VERY few do.
And many Of the stables have consider
ably more than 40 horses. The Whitney sta
bles have held from rs to 200 horses at one
time Harry Sinclair had, at least year or
20 ago, some 21O, which even on a farm ran
up cost Of more than 81 900 day for main
tenance.
Even the famous Earl Sande tried to Oper-
ate his own stable ut one time but found he
couldn't make it CO. So he returned to riding
Now and then the stables do show a profit
The 1928 record price of $4,000 went to a
colt of Whiskbroom II, and Harry Sinclair
did very well that year when his great horse
zev beat Papyrus in the international race at
Belmont This amazing performer brought to
the Rancocas stables some $450,000.
But, however you figure the various win
nings, it remains a losing game. Statistics
show that for every $75O,0O0 which changes
hands at the Saratoga paddock sales an amaz-
ingly small percentage ever comes back to the
pockets which put it out.
But how about the betting, you naturally ask.
Believe it or not, an extraordinarily small
amount Is ever wagered by the millionaireS who
send their favoriteS to the posts. The wager
ing is left to the grandstand crowds. Whitney,
for instance, rarely backs his own mounts.
The same goes for Widener, Hartman, Mar
shall Field and the rest. When bets are made
they are generally small that little difference
is made one way or the other. There have, to
be sure been a few individual violations of this
unwritten rule-but not many.
Their thrill does not come, it does with
the crowd, from having money up on certain
horses They are content with the thrill of
seeing their stable colors bring home silver
cup, purse and huge horseshoe of flowers.

Then the upkeep Each horse Is maintained
at about $50 day. It can be estimated that
aozne 20 horses would involve an overhead cost
of about $4,000 O. more. This Is just the
stable cost and does not include entrance fees,
trainers, jockeys and all the rest.
private jockey Of high standing Is worth
about $4,000 or more a year, and Laverne
Fator, for instance, brings $4,000 and better.
A private trainer Is another item. At the end
of o season the stable has involved an invest
ment of more than 100000. This means that,
TO break even, the horses must bring back some
of the latest stakes OF the year.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-13

TT is from this latter source that a consid-
cradle income Is built and some return on
the huge investment realized
During the past racing season, for instance,
the Whitney farm sold about Is yearlings at
a price Of $3.50, 900. The Wheatley stables were
the chief buyers. Another big buyer was the
Warm Stables" which is relatively new to
the race world, backed by Silas Masons money.
Three Of the horses in this latter purchase
were Victorian, which made neat name; Cady
Hill and The Nut. Before the year had ended
Whitney had some real cause to realize the
calber of horses from his own farm, for The
Nut beat Whitneys own favorite, Beacon Hnl,
in the Realization Stakes race 1t is figured
that Whitneys racing and breeding invest
ment would undoubtedly reach close to $lO..
600 900.

The jockey role of honor belongs over q

sons of the year eggs are scarce and
high, and souffle depends for its spe-

ever, the hens begin to lay actively
again, and in February and March In
