several likely looking ones by Cunard
and colt, which is a beauty, by the
great Rocksand. Unfortunately this
youngster is not in the Breeders fu-
turity at Lexington, as he has all the
earmarks Of conner. However, he has
been named to start in several Of the
two-year-old stakes at Churchill Downs,
Douglas Park and at Latonia. Bradley
has refused $4,000 for this youngster,
but wants to race him and then place
him at the head of Idle Hour stud.
Bushy Head Looks Good.
There is another youngster in the
Bradley outfit called Bus6y Head, by
Cunard out of Miss Ringlet, which
looks like good colt. He has shown
splendid performances in private trials
and the railbirds are preparing to
shoot their slender bankrolls at this

full share Of stamina and showed great
promise of being sire equal to that

Countless with great success in the
east, was anxious to race some of his
offspring, but the noted performer
died before being placed in the stud.
Another horse of note which died this
spring was old Donau, an cratic SON
+, of Imp Woolsthorpe. Donau won the
Kentucky derby in 1910 for William
Gerst, the Nashville brewer, but later
became SO spiteful that he was gelded.
! Later he became still worse and was
kept on the schooling list most of the
time by Mars Cassidy, who handled the
barrier in Kentucky during the past
few meetings.

Canadian, has one that is liable to up
set all calculations. His entry ia the
Igood colt, Buckhorn, which bent all tho
good ones last fall Buckhorn is in
good shape and will account for his
