
stances cited, for it is the same formula
that has given Palo Alto its famous
BELLS" family, of which the stallion
regnant is Chimes now at Village farm.
The following list of stations proba-
bly, comes as near representing the ex-
IRENE capacity of trotting blood in the
country as any eight stations that can
be named.
Taking the regulation record Of Axtell
2:i2 81 AS standard limit, we have:
Kremlin, 2:07a, foaled 1887.
Stamboul, 2:0S, foaled 1882.
Palo Alto 2:OS4, foaled 1882.
Allerton, 1904, .foaled 1886.
Nelson, $40. foaled 1882.
Arion, 2:10a, ~ foaled 1889.
Delmarch, 2:114, foalded 1884.
Axtell, 2:12 81, foalded 1886.
Take either of these horses, sound
and at mis- best ALLOWING consistent MI
tured powers to the younger One,) and
1t would be difficult to name any stall
lion outside the list that would belikely
to beat him in three-in-five race"
II we must breed to the winner of
our greatest horses these should be the
greatest sireS of the near future, because
all are fast and all are tried race
horses excepting Arion, whom nobody
doubts) and winners in the highest sense
of the word,
As we look over the above list we
find that Palo Alto has no colts over 2
years old, and but one has taken a
record. Nelson served early and also
has one in the list, AXtell's oldest
are but 3 years, one Of which
has entered the list. Allerton;
oldest are two and none have yet
entered, nor have any appeared yet to
the credit of Delmarch or Kremlin, |
while no foals have yet been dropped to
the cover of Arion. Stamboul has nine |
to his credit, one of |
which has a record of 2:1S. As the sea-
son is but half gone and the most effect
i've half still remains, it is probable that |
these figures will need revising before i
its close.
Considering this fact Stamboul has
exceeded ali precedent, for he has
trained to a recoed Of 2:oS, and at the /
same time put an unusual number in the
list. Nor can his success over others he
attributed to relaxation from training in /
favor of stud indulgence, for, commence
ing at years old with highly credit
able record for its day, he has never
passed season wherein lie was not
trained and has never failed to lower his
record in any year up to 1890, his 9-year-
old form.
Sadgwick county has colt that is
half brother to SGamboul, bred exactly
in his line. He is at the Alton stock
farm, at Goddard. Sedgwick county,
Kan He was sired by Sultan, and his
lam is by brother in blood of Elec-
.ioneer. This colt, Allakan, Is, if posi-
bic, better bred than Stamboul. Siam
bouts dam was by Hambletonian TO-
while Allakan's dam was by Victor Won
brother in blood of Elec-
,ioneer. Victor Won Bismarck has put
i've in the list this year, and five already
n his list have lowered their records,
me of which, Banner Mark, to 2:17a.
Sedgwick county is fortunate in hav-
ng five or six of the very best trotting
stations in the world: Allakan, half
brother OF Stamboul, Jerome Eddy,
patchen Wilkes, Ashland Wilkes, Erie
Wilkes and Bonny Boy. All of these
ire successful both on the track and as
,ires. Stamboul has placed five new
rotters in the 2:30 list this season, Sui
an four. Patchen Wilkes five, Ashland
Wilkes five, Jerome Eddy four, Damo
me, Sherman one, Bonny Boy one. As
Aiakan is but 3 years old his success as
/ breeder is yet to be ascertained.
These sires ought to make Sedgwick
in a few years. one of the most
noted places in the United States for
rotting horses.
