HORSES COMING

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-R. F. Car
man, Familiarity called Dick" by his
assocites, who is to race forty-seven
horses at Oakland this winter. al
though occupying a prominent posi-
ton in the public eye for the last two
decades as judge of show horses.
only entered the racing game last fall
during the Jamaica meeting. At
that time Mr.. Carman purchased
Waterbury, and If memory serves,
the brother of Old England and Ken
ilworth carried Carman's white,
blue sach and bars on sleeves to
victory in stake at the fall meet
ing at Aqueduct, defeating among
others, Lucky Jack" McGinnis'
Frank Gill and other lessor stars in
the turf armament.
George Rose, who was very friend
ly with Mr.. Carman, persuaded the
Long Island millionaire to ship to
Ascot Park for the winter meeting.
Waterbury was entered in the Ascot
Derby and other racing fixtures of
Southern California, but failed sig
nally to live up to his eastern reputa-
ton.
Mr.. Carman was not to be denied,
however, for notwithstanding Water
hurVfC dir1ao1 foi1 Inc
Trainer Butte to look around for
available racing timber. Blute fan
cied the handicap horse w. H. Carey
and purchased him for $1,000.
Unlike Waterbury. the son of Ed
Farrell made good immediately and
proved to be the champion of the
handicap division at Ascot. winning
the Ascot handicap and proving
first-class racer in every particular.
In Carman's stable is a maiden
colt, Oriflamb, that should make his
| mark in California if nothing hap
pens to him. Orifiamb was bred by
w. OBJ. Macdonough, and is a nicely
turned individual. Although possess
ing high turn of speed he hasn't
yet learned to do his best. At Grave
send during the fall meeting Carman
played the colt heavily, and only for
running out at the stretch turn would
have landed. Like Magazine and
Martha Jane, Orifiamb will be enter
ed in all the three-year-old stakes,
and I'm told will also be a Burns
handicap nominee. | have heard it
said that Trainer Blute considers
Orifiamb the star of his whole string.
Jane Swift is another two-year-old
that Carman will take west. She won
at Brighton Beach last week.
Guy Burns, a brother of Tommy
Burns, who led the list of winning
riders for several seasons and who is
now riding in Europe, will do Car
man riding on the coast. He pur-
chased the contract on Guy from
Father Bill" Daley during the
Sheepshead fall meeting, the consid-
Grafton being $500. Since then Guy
has ridden all OF Carman's races. He
is good post boy, has fine seat and
handles a horse with great conf
dence. Many of the eastern turf
scribes consider Guy equally as clever
booter as his distinguished brother.
Riding fol- a big stable like Car
mans, Guy Burns will have big fol-
lowing during the winter on the
coast. and unless all signs fail should
be close to the lead in the list of
winning riders.
w. v. Conran ships Kercheval and
a few other horses to southern Cali
fornia in few days. Kercheval has
been big disappointment, not only
to Conran, but to the whole western
delegation. Early in the season there
was much talk of sensational clean
up being planned with the Burns
handicap winner, but the four-year-
old son of The Commoner couldn't
raise a gallop in these parts.
He may do better in California
| though, but it is not likely that he
will cut the same figure in Western
racedom as he did last year.
Won Tromp is another horse whom
the western delegation thought
would prove a handicap horse here,
but who, like Kercheval, hasn't been
able to beat fat man. Won Tromp
\ is now owned by Boots" Durnell
\ and is reported to be in good form
1 again. He may win before Durnell
| ships back to California.
/ Billy Mckinney, who raced Won
Tromp at Ascot last spring, purchas-
ed Golf Ball for the California meet
ings. The three-year-old son of
Plaudit won the first time out in Nc
Kinney's colors. but in his next es-
say. after leading by several lengths
! and appearing sure winner, broke
