IN hand Tor Jogging ana training
purposes the Peter Lotus FLY (2),
by Alto Dewey.
This is a larger and more highly bred
stable Of trotting and pacing prospects
than the silent man has ever had I'M
der his control at one time, and, in the
matter Of breeding, stable such as never
before was gathered together under the
shadow of the dome OF the National
Capital 1t is highly probable that within
the next sixty days Corbin will also have
in hand Berka. 2:141-4, by Bingara, Al
cyne, 2:l1 Is, by Red Medium, 2:23 IA.
and Koroni 90, by KavaIIi, 2:7 "a. With
so much highly bred material ready at
hand, some of which has already been
tested and not found wanting, Corbin is
liable to be in the limelight during the
coming summer to a larger extent than
any other trainer in this section. He Will
not only be in the TmeHght, but he will
be expected to make good.
While it is much too soon to prophesy
with safety, it now looks as If the sum-
mer of 1913 would be a notable one for
the National Capital in the matter Of
light harness sport. In addition to the
horses already noted that are expected
number of two and three-year-ol to be
developed, owned by different gentlemen
who are residents of the District, or who
live in close proximity TO Washington.
Javfns brothers should have at their
breeding plant, at Calesville, Montgomery
County, quite bunch of youngsters that
must be broken and developed IL they ex-
pect to sell at remunerative prices. Some
OF them, doubtless. will be candidates
TO- LII
futurities. There is every prospect now
that the futurities Will go through with
q rush. Owners Of youngsters are pleas
ed with the idea, and when it is well IN
der way, public interest in the scheme is
sure TO increase.
But little has been said. thus far, in
regard to the three-year-old futurity
stakes. They should easily fill. The first
payment is only so, due January q the
second, SIS, due April 1; the third, So
July 1, and the final payment on the day
Of the race, the amount to be agreed
upon by owners of candidates as soon
as possible after the entries close Janu-
airy ?, 1913. No one owning a well bred
trotting youngster eligible either to the
two-year-old or three-year-old stakes can
afford to ignore them. Owners of young
sters entered will be able to get a line |
on what they have, and, thereby, save
expense Of keep and anxiety of mind. |
January 2 will soon arrive and those
owning eligibles should get in line at
once.
Hugh Guy, who has long been the lead |
ing colored breeder of light harness
horses in this section, is thinking Of |
closing out some of his horse holdings |
1t can be said in praise of Mr.. Guy that |
when he began to breed he began right. |
He selected as a broodnare Selika Han |
son, standard and registered, by Monoc- |
acy, 2:15 "a. out of Mariposa (sister of |
Artillera), by Artillier $50, record 2:21, a |
son OF HswbIetonian 10 Selika Han
sons second dam was Lulu, by TattIer,
jr, 1858, and he by Tattler, 800, and her
third dam was a daughter Of HANDLE |
tonian. 572, out of a daughter of a son |
of Prize Fighter, who, We believe, was
running bred.
Mr.. Guy has two very handsome straw
berry roam FLIES by KinsIer, PA "a, dam
Selekt Hanson. One is five years old and |
the other six; both are close to 15.2 hands, |
the fashionable size; both are broken to |
drive single and double (they having been
broken by the celebrated Reddick But !
ton, assistant trainer at Pleasant Fields
Stock Farm, Germantown, Montgomery
County,, and each filly has a striking |
way OF going at the trot. Neither FLY |
has been developed, but Mr.. c. C. Wat
ers, owner Of Pleasant Fields, says that /
they are Kinster gated and that means
they are gated to go fast The fillies
are now ready to be put to work either
on the road or track They are not only
strictly standard bred. but are decidedly |
handsome individuals upheaded and of
excellent disposition. They were foaled1
at Pleasant Fields and are now there, |
where they can be seen by intending
purchasers.
