Haggin Stakes in
California Honor
Biggest Breeder
In Turf History
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

r UCKY BALDWIN'S name is
kept fresh in memory by the
phenomenal Santa Anita race
track, situated on that amazing
chara cter's old Rancho Santa Anita.
But you seldom hear of James
Ben Ali Haggin. whose life was as
remarkable as that of Baldwin and
who did even more to make Cali
fornia at one time the leader over
Kentucky as a center of thorough
bred breeding.
Baldwin was the most successful
racing man in America in his time,
but the Haggin Stakes for Cali
fornia juvelines, in the forepart of
the summer meeting at Hollywood
Park, fittingly honors the greatest
breeder in the history of the turf.
Haggin was born in Mercer
county. Kentucky, in 1921, His
mothers name was Ben Ali, her
father, Ibrahim Ben Ali, being a
Turk.
Educated al Centre college, Hsg-
gin studied law. Defeated for a
small political office, he went to
California with the gold rush . d.
began out west as a peddler with
a pack on his back.
HAGGIN STARTS LATE. BUT
MAKES UP FOR LOST TIME
WITH piercing black eyes and a
w full flowing snow-white beard,
Higgins Oriental appearance was
as colorful as his career.
He obtained his start toward the
top when he acquired land and
mining interests in payment for
legal services. His holdings soon
became vast. He obtained control
of rich copper holdings in Peru

HAGGIN OONSIGNMENTS
ARRIVE In TRAINIOADS

CALNAlOh was a dlsappoint-
~ ment as the head of the stud
on the $4,000 acre Rancho del
Paso, near Sacramento, but his
failure only spurred Haggin to
make it the most elaborate breed
ing esta blishment the world has
ever known in 1908 having
26 sires and $50 broodmares.
Haggtn imported stations .
bred racers In such numbers that
5000 were in his possession at one
time.
He also established Elmendorf
Farm, outside Lexington, Ky. In
! 800, he sold 100 yesrlings bred at
Elmendorf and 234 bred at Sacrs-
mento. Haggin consignments ar
rived in trainloads.
HaRgin lost millions when rae
ing was killed in New York in
1908 and In California in 1910.
When he died in 1914 at the age
Of 90, his Elmendorf Farm was
split up and auctioned. Today the
show place farms of Joseph E. and
George D. Widener, C. V. Whitney
and the Greentree Stable occupy
portions of what once was Hag-
gins property.
That gives you rough idea of
how big a breeder James Ben Ali
Haggin was.
He was a colossus such as rae
ing has never known since.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-06-15
became fabulously wealthy.

Haggin was in California 80
years before he entered racing.
His silks first appeared in the
east in 1883 On the 3-year-olds,
Tyrant and Hidalgo. Tyrant won
the Withers and the Belmont
Stakes, Californians cleaning up.
The following spring Haggin
took the Kentucky Derby with
Ben Ali, which the season before
had captured the Hopeful.
In 1886, Haggin turned up with
the filly, Fipenze. rated by most
critics second only to Miss Wood
ford among racing mares Of this
country for all time.
Salvador appeared for Haggin in
1883. He captured the Suburban

as far as WeStport. Here ne Joined the
annual expedition of the American Fur
company commanded by Andrew Drips
which was headed for their rendezvous
on Green river in Wyoming. The cara
van began its westward trek on April 80.
After few days travel Father De-
Smet suffered an attack of fever which
never left him until he reached the
Yellowstone on his homeward journey.
The hardsh1pS Of the overland trail
added to his illness were almost unen-
durable, and the missionary was ad-
vlsed several times to give up and re-
turn. No argument or suffering could
oisSuade him.
On May IT, the party reached the
Platte, followed it for seven davs.
crossed the Laramie Fork, then went
on to the Wind River mountains, and
arrived at the rendezvous on June 30.
Indians from several tribes were there
and an advance escort sent from the
Flatheads to welcome the missionary.
The welcome he received is hard to
imagine from a people who had only
known Christianity through a few
traders. The camp of the Flatheads,
which was the object of Father De
Smet's visit, was still some distance
away.
After resting three days at the meet
ing place the missionary separated
from the trading expedition and with
the Indians. ten Canadians and a
Fleming, Jean Baptiste, set out for the
main camp. Their route took them by
Jackson's Hole, over mountains and
rivers to Pierres Hole at the foot of
the Tetons. Here the main body of
Flatheads and Pend dOrielle were en-
camped. A lodge had been prepared for
the weary traveller and the grateful
people showed every respect and love
tor their missionary. The Father in
structed them and baptised 600 Of their
number.
The indefatigable missionary moved
from place to place as the camp moved
and on July % reached Henrys Lake
near the present boundary Of Idaho
and Montana. He climbed a mountain
from where he could view the sources
Of the jefferson and Snake rivers and
at the foot Of this mountain offered
Mass on July %.
Father DeSmet described this part
Of his journey which took him Into
Montana in the following passage:

lake. Until the 9th of August we were
still travelling through great variety
of country -. On the 10th we camped
on jefferson river. The bottom Is so
rich in lovely pasture lands and wood
ed with trees of thin growth. We went
down it, making twelve to fifteen miles
day and on the 21st of the same
month we came to the junction of the
three forks of the Missouri where that
river first takes this name; we camped
on the middle branch Madison fork
In this great and beautiful plain were
buffalo in numberleSS herds"
Here the Flatheads went on the hunt
and put in their winter supply. The
missionary remarked: Il chose to ac-
company them in order to watch this
striking spectacle from near at hand"
Father DeSmet left this camp on
August 81 for his homeward journey.
Lest harm might come to him the
Flatheads selected IT warriors to &C
company the Father until he would be
safely through the enemy country of
the Blackfeet and Crows.
The missionary wrote: Full of
trust in the Lord who had preserved me
thus far started with my little band
and my faithful Fleming who chose to
continue sharing my dangers and my
laborS. For two days We were going up
the Gallatin . thence We crossed by
a narrow pass thirty miles in length to
the Yellowstone river"
Contrary to his fears the Crows gave
the missionary of Christianity an en-
thusiastiC welcome At the fur trading
fort on the Yellowstone the Flathead
delegation parted with their friend and
from there to Fort Union Father De-
Smet had only the c0mpanionship and
protection of his faithful Jean Bap-
tiste. The journey along the Yellow
stone, the hardships and escapes from
danger read like tale of exciting adj
venture. Fort Union gave them a
hearty welcome. and after three months
of weary navigation Father DaSmet re-
turned to ST. Louis on New Years eve
The following year the intrepid mis-
sionary brought other laborerS to Mon
tana and founded St. MaryS in the
Bitter Root valley.
