STABLE BOY RISES
RAPIDLY TO VEAL Til
One Year as a Rubber Makes
Keen Younaster

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 14-In
every department throughout the busi-
ness world there are innumerable in
stances where a man has started out in
life with a bunch of sf1oestrings and
ended with owning a complete tannery,
and this Is as true of the horse world
as any other.
One Of this kind is at hand in this
city, and is connected with Herndon
Dudley, formerly of Richmond, KY,
and who began but one year ago as a
rubber Of horses, but now owns a sta
bic Of his own and will show his col
ors on the turf for the first time next
season. Leaving his home in Madison
county, he came to this city and ap-
piled to Jim Baker for a position In
/ his stable. Baker had no opening, but
the young man was persistent. He
expressed a keen desire to accompany
Baker on his racing tour in any capa-
city, and at last, through persistent
opportunities, he was taken along with
the stable as a rubber. He kept with
Baker all through the season and re-
turned here with him at it's close. Now
he starts out on his own hook and will
tempt fame and fortune on the turf
with racing material Of his own. It
came about in this way:
In the stable of Baker was the good
colt Handmore, by Handsel, dam Eva
Densmore. Baker bought him as
two-year- old, but after training him
hard he began to despair of ever max
ing winning. He had poor legs and
feet and had been practically discarded
Tor racing purposes. Dudley took the
colt and put him in harness to jog
ging cart. He gave the colt a daily
exercise in this fashion. and on Aug.
18 last, on Dudley's advice, he was
started in the overnight handicap at
Detroit He was the longest price of
any horse in the race. None could be
found who thought well enough of the
youngSter to take a chance on him,
save and except young Dudley. He
took a chance, and it was a big one.
He had been careful all the season and
had saved his earnings, and now he
made a plunge and they all went on
Handmore for this handicap. Hand
more practically walked under the
wire by three lengths and Dudley was
q rich man. Constant care and care
full watching told Dudley when the
horse would win and when he could
not. Fortunately he used this knowl-
edge to good effect, for he was not on
him when he lost, but every time he
won after the handicap victory Dudley
was on him good and strong. The re-
suit was that he finished up the season
with Baker and came home with a
snug sum of money in his belt. Now
comes the sequel
During the Fasig- Upton thorough
bred sales in this city last month Dud-
ley bought five head Of corking good
youngsters, and he now has them at
the old association track in training
for next seasons events. With him is
the old Stager, Cy Perkins, bet
ter known as the trainer of En-
durance by Right, the best racing
filly of her day, and the two are
giving expert attention to their
charges, SO that it might be well to
watch this stable, which is made up as
follows:
Bay colt, by Fresno, dam Gladiola II.
Bay colt, by Del Paso IL. dam Ju-
lisse.
Chestnut filly, by Rousseau. dam
Lisanne.
Bay filly, by imp. Sorcerer, dam
Winged Sandals.
