MANY NEW FACES
AMONG HORSEMEN
PROMINENT EASTERN OWNERS
SHIP HERE
BRING THEIR CRACK RACERS FOR
WINTER MEET
Santa Anita Seems to Have Become
Most Attractive Racing Center in
America and Thoroughbreds
viii Perform There

As showing the remarkable interest
the forthcoming meeting at santa
Anita has aroused among the owners
of high class thoroughbreds it only is
necessary to scan the list of prominent
newcomers who have elected to race
their strings here this winter. rms
list goes to augment the already long
list of owners who have raced thelr
stables here in former years
With the exception of James X.
Keene there probably is no turfman
today whose fame as breeder anu
racer of horses is more widespread
than that of John E. Madden, Al
though he has not signihed ms lnten-
ton of visiting Santa Anita this sea-
son Madden has sent several good ones
across the Rockies to race in his colors.
The horses are in charge of Charles
Patterson, who formerly trained Tor
Burns and Waterhouse.
I. c. Mcdowell, the man who bred
and raced Alan-a-Dale, is another big
owner whose colors will be seen in the
southwest for the first time this Win
ter. All of McDowelIs horses are
crackerjacks, notably Berwick, which
has been named in a number of the big
events. Mcdowell will be here in a
few days and will give his personal
attention to training his small but Sc
lect string.
r. A. Forsythe, the man who bred
Dorante, Montgomery, Tourenne and
other good ones, comes with a reputa-
ton as a successful trainer that would
be hard to surpass. Forsythe consid-
ers Berrymaid the bright particular
star of his stable and has entered her
in a number of stakes. Others in the
string are High Private and Bon
Homme, both good bread-winners.
The Ellxwood Park stable, owned by
nd Walter .aWiGnhn. hrOtherE
of the famous Jesse Lewisohn, has
been racing in the east all summer.
The Lewisohn boys have not been in
the racing game for any length of
time, but will be a welcome addition
to the list of newcomers this winter.
They come here with the reputation OF
having one of the best tWo-year- olds
ever shipped across the Rockies. Their
colt, ETHEREAL, winner of nine straight
races on the metropolitan tracks last
summer is considered almost the equal
of Maskette or Sir Martin. The work
of this youngster no doubt will be
watched with a great deal of interest
by local racegoers.
The stable has a most efficient train
er in John j. Ryland, who comes to
the southwestern racing field for the
first time. He is best known as the
trainer of the Gideon and Daily horses,
when that firm was racing on the big
tracks some of the best horses this
country has produced. AT later date
Hyland trained the horses of August
Belmont and it goes without saying
that he ought to be able to develop
the Lewisohn horses with the best pos
sible results. In addition, Hyland has
in his charge several other horses, the
property of Charles r. Fleischmann.
and several that he will race in his
own interest.
Max Hirsch is another turfman who
has appeared upon the scene of local
racing activity for the first time this
season. He has collected quite an i'm
posing stable that figures to create
some stir before the season is well un-
der way. Spencer, a high class racer.
undoubtedly is the best of the lot in
the Hirsch barn. This one captured
a number of good races in the east last
summer and will bear watching in any
high class field. In the lot are num-
Der of youngsters that have been named
in several of the juvenile events.
The Schwartze Brothers have decided
that Southern California is an ideal
place in which to pass the winter, and,
incidentally, gather expense money by
winning few of the events with thetr
stable of half a Dozen including the
speedy racer, Far West.
1. II. Wheatcroft, the wealthy Brit
ISL ROlulnDldlls ana OWlGI VI ltle ~
James stable, is going to find pleasure
and profit by racing his extensive sta
BILE in the southwest this winter. This
stable reached Los Angeles with consid-
erable prestige gained last summer at
Seattle, where Green Seal, the star of
the stable, lowered several track rec
ords. Wheatcroft intends going into
the racing game on large scale this
winter and with that object in view IS
augmenting his already extensive sta
BILE with the purchase of several new
horses. His most recent purchase was
Alma Dufour. purchased from Ed Cor
rigan, and Miss Sain, for which he
paid $4,000
G. H. Brown, another owner whose
colors will be seen at Santa Anita for
the first time. is credited with having
paid the largest amount on record for
a steeplechaser. John Nj. F. is the
horse that Brown brought to this
country from England, and for which
it was reported he had paid the mag
nificent sum of $4,000 The horse never
came up to expectations, however, and
never earned one-quarter of his pur-
chase price.
Instead of again heading toward the
gulf stream, in the direction of New
Orleans, c. r. Ellison,-and known as
Blondy-has turned his gaze westward
toward the setting sun. He has a talr
lot OF III MS Ste1bASs "a
Westbury and Jaeobtte are the more
prominent.
Another newcomer this season is II.
L. Shaw, who has brought Golden
Pearl, a half brother to the $4,000 wa
ter Pearl, to the coast. Shaw PAID S4ooV
for Golden Pearl at Sheepshead- Day
last summer and expects to get some
of this money back this winter in the
way of purses and handicaps. -,
Other big owners whose horses VIII
gaze upon the Sierra Madre mountains
for the first time this winter are Col.
w. e. Applegate, who has pig @strliig, @
Par Dunne. with a useful lot; George
G, Bennett Of Memphis, whose small
string will be in charge of Trainer i.
Nenner. William Gerts, the Nashville
brewer whose string Of fifteen Is under
the watchful eye of Jim Blute; FREQ
Cook. who probably will operate slate
