FOR RACING ABROAD
Statistics Show Turf Enjoyed
Prosperity in Foreign
Countries in 1919.

NEW YORK. January 17-Reports
from various foreign countries indi-
cate that racing was one of the first
of the many sports to swing into its
stride again within a few months
after the signing of the armistice.
Records and statistics gathered from
numerous sources at the close OF the
1919 turf sea son attest the fact that
and prospects favor still greater
revival during the coming year.
Lord Glanely. who heads the list OF
winning owners on the English turf
for the season of 1919, purchased the
derby winner Grand Parade as a
foal for 420 guineas. Lord Glanely's
good fortune in securing such a Won
derful foal for so small a sum eN-
tended in other directions, as his run
of luck was remarkable. His coiors
were frequently seen in front at the
finish in many races for platers and
stake horses at all sorts of meetings.
Besides his de by victor. which has
been retired to the stud. minion.
Scotwell Grand Fleet, Skyrocket, the
Midshipmite and others of less cali
ber were winners of forty-two events.
while his filly, Bright. Folly. was one
of the best of her sex in the two
year-old division. Lord Glanely's
winnings. in purses alone. through
out the season exceeded 10000 ($150-
000).
King George Won $c2.OOO.

Donoghue headed the list of English
professional jockeys last year. During
the season this popular rider won 1a9
races out of 532. He finished second l07
times. scored 20 thirds and rode un-
placed in 223 contests. Unlike many
other jockeys. Donoghue does not find
any difficulty in keeping his weight
down; in fact. he scaled as low as lOl
pounds in some of the midsummer races.
He rides as a free lance. and his serv-
ices are in great demand. Donoghue'S
winning average is not quite good as
that of the Australian. Il. Carslake. but
the latter rode less frequently, scoring
l06 winning brackets out OF 32S starts.
Great season in Ireland.
According to Irish racing statistics.
the 1919 season was the most successful
in the Emerald Isles turf history. Never
before had so much added money been
given for pursed and plate at the differ
ent race meetings throughout the coun-
try. The list of winning owners, how
ever. was headed by an English owner
of thoroughbreds, w. Parrish. who
maintains extensive racing quarters at
the Curragh of Vildare. Fourteen OF the
Parrish horses won twenty-four events.

Among the Irish trainers J. J. Parkin-
son was easily the most successful, as
thirty-four of the animals he saddled
finished in front in fifty-six events.
Parkinson at one time was closely iden-
titled with the care OF Richard Crokers
racers both in Ireland and England.
Joseph Canty, who rides equally well
over the jumps and on the fiat, led the
Irish jockeys by winning sixty-five
races Cleaning, an Australian bred
geldng, owned by a New Zealand turf
patron. is credited with having won
over 900 since he began racing as
two year-old in 1917. AS a three-year-
old Cleaning won several stakes, in
Guiding the Australian Jockey Club
derby, the New Zealand derby and Great
Northern derby, and last year he was
first in three events of a cash value OF
over $1,000.
The betting sheds on the Berlin race
tracks handled 200, 100000 marks during
the season just ended, which comprised
sixty-seven days. The bulk of the bet
ting was on the running races.
