Grooming Full Brother of
Ten Point for Bowie Races

one OF the-moSt prepossesSing z
year-olds at Bennings readying up for
the spring season of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association at
Bowie race track-April 1 to IA inclu-
sive-is a full brother to Ten Point,
favorite three years ago for the Ken
lucky Derby. and one of the most bril-
liant milers developed on American
race tracks in the last quarter of a
century. But this youngster does not
look anything like Ten Point.
Ten Point, which begins stud serv-
ice in Kentucky this spring, was a
sixteen-hand youngster. coarse and
rangy, even before he came to the
races at Laurel in October, 1912. His
juvenile full brother. which patrons
OF the early Maryland races will see
under colors before another month has
passed, is a flfteen-hands one inch colt
short of back. big barreled and heavily
quartered. He is long above the knee,
his hooks are close to the ground and
his slantins shoulders are perfectly
chiseled. About his ankles there is
not so much as a blemish, and An
derson, as shrewd a judge of a .
year-old as can be found in the coun-
try. likes him better than ever he liked
Ten Point.
There are three youngsters all told
In the string of Anderson at BenninR.
which wintered under the eye of Fred
Krafts, the others being a chestnut
son of Eyebrow and Gold Lady and
chestnut son of Jack Point and Raj
ment. The Eyebrow colt. the first son
OF his daddy broken so far is close to
sixteen hands in height and he is pos
sessed of range and power. In contour
and carriage he suggests his giant
sire, which patrons of the Maryland
races Will remember as 3-ycar-
old of high speed and pronounced
weight carrying ability in 1910, that
broke down after his second or third
race. He has been in the stud three
years. The Jack Point Raiment colt
is half brother OF Marjorie A.. and
full brother of Phyllis Antoinette,
and he has the cut of Marjorie A. He
is going to race early
The prospective candidates of the
Anderson stable for the Inaugural
Handicap. seven furlongs, which is to
be the opening day feature at Bowie,
are Star Gift, a black daughter of
Star Shoot and Charlotte c., which
patrons of the Bowie meeting last
spring will remember as a consistent
winner in the smartest company, and
the 3-year-old flly, Renard Star
Gift seems to train sounder as she
grows older. She is without a bIem-
ish this spring and is galloplng spIen-
didly. Speed is the forte of this mare.
but she carries it well enough over a
distance OF ground.
Renard. strapping chestnut for
which Mr.. Anderson turned down an
offer of $1,000 at Gravesend more than
year ago, is the best looking 3-year-
old with the possible exception of
Achievement. at Benning. She stands
more than sixteen hands on her plates
and weighs close to LOO pounds. An
derson believes that she is the bsst
mare OF her age In the country and
ne intends. after the Bowie meeting
to take her TO Kentucky to try for the
Derby at Churchill Downs which Harry
Payne Whitney's Broomstick mare. Re
greet. won last spring In brilliant
fashion. Renard was not run down bv
hard racing last season. She started
only once-at Hamilton in June-and
when she won Anderson and his
friends made The biggest killing of the
season.
For such race as the Kentucky
Derby Renard will need a race or so
in preparation and she will get It az
Bowie. After her initial effort in the
Inaugural Handicap Anderson will
soma her out over distance of ground
with the best that appear at the new
track
The lesser lights of the stable are
Estimable. a brown daughter of Peep
o Day and Estimate: Cy Merrick. a
brown gelding by Peep O. Day out of
Princezzin; Hayden. a 4-year-old BAY
geIding by Peep O. Day out of Gold
Lady. and a 5-year-old maiden by Star
shoot. These will do for races of the
ordinary sort and they will be ready
the first day. Anderson left his horses
mere last fall to the end that they
might get to the post early and KRAFT
has not wasted any of the good
weather of the last two and half
months.
The pari-mutuei ring will be under
the supervision of 'Mortie" Mahonev,
who is considered one of the most
expert men in this line of business in
the country. Mr.. Mahoney has made
many new improvements in the work
ing OF the machines and states that
many of the rough edges that existed
last year have been remedied and will
be working in tip-top shape this sea-
son.
