$4,000 Yearling Colt by I'm
ported Toddington Vindi-
Gates Efforts

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, Aug. II.
When the yearling colt by imported
Toddington out of Understudy, by i'm
ported Star Ruby, was knocked down to
Walter NJ. Jeffords, of Philadelphia, at
the Powers Hunter sale here on
Wednesday last for $4,000 inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the colts sire is
now a member of the Jockey Club
Breeding Bureau, and is stationed in
Pennsylvania, near the city OF PITTS
burgh.
Il is through the distribution of such
stations as Toddington, not only in the
Empire State but throughout the entire
East. that the parent racing body OF the
United States is doing a service which
is going to mean a greatly improved
common hose product wherever the in
fluence of the thoroughbred is felt. For
many years the Jockey Clubs activi-
ties in the line of breeding were con-
fined to this state, and the premiums
for foals by their sires are offered at
the county fairs of New York only. so
promising have the results obtained
been, however, that, yielding to a call,
it was deemed an obligation to render
aid to communities in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia.
Secures Good Canadian Blood
It is confidently expected by Frank
X. Sturgis, the chairman OF the Breed
ing Bureau of the Jockey Club, that the
success which has been achieved in the
Genesee Valley, chiefly through the CO.
operation of the Genesee Valley Breed
ers' Association, will be duplicated in
other districts in New York State and
elsewhere. More than two hundred
mares have been bred in the region sur
rounding Avon, which is the headquar-
tiers of the Breeders Association, and
the number of good matrons in that
splendid grazing country has lately
been increased by purchases in Canada,
where the thoroughbred has long been
recognized as the most potent factor in
the improvement of all breeds of
horses.
The recent acquisitions were secured
in Western Ontario, between London
and Ridgetown, and were financed joint
ly by the Breeding Bureau and the
Genesee Valley Breeders Association.
They are mainly half-breds by such
horses as Tupelo, Farthing and Philoso-
ply, though one three-year-old is a
daughter of Bassetlaw, an imported
horse by st. Simon. This FLY, which
is out of My Maryland, by Bramble,
stands 16.1 hands, and weighed l,150
pounds in racing condition, was secured
at Fort Erie racetrack, and she should
found a family of heavyweight hunters
in the Genesee Valley.
