The wonderful success OF james r.
Keene's racing stable during the campaign
OF 1907 will go down in turf history IN a
worlds record. No owner and breeder Of
thoroughbred racehorses ever won so
much money in stakes and purses In a
single season. The fact that Mr.. Keene
bred the phenomenal ~twO-year-Old Colin,
by COmmandO-PastOrcila who won twelve
consecutive races without suffering a defeat,
h alone something TO be proud of, but the
additional SUCCESS Of the great Peter Pan,
another blue blooded son of the dead Com
mandO, together with that of Ballot, by
Voter-CeritO, proves TO the world that as a
breeder Mr.. Keene Z lnds pretty close TO
che top notch.

compiled a record of the Keene stable for
1907, which shows hat the total winnings
were S4O2 1888. This amount includes first,
second and third moneys, also special
