Last season Billy Kelly. Eternal and War
Pennant stood out as great youngsters
and made a thousand others look like
platers. This season II is different.
While Samuel Riddles Man o. War holds
a tight grip on the championship there
are at least a score which are good
enough to warrant the belief that they
win beat him II the great son of Fair
Play goes a wee bit of his form or

naerdous speed in public or prs<ata trials

Man o. War an Unwhipped Colt.
All of these are royalty bred and
have shown both speed and stamina and
the trainer Of each is confident his
charge or charges will give Man o. wa-
hard fight for stellar honors before
the end of the season.
While each Of these has a host of
friends there are no racegoers who
will deny that Man o. War is a great
colt. In the opinion Of most men here
he Is not only speed marvel but
he can carry weight and travel dis
lance. According to form they could
have no other opinion. The handsome
chestnut has started six times and each
time defeated his field with ridiculous
case. He has not been touched by
either whip or spur yet and both Mr..
Riddle and Louis Feustel. his trainer.
predict he will go through the season
an unwhipped colt
That he Is q valuable horse was made
evident a few days ago when Montford
Jones offered $4,000 for him. Mr..
Riddle turned down this offer with the
terse reply that he is not for sale and
when pressed. ended the discussion by
! saying he was locked up In his barn
and might Just as well be in jail so
fAy az any one else had chance Of
! gstting him.
| Golden Broom Another Fast Colt.
m Golden Broom Mrs. Jefrords has
What most horsemen say is Man O.
Wars worthiest rival. He is a big.
gtrapping colt by Sweeper and Zuna and
~ Av.I ufoN
mans horse. But It is a question of
whether or not he can handle weight
as well as Mr.. Riddles champion.
Golden Broom Is a royalty bred young
ster and cost Mrs. Jefford's S15,600
last year as yearling.
He started only once and in that race
displayed a marvellous tusn of speed,
but ran out on the turn and after run
ming a sixteenth of a mile more than
his opponents finished only a few yards
behind the winner. He suffered from
quarter cracks this spring, but Michael
DAILY, his trainer. says he is now In per-
feet condition and that his injured hoofs
will not hurt him again.
Bonnie Mary has shown her worth
She had carried weight and won sew
eral stakes She also has been defeated,
but each time she was beaten she met
With bad racing luck, and William Ho-
gan. who trains her. declares she will
beat any mans horse with an even break
In luck.
Harry Payne whitney's best colts are
Upset and Wildair. They have run some
impressive races, but they have been
beaten, and It Is In his filiies that James
Rowe and Albert Simons place hopes OF
beating Mr.. Biddles champion
q BrookhoIt Lacks Courage.
Brookholt. which was bred by John e.
Madden, Is as fast a horse as ever looked
through n bride, but there Is a question
Of whether or not he possesses the cour-
age of a champion. He is improving
every day and may show to better ad-
vantage in the stakes to come
Bersagliere is tremendously fast
yeungster and great things are expected
of him. In Mr.. Cochran,s training track
at Mount Kisco he is said to have
stepped half-mile in A seconds. He
started once but showed nothing. After
the contest he pulled up lame, but his
injury is not serious and he is likely to
come back to the races In a few days
and spring a sensation.
Hasten On Is the pride of Mr.. McClel-
lands stable. He has started twice and
In each race showed speed and stamina
Of the highest class. He won his first
race in a canter and in the second finished
second after being almost knocked down
as soon as the barrier went up. KIM
ball Patterson is exceptionally fond OF
him and believes he will come mighty
close TO earning the title.
The Western stars. Miss Jemima. Dis.
tinction, High Command and BY Golly
are youngsters OF exceptionally fine
looks and plenty OF speed.
Miss Jemima shows Glass.
Miss Jemima has started twice In the
East. once at Empire City and once
Aere. and in each ran impressively. Al
the Yonkers track she didn't beat much
and didn't accomplish her task like o
champion should. but that was because
she was suffering from a sore mouth
me loss Of two teeth and fatigue from
standing IN a railroad train three hours
before the race. Her race here was dis
tlnctly high class and there are a host OF
veteran horsemon who say that only the
great Man o. War IS her superior.
High Command and Distinction have
not donned colors In the East. but they
come here with reputation OF beins
world beaters. Major Mcdowell Is sweet
on both OF them, and he knows a gooc
horse when he sees one. BY Golly started
once at the track here. but he failed Il
ahcw enough speed to warrant the BELLE
that he Is a dangerous rival for the title
u. r. Bradley says he will IMPROVE over
that race and predicts he will beat mos
Of the Eastern stars before tho - Of
me present meeting.
