Water Pearl Fancied.
One OF the most fancied youngsters for
the Futurity undoubtedly will be Water
Pearl, the slashing big son of Watercress
and the best two-year-old in the barn of
Sydney Paget. Early in the summer Water
Pearl was hailed as the champion of the
younger division. but he had a hard race
at six furlongs in Gravesend mud, and this
seemed to dull his speed SO effectively that
later he was defeated by Mr. Keene's Bal
lot and again by the Ormondale stables
Oran. Water Pearl has now had a long
let up and is being especially pointed for the
Sheepshead Bay classic. He is sure to give
splendid account of himself He is
quick beginner and a free runner He has
shown tendency to back up at the end of
five and a half furlongs. however. and this
will not help him much in the seven fur
longs Of the Futurity journey
John +. MaddenS Conville became a Flu
turity possibility the other day by easily
defeating Horace E. Conville however has
not been considered in the same class with
Water Pearl Peter Pan, and may be
easily disposed Of If Horace E. ran TO his
best form in finishing behind Convile in the
Saratoga purse, he, too, may be- cast aside
as another exploded phenomenon from the
west. Young Rainey bought Horace E.
with the Futurity in mind. His brother
bought De Mund with the same idea in
view. Both seemed doomed to disappoint-
ment. The Raineys. who are young coke
millionaires from Cleveland, Ohio, came to
the eastern turf last year and raced a sta
BILE under the name of the Tippah Farm
stable Their best horse was Yankee Con-
sui, and with his death their luck appeared
to desert them. This year their only WIN
ner has been Toots Nook, a selling platter.
AS if to add to their racing woes, Toots
Nook, starting for the first time in month
or more last Tuesday. was beaten in sell
ing race. and then claimed by A. L. AUS
tin, who owns Bribery. Toots Nook was
entered to be sold for 1900 Adding to this
the value of the purse. Austin paid 50 $50
for horse easily worth twice that amount.
The Raineys are trying to buy the mare
back.
With less of glamour than surrounds most
of the other high-class eligibles. a young
ster known as Kentucky Beau is running
along and winning races which are impress
sive. The owners of Kentucky Beau are
said to have refused $4,000 for their Fu-
turity hope. So confident are they of win
ming the Sheepshead Bay stake that they
announced that nothing short of $4,000
would buy the Beau. This has been a year
for phenomenally high prices for horses OF
doubtful caliber, but it is not believed any
one will take a chance on Kentucky Beau
at the figures named. The Futurity purse
Is too elusive a proposition. Two years ago
Sysonby was regarded as the surest winner
ever sent to the post in this event. but the
