Disappointment Of 1889
Not to Be Overlooked

These horses-and the others
listed here-had their disappointing
days. For some-notably Tech
nician, Heather Broom, Porter's
Mite and Volitant-it was a dis
appointing year.
Technician, winner of the Fla
mingo Stakes at Hialeah, was liked
by many in the Kentucky Derby, but
failed there and didn't win an i'm
portant race thereafter, much to the
chagrin of his owner, Herbert Woolf,
who had won the Derby with Law
rim the year before.
Jock Whitney's Heather Broom
Just missed being top-flight colt,
winning some minor races, but fin
tshing third in the Derby and fourth
in the Arlington Classic.
Bill Boeing's Porter's Mite, one of
the very best of the 2-year- -olds in
1888, faded as 3-year-old.
George Bulls Volitant, like Heath
er Broom, just missed. He was
second to Technician in the Fla
mingo, second to Johnstown in the
Wood Memorial, third to Challedon
and Gilded Knight in the Preakness.
But they can come on, these horses,
One OF those 3 and even year old
horses that just missed or missed
badly in 1889 may emerge as cham
pion as the 1910 campaign closes out.

There was a time when Phillip

The
SPoRTLIGH1
Banner Season Ahead
For Handicap Horses
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. II N.A.
NA0.-This may bet can be-the
best year for the handicap horses
that the turf has known in long
time. Disaster overlook some of the
best of the 3-year-olds of 1889, but
most of them came through sound
and ready to race, while the older
horses. for the most part, stood up
strongly through the campaign.
The result is that IS or 16 out
standing candidates, plus at least 20
others that rank just below them,
are-or soon will be-in training for
the Santa Anita Handicap, the
Widener Challenge Cup, the Subur-
ban, the Brooklyn, the Saratoga, the
Paumonok, the Massachusetts and
other handicap events.
The best of the older horses last
year was c. S. Howard's Kayak II
that won the 100000 Santa Anita
Handicap, the Bowie Handicap, the
Hollywood Gold Cup, the Conti-
mental and the American. This year
the Argentine again is favored to
win at Santa Anita on March Q
and 20 on from there.

Struggle for Kayak II
To Remain at Top

But he will have terrific strug-
gle trying to keep on top of the
heap, for w. L. Brann's Challedon,
3-year-old champion of 1899 and
twice conqueror of the Howard
horse, is moving back toward fur
ther clashes with him.
There is threat to Kayak right
In his own stable-the aged but
gallant and always dangerous Sea-
biscuit. The old campaigner-now
Z years old-was forced out of train
ing last year, but he's Blackjack
with most of his speed and all his
old strength and courage. He drew
top weights from the handicappers
for both the Santa Anita and the
Widener.
Another threat may be carried by
the sleek Bimelech, E. r. Bradley's
1889 2-year- old monarch and winter
book favorite for the Kentucky
Derby. Let Bimelech win the roses
at Churchill Downs and crash on to
a few more triumphs and the late
season will find him tussling with
the older horses. Unbeaten as
2-year-old, winner of the Saratoga
Special, the Hopeful and the Bel
mont and Pimlico F'uturities, he's
red hot as another season looms
