besides his two stock farms at La Grange
KY, and just above Pittsbure. he owns
two race tracks, the time-honored IexInr
ton course and the old Bascombe al Mo-
bile, Ala, which he used to utilize as a
place to winter his horses in the sunny
south.
Perhaps the best race horse he ever owned
was Troubadour. Broomstick, his present
champion, is good horse. but erratic.
while Troubadour won the Suburban han

and many other events too numerous to
mention. On Troubadour's Suburban Capt
Brown made the largest winning of his turf
career. upward of $4,000 in wagers, besides
the $4,000 stake.
Most of this large winning was made in
the future books, which in 1885, Trouba-
dour's year, were made all over the country
