ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
LOUISVILLE, July 26.-The horse that is
at present attracting more attention than
any other, not even excepting Tammany,
the great Eastern crack, is Yo Tambien.
The great desire of the sporting world to-
day is to see these two horses meet. 1t
would be great battle between the East
and the West. Yo Tambien would be al
lowed weight for sex, and there is not a
horse in the country that can give her
weight and beat her.
Yo Tambien is chestnut filly, and was
foaled in 1885, She was bred by Theodore
Winters and is by Joe Ho ooker, son of Mon
day, by Cotton, by Lexington, and May
flower, by imp. Eclipse, son of Orlando, by
Touchstone. Yo Tambien's dam, Marian,
the dam of King of Norfolk, Emperor Of
Norfolk, El Rio Rey, Rey-del-Rey, etc, by
Lady Lancaster, by imp. Monarch, grand
dam Maggie Mitchell, by imp. Yorkshire,
out of Charmer, the best daughter of imp.
Glencoe, she out of the noted Betsey
Malone, by Stakeholder.
What ths Horses Name Means.
Yo Tambien is chestnut with stripe of
q
coronet of the near front foot. The name
of Yo Tambien means 'T Also" or ssMe
Too" She is one of the best of her famous
dams produce, and has already won this
season nearly $50, 900. She has a distin-
guished turf lineage, and she is from win
ming and producing families on both sides.
AS a 2-year-old she started 13 times, of
which she won eight races. This year she
has shown marked improvement, and has
proved that she is not only fleet of foot, but
a slayer, for her race tor the Great Western
Handicap. at mile and a half, which she
ran in 2:33A, is only half second behind
Firenzi's record. Her performance is bet
ter in every way than Firenzi's, as the last
named mare was years old and carried less
than weight for age G1O, while Yo Tam
bien carried penalty.
She has started as a 3-year-old nine
times, and has suffered only one defeat,
when Bashford beat her for the Merchants
Stakes at Latonia, but she was conceding
him ten pounds and sex allowance. She
was on this occasion beaten only half
length, the mile and an eighth being made
in 1884.
Good Record This Year.
Yo Tambien's eight victories this year
comprise sweepstake for 3-year-olds at
Latonia, the Tobacco Stakes and purse
race at the same meeting, all of which were
at mile. She next won the Garfield Park
Derby at a mile and a quarter, carrying 127
pounds, and beating Wadsworth, ARA and
a good field in 2:40Z, but the track was in
such terrible condition that no estimate Of
merit can be gained from the time made.
Her next win was in the Boulevard Stakes,
for all ages, at Washington Park, Chicago,
which she won easily from Faraday, Santi-
ba Ia in = he
same meeting few days larer she won the
Drexei Stakes, also at mile, beating Ga
Undo, Chief Justice and Carlsbad, and win
ming with great ease in 1:42, with 122
pounds up. This victory she followed by
winning the Great Western handicap, also
at the same meeting on July II, when she
accomplished the feat already referred to
above, and on July 19, carrying 80 pounds,
won a purse, mile and sixteenth, in
1:451z, thus lowering the record by half a
second, the best previous record at the dis
tance being LAG. These performances
stamp her as dangerous rival to the best
3.year-old fillies of the East.
