There are more than 80 now and they include Reign Count. short odds favorite to win the Ken lucky Derby. and Anita Peabody. foaled on the farm. last years ranking two-year old, whose fleet legs won s114,ooo for her owner.
 Mrs. Hertz gets thrill out Of her horses, but she says she gets a. greater thrill out Of watching the career Of her husband, who founded the Yellow Cab Co.,, and its its president.
 She calls herself the "caboose" Of the family. I'm always travelling many journeys or after my children who drag me into their many in terests" she said.
 The Hertz estate is paradise Of rippling brooks and miniature lakes, where rainbow trout splash in free dom. The barns are steam heated, electric lighted and neatly tan- harked.
 All the Hertzes love horses All ride and are enthusiastic over the breeding Of thoroughbreds. Mrs. Hertz early learned the art of rid ing we'll and today ia an ardent polo player. Three or four polo grounds and many miles of pictur- esque bride paths have been laid out on the estate.
