The Sacramento correspondent of the
Breeder and Sportsman" sends that
Taper the following items:
Tommy" Heating left last week for
the Montana circuit with nine trotters
and PAGERS belonging to Winship &
Keating. Ottinger, Pill (2:141a p.), who
is trotting again, heads the list, not
one of which cannot beat 2:20. A green
four-year-old filly, by Waldstein, 2:25,
dam by The Grand Moor, paced a mile
easily in 2:15 few days before start
ing. One of their most promising horses
is Agitato, the great Steinway colt
which Millard Sanders had last year.
From the ease with which he works in
2:lo this early in his three-year-old
form, some phenomenal results are ex-
pected from him.
Sam Caste has Silver Bow, PIG and
number of other choice horses belong
ing to George H. Fox at the Sacra-
mento track. Silver Bow is sound and
going with all his old-time speed He
will be entered all over the California
circuit, and will probably materially
reduce his record. Mr.. Casio also has
a couple OF young things by Silver Bow
which are very choice, one especially
from Vision, by Prompter is very beau
tiful, square trotter and very fast.
Mr.. Fox's mare Bessie PancoaSt, "the
best bred mare in California" under
Casto's careful handling, will get a
good record this season.
One of the greatest yearlings in the
State is the brown colt by Diablo from
Grace dam of Creole, 2:15. Eagle,
H.1912), by Buccaneer. He is as sturdy
as cart horse, yet with fine finish,
and PAGES like an old campaigner, and
with a speed which promises to equal
his great sire.
Maud r. dam of Sibyl, 2:2712, Mad
rome O, 2:32), by Whipple's Hambleto-
nian, has been by her owner, Peter J..
Shields, bred to Richards Elector in
the hope of getting the finest road
horse in California.
At Rancho del Paso all their choice
trotting mares have been bred for the
first time IN several years, mostly to
Knight, 2:21h, and Algona. Shrewd
John Mackey sees that there is soon to
be an active demand for well-bred trot-
ters at good prices.
Touchet.(3 2:15, brother to Del Norte,
2:14, and Chehalis, 2:071a, is now at
Sacramento being prepared for the cir
cult by Sam Casio, his owner. He is
the handsomest of the great trinity Of
brothers, and age for age was the fast
est. He is now at years old, sound
and going at rate which promises
that his career this season will be
sensational and that he will end the
season California's champion pacing
stallion
