New-York tribune., 1907-10-08

Colin is still unbeaten. The great son of
Commando-Pastorellaw won his eleventh straight
victory in gaIloping home before Fair PIay
Royal Tourist and Meelick in the colt and gold
ing division Of the rich Matron Stakes at Bel
mont Park yesterday. He took up 129 pounds
and ran the six furlongs down the straight
course in 1:I2, two seconds behind the track
record made by Suffrage with 1O5 pounds up
last year. The was hardly more than a
good exercise gallop for him. however as after
racing Royal Tourist into submission in the
r1rst quarter of mile, there was nothing in the
racs to force him out, and he did appear to
be fully extended through the last sixteenth
The net value Of the stake TO Colin was 1926
bringing his total winnings for the season up TO
s124.522. Domino's earnings for the same age
were $lS0,0S5. but the Futurity and several
other stakes were much richer that year. Colin
has been in training since early in the season.
He won his first race on May %. and since then
has placed the following takes 10 his credit:
National Stallion, Eclipse. Great Trial. Brighton
Junior. Saratoga Special. Grand Union, Futurity,
Flatbush, Brighton Produce and yesterday the
Matron- He had TO be driven out TO beat Beau
coup head in the Eclipse, and Uncle had him
straight, TO ali appearances. at the head of the
stretch in the Saratoga Special, but in all his
other races he has won in the same command
ing style that characterized his victory yester-
day.
Harry Payne Whitney's Stamina won the fIly
end Of the Matron Stakes. covering the distance
one-ffth of a second faster than Colin. She
won as she pleased by four lengths. after a short
but decisive struggle with James r. Keenes
Masquerade half way down the straight. Her
manner Of winning stamps her as the best two
year-old fly in training, with the possible
ception of NoIasulga, and many good judges do
not hesitate to pronounce her better than the
feet daughter of The Commoner. Her share of
the stake was $3.50.
JAMES R. KEENES LARGE WINNINGS.
James r. Keene. the vice-chairman of the
Jockey Club, is now within Ss49, as near as can
be figured, of equaling the worlds record of turf
winnings in a single season. Colin. Masquerade
and Gretna Green, by finishing first, second and
third in their respective races, earned $1O.565
for Mr.. Keene yesterday, which brought his win
nings for the season up TO the huge total of
s376,725- The Duke Of Portland $369. 900
in first money in England in 1889. In order to
make the comparison fair one, 1t has been
figured out that his second and third moneys
amounted TO sS.574. which would make his total
S377574. Victory in one overnight race will give
MIR. Keene the long sought mark, while in all
probability he will win close 10 100000 before
the season is over. Mr. Keene held the previous
record for winning owners in this country of
S279.500. which amount he won in 1893 when
Domino, the grandsire of Colin, two-year-
old.
James R. Keene went down to the track &c
see Colin run, and in his quiet way showed
elation at the colts sterling performance. He
said that Colin would start in the Champagne
Stakes October 16. barring accidents, but
that he would hardly go to the post in the Nur-
sery Handicap Saturday. in which he
would have 10 make big concessions TO his oppo-
nents. In the Champagne Stakes Colin may
meet Uncle, Stamina, Notasulga, Jim Gaffney,
Fair Play, Spooner, Cohort and Beaucoup
among others.
