EIGHTEEN IN LIST OF 100000
WINNERS
RAPID INCREASE PROBABLE
American Turf Kings That Have Won
Thousands for Lucky Owners.
Stakes offered by Assoei-

| have earned the distinction Of winning
| 100000 or over in the history of the
| turf in this country. Irish Lad and
Africander were the latest accessions
to the ranks of the all star aggregation
of brilliant performers, which is now
made up as follows: Domino, Kings
ton, Sir Walter, Raceland, Hanover
Salvador, Miss Woodford Potomac
Strathmeath, Banquet, Tammany
Firenzi His Highness, Dobbins, Tour
nament, Iroquois, Irish Lad and Afri-
Cander
These are the names to coniure with
names that are all but household
words among racing folk-not one
which did not race to fame while earn
ing a small fortune. Hardly one of
these has been tried which has not
added luster to the turf in the produce
tion of worthy sons and daughters.
Two at least should be added to the
honor roll in the season of 1905, now
begun, and in all probability from five
to ten others may reach the coveted
mark so eagerly sought by owners and
trainers. Major Daingerfield and Delhi
are the two which have only to win
one race of a sufficient value to place
them in the charmed circle. Major
Daingerfield only needs a few hundred
dollars, and Delhi has already earned
a total of 500, 400, making him the big
gest money winner ever sired and bred
in the Castleton stud of James r.
Keene.
Delhi in Line
Delhi now a 4-year-old, is likely to
earn place higher in the list even
than, Sir Walter, winner of $124695;
Hanover, winner of $121 1872; Raceland,
winner Of S121. .92O; Miss Woodruff, win
ner Of S11S,970; Salvador, winner of
$121 ,120, and Firenzi, winner of $116,000.
Delhi won $73,542 last year as a 3-year
old, and while his earning capacity
may not be as large this season, it is
likely to run to as big figures if he
trains on. In all probability he will
be the nineteenth horse in the list.
Major Daingerfield, who developed
into something of a rogue after sweep
ing all before him as a 3-year-old, will
a place among the big money winners.
1t was said last fall that he would be
permanently retired, but the latest
news is that he will be trained again
this year, in all probability for the
single purpose of sending him to the
tI,a Of bot
more than 100000 The sooner he wins
it and is retired the better it will be
for his reputation, unless, perchance,
he comes back this year a better horse.
Among those who are likely to reach
the mark this year. and, in any event,
before their racing days are over, are
Hermis Beldame, Ort Wells, Stalwart.
Broomstick, Hamburg Belle, Artful,
Tanya, Tradition and Sysonby. AS it
happens, these are among the very
horses which are likely to figure prom
inenty in the many rich and classic
fixtures which will be decided this
year.
With one or two exceptions they are
the greatest and best now in training
of horses years old and over. and
it only means the winning of one or
two of the richer stakes to put any one
of them within easy striking distance
of the goal, if not on the mark itself.
There has never been a season when
so many horses could be considered in
the 100000 class, and this in itself
will add interest to a year which
promises to eclipse all others in the
matter of brilliant performances and
close and stirring struggles on the
turf.
