Waswift 49,. Turney Bros. -100-1
OF the lot Heno, Mackay's colt. by
Henry Young or Falsetto-Quiver, is at
present the favorite, and perhaps just
" so. His breeding does not show his
ability to stay a mile and a half, for his
dam, Culver, never won on the fat at
more than six furlongs, and Henry
Young, his sire, was not actually along
distance horse. his sire being Duke Of
MOntrose, while the sire of Culver was
F'austus, a well known producer of
sprinters, Bobby Beach and First
Ward being the only ones of his get to
go mile or more.
Still Heno has shown marked ability
to stay a fair distance, and, though he
has only won one race and that a short
one, his finish with Advance Guard in
the Jockey club stakes at Morris park,
where at weight for age he stuck to
that great stretch runner in the last
sixteenth, proves him a good horse. His
race with Dixieline, to whom he was
| giving seven pounds, also is to his
credit, and in addition to this, barring,
perhaps, not the best of legs, he looks
like a race horse.
His workout at Washington park on
Thursday. a nile and a quarter in ZIG,
some watches making it 2:15, was Inn
1 pressive. The track was heavy, he had
to run in the middle of it, and fighting
/ for his head all the way he ran the last
| quarter in 0:27 or better and the last
! eighth in 0:1S. He will be ridden by
/ McCue.
CRUzADOs NEXT IN DEMAND.
Lucky" Baldwin's Cruzados, by En-
peror of Norfolk-Atalanta II, is next
| in demand. Unlike Heno, he has every
| thing as regards breeding to recon-
mend him. for his sire, Emperor of Nor
/ folk, won the Derby and did everything
he was asked to do. while his dam, At
atlanta II, is by Grinsted, horse that
! could run four miles and who sired two
Derby winners, Volante and Silver
4 Cloud.

and 1t also proved that he could carry
weight. He has not started as a 3year-
/ old and since his arrival at Washington
park the fates in the shape of bad
tracks have been against his showing
what he can really do.
CLAIMS OF HERMIS.
Hermis. by Hermence-Katy of the
West, is the only other eastern candi-
| date on the ground He has Won a race
this year. but the performance which
| entities him to consideration in the
Derby is his third in a mile and a half
When carrying 90 pounds he was third
| to Monarka, 104. and Dublin. 106, in
2:33 2-5, all finishing heads apart.
This is, perhaps. the best public Der
by trial of the lot. as. although he did
not carry stake weight, he was in real
! ity giving weight to two pretty good A.
year-Olds. If Charlie Hughes does not
train him to death he may be an i'm
portant factor in the Derby.
WATCH PENTECOST.
Pentecost, by Hastings-Tarantell
after his good performance in the Su-
burban, will be sent west by his owner
J. E. Maddai, he having telegraphed to
that effect. At the beginning of the sea-
son he seemed to be an in-and-outer
as he ran some poor races and wor
some pretty good ones.
His third in the Brooklyn, and fol-
lowed by his second in the Suburban,
a great feat for a 3-year-old, stamps
him as a high class colt and one which
should have great chance in the big
Derby.
Arsenal, by Lamplighter-Hanna
da, may or may not be sent by Mr.
Featherstone. He has never shown in
public his liking for a distance. His
win in the Metropolitan at mile with
q light weight, though brilliant, was moi
a criterion of what he would do with
full weight at long distance. His de-
feat by Old England in a sprint race
does not count O'Connor will, Of course
ride him if he CON s.
McChesney, by Observation-Disclosures
Mason, appears still to be the hope o.
the middle west and it may be that ht
will carry out all that his 2-year-olC
career gave promise of and that his
owner, S. c. Hildreth may be correct
in his valuation of him.
