Great Son of Friar Rock Pulls
Up Lame After Fast Workout |
and May Have to Be Retired
Permanently.
By Vincent TreanOr.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. "a.
TNCHCAPE, the two year old son of |
Friar Rock, for which Samuel |
Hildreth paid the reported price
of $150.0o0 only about a month ago, |
has gone amiss very seriously. He |
pulled up in bad shape after a fast
work out. He is lame in the off fore
fetloclS and there Is very little
chance Of his being seen at the post
this year. Such lameness is of
course, durable in u race horse, but
all do not respond to treatment. It is
probable that the good colt may have
to be retired permanently Such is
the gamble of buying two year-olds
Of rare promise.
At the time that Hildreth bought
AInchcape from his owner J. H. Roset-
ter, the colt looked the coming cham
pion Of the juvenile division. He was
proclaimed a second Man o. War. He
had won his only two starts in hol-
low fashion, the first a maiden event
at AQueduct and the second the Tre-
mont. No youngster up to then had
| shown such dazzling speed as he pos
sessed and the rich stakes to come
were considered at his mercy, with
visions OF the Hotel Stakes here, the
| Special, the Sanford Memorial, the
| Hopeful and even the Futurity
| Horsemen who marVellcd at the
! record price Hildreth paid for Inch
| cape began to think the colt was not
such a bad bargain after all. Hildreth
shipped him from Long Island to
Saratoga to prepare him for his stake
engagement here, but soon after his
arrival Inchcape contracted the skin
| % hot n1
as was exclusively told in The Eve
ming World some three weeks ago, was
thrown out Of training. He had just
about recovered from this and was
again put to galloping. Yesterday
morning the colt was sent out for q
speed test He seemed to have all
his well known foot, but after show
ing a half mile trial in better than
a seconds, pulled up lame. He ap-
parently had slipped In the soft go
ing which prevailed, or wrenched
himself badly
Edward Sims, whose horses are
, raced under the name of j, w. Nc
Clelland and trained by Kimball Pat
, terson, Is going in for racing on q
bigger scale than ever next season
He has purchased forty-eight acres
of land here on Nelson Avenue, neal
the Saratoga track, in which he pro
poses to lay out a mile track for hi'
private use. There are two or three
/ mansions on the properly now and i
, is probable one or these will be con
creted into a summer home for thu
/ Oil magnate.
