with leading the list of winning own
/ ers with S152,645. Novelty. the cham
pion 2yearold, earned $72.6SO. which
{ greatly assisted in placing Hildreth IN
first position.
! It's a tsrange freak Of turf lore that
! his peerless colt was in a position
! whereby he could have changed the
winning list about so that either OF
/ three owners could have ended the
season at the head of the column. Nov
city was bred by James R. Keene at
Castleton stud, sold as a yearling to
John E. Madden and disposed of in the
early part of last year by Madden to
| HIldreth.
The Little Word "If."
Now here is how the little word IF
cuts so prominent a figure. If Keene
! had retained Novelty his winnings
would have amounted to S134,02O in
stead of s61,S90, and naturally Hill
dreth would have only won sS0,O15.
This would have put the veteran turf
man first without any contention If
Madden had kept Novelty in the
barn he would have topped the list with
sS2.S30. This is. one Of the many in
stances connected with the racing
game which proves that the sport is
one Of the most tickle in the world
Naushon Won Over $4,000.
Naushon is another 2yearOld which
had something to do with the placing
of the winning owners This colt raced
in the colors of r T Wilson last sea-
son and won S25,S75, which gave Will
son second place in the list with earn
ings of 1890 Naushon was one of the
many yearlings sold to Wilson by Mad
den and proved to be a sterling young
racer as his record proves. If Madden
had not disposed of Naushon to VIII
son and also retained Novelty he would
have wound up the season with burst
of glory and s9S,505 added to his bank
account.
Why Madden Sells.
It was not that Madden did not know
what classy colts Novelty and Naushcn
would be that induced him TO sell the
pair Far from it. Madden is more of
when he develops high class racer he
is always willing to let go at his fig
ure-
Through these methods Madden has
amassed a big fortune and also has the
reputation of being one Of the great
est breeders of thoroughbreds in the
country. As the Wizard of the Turf
not to race" At the same time he has
number of classy runners wearing
his silks. but there is always price
on them and when the proper figure is
reached the sale is consummated.
Within the past few years many OF
the thoroughbreds sired at Hamburg
place have established themselves as
winners on the eastern turf. Last sea-
son Naushon and Onager won innu-
merable races for Wilson thereby add
ing to the reputation of Madden's farm.
In the previous season King James and
Joe Madden, two star bred at Ham
burg place, gathered in a fortune for
Hildreth.
Dope That Was Correct
Reverting to the sale of Novelty by
Madden to Hildreth, the famous breed
er remarked when Hildreth obtained
the colt that he had bought the Fu-
paddock at Belmont Madden predicted
that Novelty would sweep away all
connection in the 2yearold division.
That his dope was correct is shown.
when the game colt captured the blue
ribbon event at Saratoga The victory
brought $4,000 to his excheqUer, for
in the terms Of the sale Madden stipu-
lated that so percent of the Futurity
purse would be his, providing Novelty
won. 1t was really a case of Madden
stalking $4,000 on his Judgment When
he collected what may be termed his
wager, the turf world was convinced
that Madden was still the same old
wizard
This season another batch of young
sters from Hamburg place will carry
the Wilson colors and, according to-
their breeder, there are a few more
Naushons and Onagers In the bunch
Time alone will tell
