Kpplegate Will
Race on Very
Large Scale
Well Known Tarfman Will Have
Much Young Material in His
String Next Winter

Colonel w z. Applegate, whose
colors are seen every season at Emery
vile, is planning to race on an ex-
tensive scale next winter and he viii
have much young material in his
string. Eighteen yearlings owned by
Applegate have arrived at the Lexing-
ton track from the farm of John d.
Carr, and the youngsters have been
placed in the hands of James p. Ross
and John Rodegap, each taking nine
to break and train. Colonel Applegate
left the selection to the two trainers,
who decided to toss for first choice.
Ross won and picked colt by McGee
from Frou Frou by Meddler, for which
Applegate paid $500 at Edward Corri-
gan's dispersal sale last fall. He is
the best locker and considered the star
of the 49, There is half brother to
Wool Sandals in the lot. Among the
sires represented are Cesarion, In
spector b, Sempronius and Laekford.
John Rodegap has taken charge of
the four yearlings in which Walter
Jennings recently purchased a half in
terest from Catesby Woodford.
william NJ Caine was the principal
Victoria meeting. He had $1,000 to
his credit in purses won by his horses.
G. Archibald led the Jockeys with 81
victories to his credit. The leading
money winner among the horses was
Barney Oldfield, with S1,495.
T. H. Stevens, who brought out clever
distance runners to the coast in recent
years, has a good performer in Azo.
The horse won a two mile race in easy
style at Windsor and reduced the track
record from 3:31 to 1923 2-5.
William Walker lost Centre Shot out
of selling race and a report that he
had a representative on hand to bid
her up caused her new owner to with
draw her from the Pontchartrain sell
ing stakes at Windsor
1t is not expected that Ocean Bound
will be able to start in the Futurity,
as her knees are in bad shape. She
may be reserved for the filly end of the
Matron stake at Belmont park later IN
the fall.
OF the yearlings disposed of at auc-
ton at Newmarket last year by j. b.
Haggin, the highest price was brought
by brown filly by Watercress- -Gualala.
Saunders Davies paid LOO guineas for
her She made her first appearance re-
Gently in the Burton maiden plate at
Birmingham under the name of YVonne
de Fevroles and won from a clever
field of year olds.
Chicago" O'Brien lost a small for
tune betting on Glennadeane, the Cali
fornia bred filly in his string, but 1t is
said he failed to bet on her when
she won at Saratoga last week. al
though the layers were hit hard on her
victory.
The most important development to
mark the regeneration of racing in the
east is the receipt of 40 entries made
by Harry Payne Whitney to the stakes
of the Saratoga association for 1910
and 1911. This is taken as evidence
that Whitney intends to resume racing
in this country on a large scale, and
not to devote his attention to the sport
in England entirely.
Richard T. Wilson has purchased all
the yearlings owned by John f. Mad
den and he will have one of the best
stables in the country next year There
will be more 2 year olds than in any
other string with the exception of
those owned by James r. Keene and
August Belmont.
