HOW WILL THEY RACE2
Some Youngsters who Have Been Bred
From tho Real Good Ones


From tho Real Good Ones
The gentle art Of picking winners"
has engaged the minds of many men
ut many times and in many places,
/ but when it comes to attempting to
solve the two-year-old problem at this
season of the year in country of such
'mngnificent distances" as this it can
be readily conceived that conjecture
has most to do with the matter.
There are, however, as is to be ex-
pected, a number of two-year olds that,
partly from their ownership partly
from their breeding, and in some cases
from the prices they brought as yearl-
lngs In the public sale ring, have en-
gagged particular attention. Notably
among these are the sons and daugh-
tiers of Domino, that James II. Keene
received at the Castleton stud, and the
youngsters that have been brought
East from the Great Bitter Root stud
which Marcus DAILY has established in
Montana.
Domino's stud career was as brief
as his racing career was meteoric, in
spite of sundry natural ailments with
which he cOntended from tn. first. He
was great race horse but an unlucky
one, and 1t is through the doings of his
get that one must hope for his fame to
be perpetuated. Mr.. Keene has not
able pair of colts by the heet-footed
son of Himyar in Doublet, chestnut
out of that sterling mare Lucy Wal
lace, and Disguise, n bay Cnt of the
Imported mare Bonnie Gal There is
good deal of resemblance to the dead
| and gone Domino about each of Them
but there Is considerable deviation of
type, especially about the quarters.
Mr.. Keene has not had the best luck
in the world on the turf for the past
few seasons, but he Is not tired of
tempting fate. His string IS again
large one. In Runaway Girl he has
chestnut daughter of Domino, out of
imported Fair Vision, that many good
judges think may beat even the colts
by the Futurity winner.
Mr.. Keene's stable Is not confined to
home-bred ones, and he paid some big
prices for yearlings sold IN 1898 mt
public auction. Among these was the
chestnut colt Toddy-by Hauover-Hot
Scotch, for whom Milton Young, of the
McGrathiana stud, got So, 100 The get
of Hanover has done so universally
well-the get of this sire headed the
list last year with over $4,000 to
their credit-that 1t may be hoped that
Toddy will prove no exception to the
rule and race up to the family average,
rs his appearance would lead one to
expect.
The Bitter Root stud turned out
some very good looking yearlngs In
1893, n number of which Frai Mossom
recently brought up from Montana. 1t
Is understood that the pick of these
We're sent to BILLY" Lakeland's stable
on their arrival and anyhow, no train
er has two much better lockers than
st. Finnan and Hamptonian
These colts are decided opposites at
that. Hamptonian, who is a bay by
imported Bathampton-Alice Himyar,
looks the English thoroughbred all
over He is full of quality, lather high
In the air, and shows all the nervous
excitability that so traditionally be-
longs to the blooded horse. st. Fin
nan, on the other hand, has more of
the solid strength and durability that
the sire, Tammany, the vanquisher of
Lamplighter displayed, though his
dam, Ayrshire Lass is an imported
mare.
