HOPEFUL VIEW OF
TURF SITUATION
John e. M adden Tells Kentucky
Breeders They Need Have
No Fear for Future

Many of the owners who raced at
Emeryville have decided to rest up their
horses until fall instead of taking in
the meetings that comprise the summer
circuit. Dave Henry, who met with
considerable success during the last
month or two, wifi remain at the Oak
land track William st. Vincent sent
two of his string to Salt Lake, and the
others will be turned out near Los An
geles. Joseph Tigue, James Neil and
William Ashe are among those who will
ship to farm near Santa Rosa.
Sam Shaen and other employees of
George Rose will leave tomorrow for
Salt Lake, where they will quote prices.
Rose will start next week, and If the
game at the Utah track is satisfactory
he will remain there instead of going
to New York as is his custom.
Nealon, a winner of the Suburban
handicap and other events, arrived at
Louisville a few days ago, en- route to
the farm of Barney Schneider near st.
Louis. The horse that showed such
brilliant form at Emeryville and on
tracks throughout the country will be
retired to the stud.
John f. Madden, one of the leading
turfmen of the country takes a hopeful
view of the future of the turf, judging
requests from various Kentucky breed
ers. The telegram was addressed to
Colonel Milton Young, and is as follows:
Say to breeders of Kentucky who
have yearlings to offer in June
sales at Sheepshead Bay to have no
fear. There will be demand for
them at fair prices.
The only way Governor Hughes
can stop the Improvement of the
breed of horses is to pass a bill at
his special session on June 20 to
prohibit the breeding of horses.
AS racing is now conducted in the
state of New York it is not depend
ent upon book making and pool
selling. The laws just passed were
unnecessary and did not represent
the will of the people.
Garrity & Dunlap, who raced at
Emeryville early in the season and later
left for Juarez, will be at Salt Lake
City. They shipped from Louisville.
Among the foals at the Nursery stud
Of August Belmont are 16 by Rock
Sand the horse for which Belmont paid
s125,000 in England after he had dis
played such brilliant form. Two of the
youngsters by the great horse are re-
lated to performers well known, here
There is half brother to Madman and
a half sister to Lord of the Forest.
Sydney Dickson, who formerly rode
on eastern tracks, is training and rid
ing horses in British Guinea. He was
recently hurt in race and took advan-
tage of the enforced vacation to go to
New York to buy horses. At George
town Dickson rode five winners and
three seconds in day. He reports that
Saylor, formerly a well known selling
platter on the metropolitan tracks, is
one of the most consistent performers
in South America.
Jockey Shilling incurred the displeas-
ure of Starter Cassidy at Grayesend
Wednesday and was given week on
the ground.
William Murray was engaged to do
the starting at Latonia when Jake
Hoffman declined to serve.
After Fitzherbertt had carried tbe
Hildreth colors to victory in the Brook
lyn handicap last week John Madden
said he was inclined to the opinion
that the son of Ethelbert is the great
est racer in the world and that he
would like TO see him meet Bayardo
at mile and quarter with stake
weights up. Madden remarked that
had he foreseen the victory of Fitz-
herbert he would not have sold him
back to Hildreth. Jack Joyner Doubt
less regrets that he ever parted with
Fitzherbert. He sold the horse to Her
man Brandt for $4,000 in July. 1905.
Brandt disposed of him to Madden and
Hildreth for $4,000 and later Hildreth
bought the interest held by the Ken
lucky turfman- Madden says that
Fitzherbert is worth s150,000
While the Brooklyn handicap was
worth only $4,000 this year the victory
of Fitzherbert was very gratifying to
Hildreth and he has strong hopes of
winning the Suburban June II.
