george w Langdon, who some months
ago married the widow Of the late Gaze
sar Young, has arrived from New York.
accompanied by his bride They came
west to arrange for the shipment to
Kentucky of Cunard, st. Avoncus and
the mares, yearlings and weanlings in
which +. r. Bradley recently purchased
half interest They are now at the
farm near Sacramento, and within a
week Will start for Idle Hour, the Ken
lucky establishment of BRADLEY.
Inc hne showing made by Cunard as
sire has attracted much attention
throughout the country, and Bradley
was among the turfmen who became
interested in the horse that formerly
carried the colors of Green B. Morris on
local and eastern tracks. There are no
stations at Idle Hour, but Bradley
owns high class mares Cunard has
had only limited opportunity out here
and Langdon said yesterday at the ST.
francis that the principal reason for
sendlng him TO Kentucky was to give
him better chance in the stud.
The shipment will consist of about
80 head, including four yearlings and
II Weanlings. Several of the mares
owned by Mrs. Langdon will be left at
H..
Langdon gives a good report of rae
ing conditions on the metropolitan
tracks In speaking of the situation
he said:
The racing season on the New York
tracks is success and the people are
turning out to witness the sport, ire
spective of betting The oral system
of betting is working nicely. and there
is no interference on the part of the
ar troa l. oli IL. Al.
layers keep within the limits of the
law. Men who handle money have been
put off the tracks, but there is no
trouble when wagers are made on credit
and records made at the time.
Horses from California have more
than held their own on the New York
tracks. Although Bedwell had much
success at Yonkers he should have done
even better as some of his horses suf-
fered bad racing luck Racing condi-
lions are rapidly improving in New
York and turfmen throughout the coun-
try hope to see the sport continue to
thrive in California"
Langdon made many friends during
his stay here last winter. He and his
wife are receiving the best wishes of
many friends.
Joe Rose planned to leave New York
for Europe last Thursday. He will be
away five weeks. The California layer
did not quote prices on the eastern
tracks, but played the game from the
ground with success. The members of
his crew are on the Canadian circuit
with Frank Eckert.
George Rose, Tom Shaw and William
Cowen are again the heaviest opera
tors among the layers in New York
They handle very large commissions
from well known plungers.
c. L. Harrison. who owns Waldo
winner of the Flash stake and Saratoga
Special has refused an offer of 25,000
according TO George Langdon. The colt
has shown that he is the best youngster
racing in the east Langdon says that
b. L. Marks valued Turret low when
he put a price of $500 on him. He
regards Turret as a better colt than
Waldo and looks for him to beat the
best in the country if he is sent east
next year. Langdon saw Turret at
Sacramento, where he had been taken
up by 'Daggie" Smith.
