by the millionaire breeder Of thoroughbreds.
James b. Haggn 1t was at Mr.. Haggin's
famous Rancho del Paso and Elmendorf
studs that ten Of the horses finishing in the
money first saw the light Of day. Beginning
with the first race Mr.. Haggin bred Cara

Then in the steeplechase the successful horse.

ton. the sire Of COunterpoise. the winner OF
this race. Duke Of Kendall. by Sir Modred,
the winner of the last race. completed the
Haggin triumph for the day. 1t Is not often
that one breeder scores so heavily and tho

precedent in the annals Of the turf.
The card looked so easy that several patron
OF the clubhouse went to a well known book
maker before the races and asked him what
price he would lay against the combination
composed Of Czaraphine. Lavator. Tradition
and Hamburg Belle in the first four races.
He promptly offered 10 to on the proposition.

named fairly rolled home.
The clubhouse commissioners loaded the
books with CZaraphine money at s to or any
price the books we're willing to quote. They
also took Lavator and there was much jubila-

Fuller received rousing welcome when
he rode Oh England out OF the paddock for

a feeling that 1t was q shame to take the
