PACE IN POLO
AFFECTS PONIES

The terrific pace in modern polo Is

HORSE MARKET
HAS ITS HARPIES
Man o. War Could Not Escape
Mud ThroUers.

The "knockers' parliament" was hold
ing day and night sessions last week to
keep up with all the horse auctions In
the local market. It's members let few
offerings go under the hammer without
a coating Of mud boldly thrown by
practiced experts, who knew that some
OF It was sure to stick. If Man o. War
himself were put up for sale these
harpies of the horse market would in
vent some yarn with which to poison the
minds of prospective buyers.
Their motives are many and varied.
Sometimes they have horses Of their
own they hope to sell to the credulous
who listen to their disparaging remarks
about those In the auctions. Or they
may be trying to keep the Bidders off
so that a confederate cen buy the
horse for them without much competl-
ten Again, a personal grudge against
the seller or an Unborn dislike of an
others success may inspire the attack.
Just q covert hint that a horse Is
fifty or has some other hidden vice or
ailment, ard the work Is done. 1t at
fects the highest class Of show horses
~ well as the common drudge and
some of the men who throw the most
mud are very far from being gyps, al
IL Tough their actions seem to put them
In that class.
Experienced buyers never listen to
these mischief makers, because they
knew their ways but the uninitiated
are influenced by them at every auc-
ton sale, to the injury of all concerned.

WHO BRED WINNERS
OF 1920 FUTURITIES?
Rules of Racing and Of TrOt-
ting Turf Are Not in
Accord.

An interesting difference between the
rules and practices OF the trotting turf
and the running turf Is Illustrated by
this years winners of the Kentucky Fu-
turity and the Futurity at Belmont Park.
When Step Lightly scurried home first
in the dash OF three-quarters OF mile
at the Long Island track II was an
nounced that the winner was bred by
Miss Elizabeth Daingerfield OF Lexing-
ton, Ky. The fact was that Miss Dain-
gerfeld bought Step Lightly's dam, Trip
ping, after the mare had been mated
with Ultimus but before the Futurity
winner was foaled. And under the rules
of racing as framed by the Jockey Club
of New York. she was the breeder,
though James w. Corrigan. proprietor
of the Wickliffe Stud and owner OF Step
Lightly's dam when she was bred to Ulti-
mus, would be deemed the breeder II the
filly had been trotter or any other
kind of a horse.
Arion Guy. :o4%. winner of the Ken
lucky Futurity for trotters, was foaled
the property OF c. b. Shaffer of Chicago,
who bought his DAM Margaret Parrish,
2:o6h, after she had been bred to Guy
Axworthy, :OS%. by the late Jacob
Rupert OF Poughkeepsie. In the Amer
lean Trotting Register and In WAL
lace's Year Book" Mr. RUPERT, or his
Hudson River Stock Farm, Is recognized
as the breeder. the rule being that who
ever controls the dam and thus decides
what sire she shall be mated with Is the
one who breeds the resulting foal, no
matter whose property the mare may
happen to be when the colt is born. This
is the almost universal rule among breed
ers Of horses and other domestic animals.
But II Arien Guy were thoroughbred
runner Mr.. Shaffer would be deemed the
breeder.

ENDURANCE TEST
TOO MUCH FOR THEM
Kentucky Thoroughbred Fell
by Woyside in 300 Mile Run.

The cavalry endurance test of 1920
has set horsemen talking about the prob
able cause of The poor showing made by
the twelve thoroughbred runners that
were put In training by Kentucky breed
ers and turfmen last summer for the
3O0-mile road race. Wayne Dinsmore,
secretary OF the Horse Association Of
America, said when In New York last
week. fresh from the scene OF the con-
test. that OF the twelve thoroughbreds
trained only four were ready TO start
when the time came. and of the four
that left Fort Ethan Allen on Monday
only one remained in at the finish. He
was not among the six horses placed,
but would have been placed ninth, Mr..
Dinsmore said, n there had been that
many prizes for the Judges TO distribute.
Dash races NJ constantly decreasing
distances. with a steadily increasing
number for 2-year- olds are blamed by
a great many horsemen for the apparent
lack OF rugged, robust character and
weight carrying capacity In the modern
thoroughbred.
Though the clean bred race horses
failed conspicuously II was an army
horse by n thoroughbred sire. out OF an
unregistered mare that received first
prize. This is the formula usually fol-
lowed in breeding hunters, the dam being
selected to supply the bone, substance,
short legs. cool head and rugged consti-
tuition. while the sire is counted on for
quality or fineness of fibre, and FOR
courage. speed and all around agility.
