Fort Hunter, the Canadian Derby win
ner of 1904, now the fayorite mount
of Major General Leonard Wood, sem
Tor field officer of the United States
Army, and she has been winning races
since 1910. Mr.. Sanford did not sell
her last fall when he disposed by pub
lie auction of most Of the horses that
had been bearing his purple and gold
jacket for two or three seasons, be-
cause he wants her for breeding.
The two-year-olds of last season
which will race as three-year-olds this
year hardly had fair chance 70 show
their real merit. Mr.. and Mrs. Sanford
were in Europe throughout last sum-
mer, and Il. J. Albright had no oppor-
tunity to get Their. ready at the farm
for racing with the youngsters that
had been hardened by campaigning
throughout the spring and early sum-
mer on the metropolitan tracks. There
is a possibility, therefore, that there
are one or two horses Of the first class
among them. and they are none the
worse for not having had hard racing
as two-yearOlds.
Promising Three-year-olds.
Quartz, Rupica and Silica each
showed speed and ability to carry it IN
both fast and heavy going. There was
a deal of heavy going at Saratoga last

American tracks in the course of the
last six or seven years.
Rockville, one of the keen contenders
in the Futurty of 1910, which the fol-
lowing season was sold by General
Sanford TO Joseph +. Seagram. OF To-
ronto, is her full brother. Herkimer, a
first rate miller in 1909 and 1910. was
her half brother. Isidora, one OF the
Cleverest FLIES that has borne the
colors OF Captain Philip NJ. Walker for
three seasons, is a half sister. Silica
will be the Sanford representative in
the Alabama Stakes. Saratoga's best
special for three-year-old tillies.
Quart and Rupica are smarter look
ers than the run of the Rocktors
They are closer coupled and stronger
ribbed; their muscular development is
even and they stand on soundest OF
legs. These colts were altered last sea
son, in the hope that they might not
develop a tendency to washiness. which
has, unfortunately. been a distinguish
ing Characteristic of the Rocktons.
The treatment seems TO have been
timely and effective. They are even
tempered geldings now, with excellent
appetites. and they are taking on
weight, as three-year-olds should over
winter.
Quartz and Rupics will be the Hurri-
cana representatives in the Saratoga
Handicap, the Saratoga Cup and the
Travers Stakes. the upstate tracks

Mr.. Sanford has taken subscriptions
in both the Saratoga Special IA race

1905 from Voorhees, and the Saratoga
Grab Bag Handicap, but he has not
picked the youngsters that will bear
his colors in those sportsmanlike
events. He will not have to make his
choices until his trainer has had an op-
portunity TO try his twO-year-olds out
next spring over the track at Hurrl-
cana Farm.
The smartest Of his youngsters on
last seasons trials were the colt Ser

Servillian is shortbacked chestnut,

racer all over, and will stand l. hands

wards of 1000 pounds when he comes
10 the post. He is just the sort o.
colt Mr.. Sanford has been expecting Isl.
