'f9-*''r Great Prize.

treat Pr1Ze.
Saratoga. N. Y, Aug. 23.-If the winner
of the Futurity, to be run at Sheepshea.1
Bay next Saturday, does not come from
Horse Haven the shrewdest turfrnen will
be surprised. Recent work and racing of
the candidates quartered here indicate a
big field and fast race.
Several promising maidens are being
quietly prepared on this course and their
trainers make no. secret of the fact that
their charges are above the average. Just
how many youngsters will assemble at the
post to struggle for the rich prize it is
impossible to state, but present indications
point to at least twenty seven. A fortnight
ago the stake looked to be at the mercy of
Sydney Pagets KiIlashandra and every
body was predicting a filly year, but the
sudden development of James Rowe's
Chacornac has upset these opinions, and the
race is now admitted on all sides to be the
most open in years.
Musatte is we'll thought of for the big
stake, and her owner, j. S. Ferguson, says
that her winning fiye-furlong race in
/: :01 As at Brighton, August 5. was only
an exercise gallop for her She is in tee
hands of William Hayward.
Killashandra has been coughing slightly,
but her stable has hopes of sending the
daughter of Goldfineh and Connemara to
the post in prime condition. She looks
fit and has been been out every morning.
The Bromley stables hope will be Iro-
quoise Belle who has been going in reso-
lutte fashion. John E. Madden will have
Gulden fit to run for his life, but his race
yesterday does not make him look dan
gerous.
Pierre Loriilards recent purchase, David
Garrick, is progressing nicely under the
watchful eye of Jack Joyner, and will
be hard horse to beat. John Boden has
very fast one in the Rayon dor colt
Ohette who has been moving in great
shape. Some of the trainers up here tip
this colt to win. Brigadier, in HylRld's
stable, with his pull in the weights, is
much fanced, as is the same trainers Mag
nificent Phil Dryers Hanover colt Ham
mock has won many admirers by his easy
way of going. Two favorites of the season,
Plucky and Modrine, are also ready for
the fray, and good judges say that will be
near the front at the finish.
