A FORTUNE IN HORSE RACING.

of my breeding stables have weekly reports,
and know just exactly on what horses am
making and on what am losing"
FORTUNE IN HORSE RACING.
How did your stables pay last year?' I
asked
Fairly WELL" was the reply. "They Melted
me something like sl27OOO and they cost
about $4,000. l paid 100000 for Tammany
when l bought him yearling. He won
Sfo,0OO last year and he will probably win at
least $50, 900 this season. He is now three
years old, and will take him off the track after
this season and breed him To show you how
run the stables: When bought Tammany
OF course charged the racing stables with him.
All the expense Of keeping him has been
charged to him, as well as every other item that
he has cost. 1 also charge against him per
cent on the amount invested in him,
and the difference between the cost
and the amount he brings gives me
the profit I make out Of him. When l take
him over to the breeding stables l will
charge the breeding stables $50 900 for him
and viii credit that amount to the racing
stables. regular record will be kept Of his
colts, and he ought to produce thirty or forty
| a year, which at eleven months old will be
worth $1,000 apiece and in some cases Will
bring as high as $4,000 each. will only keep
the best colts of any of my breeding and reg
ularly weed out the culls. Each of these colts
will be charged in turn and the two stables will
be kept entirely separate. so you see can tell
| to TT just where am making or losing"
DAILY ON HORSE TRAINERS.
Marcus DAILY has the best horse trainers in
the United States. Every one knows of Mat
| thew Byrues, who is at the head of his stables
here, and who gets, / am told, something
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year. The
| Jockey who has charge Of Tammany is
Snapper Garrison, who is said to receive
$40 900 year, and 1 got picture today OF
Snapper Garrison on Tammany which was
recently made for Mr.. DAILY. Mr.. DAILY said:
II think good horse trainers are born. not
made. They must have an intuitive knowledge
OF the horse and good trainer is rare man.
We never allow our horses to be abused or
sworn at on the farm. OF course it is different
| in race; then the jockeys sometimes cut the
life almost out of them"
THE RACER VERSUS THE TRoTTER.
"How about the trotter. Mr.. DAILY? You
have a number Of fine trotting horses"
mo, not now" was the reply. 81 am clos
ing out my trotting stock as fast as possible. 1
don't believe that trotting is legitimate sport.
1t is the result of mechanical training and me-
chanical breeding. prefer to devote myself
to running stock and believe that there is
more money in it. The earning capacity Of a
running horse is much greater"
"How about the record? Has it reached its
lowest limit?''
mo. believe not I expect to see a mile
trotted in two minutes before l die"
"How about the racing record? Will that be
lowered?"
THAT is hard to say" said Marcus DAILY. at
Ia true phenomenal horse may come which
will cut it down below 1.35, the record now held
by Salvador. There is limit to the physical
possibility of horse and 1.35 is very fast
time"
ENGLISH HORSES CAN'T BEAT Us.
there told Mr.. DAILY that had visited the
stables of North, the nitrate king, in England
last summer and asked him what he thought
Of the horses which North had sent to the Chi
cago derby.
anything" was his reply. "They are not ac-
climated and English horses can do little in
America for the first year. The tracks are hard
for them and they cannot do themselves justice.
North has some horses which are good in Eng
land. but il am not mistaken they would be
considered second-rate in America. England
can make better strain Of blood than we can
can breed better horses here, put new life into
them by feeding and take them back and beat
them on their own track"
$4,000 ON THE BROOKLYN SUBURBAN.
Speaking Of business again, Mr.. DAILY, do
you ever bet on your horses?'
ayes, 1 do" was the reply, "but don't put
my winnings and losings down to the profit or
loss of my stables. I invest in bets upon my
was going up. / back them for what think
they are worth and I made s57, 900 on the
Brooklyn suburban last year, but this matter
goes into my private expense account and it is
not set down against the horses"
