night last week when the Teddy
yearlings were sold at Saratoga
was a gala night. Everyone
was there in their best bib and
tucker" and right on time, for
there were many that were 60
ing to bid. The place was
packed, all eager and interested.
These yearlings surpassed
even what was expected of them.
It was by far the most exciting
sale there this year. They
brought collectively and indi-
vidually the highest prices of
the season so far. Horse peo-
pie of this section are delighted
that their favorites' offsprings
brought what was expected of
them.
The IS yearlings sold aver
aged $2,740 each and the best
individual price was $11,500, be-
ing the highest price a colt has
brought at the Spa this season.
These yearlings were bought by
owners of the best race horse
establishments in America, so
Teddy's first crop of American
bred yearlings have been very
we'll distributed. The $11,500
colt, bay out of SuperStitious,
who was by Superman, is the
colt that won at the Uppervllle
Horse and Colt Show in June
in a large class of yearlingS
(some of the very best in the
country. This class and the
beauty of the winner were the
talk of the country for days at
that time and now this famous
colt has been bought by Calu-
met Farms, the stable of Mr..
Warren Wright, of Kentucky,
and will be watched with great
interest until he appears on the
track next year.
The next highest priced colt
was bought by Mr.. John Hay
Whitney at $1,000, a chestnut,
out of Flying WhiSk, who was
by Pennant. Jock Whitney and
his trainer, Jim Healey, are de-
lighted with this purchase. Jock
also bought a chestnut fiIly by
Teddy out of Simmy by Neil
Cow for $500.
The next highest priced colt,
a very dark bay or brown colt
out of Star Emerald, who was
by Sun Star, was bought by
Brookmeade stables. Mrs. Sloan,
the owner of this stable says
that she wouldn't take anything
for the youngster and expects
great things of him. These last
three colts mentioned will come
back to Virginia to the farms
of their present owners, not far
from where they were bred and
born, so all of us Gn a way horse
people have) will feel that we
own part of them and they
will be followed with keen in
terest from the highest to the
lowest of those interested in
Teddy's yearlings. Calumet
Farms bought another, the
next highest priced on the list,
a chestnut colt by Sunmelia,
who was out of Sun Briar. This
one brought $500.
Capt. Philip M. Walker
bought a chestnut colt out of

John M. Hawkins, Mr.. Gil
pins stable manager, who has
taken care of Teddy ever since
he was brought to America,
says: MY pick of these year.
lings since they were all foaled,
is the chestnut colt out of the
Sun Briar mare that Calumet
Farms got. Take what Teddy
has done and what Sun Briar
has done and I would say he is
the best of the bunch. But. of
course, I don't know how race
horse men figure it out" and
with great pride in his voice he
said: Il was at the sale at Sara
toga, and when they put the
Superman mares colt up people
who have been going to those
sales for years and years
CLAIMED he was the best look
ing colt that ever went in the
ring for sale at Saratoga. So I
reckon that's what made him
bring the biggest price"
John IaWkins said Brooke.
meade Stable and Mr.. Joe E.
Widener were high bidders on
this colt also. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kenneth Gilpin are returning
