KEENES YEABI1NGS YEABI1NGSAn An interesting letter from Lexington dealing with the horses at J B Keeues Castleton stud says saysThe The brood mare list at Castleton now num ¬ bers seventyseven head and they represent the cream of the thoroughbred breeding world hav ¬ ing been gathered by the multimillionaire own ¬ ers regardless ofcpst both in England and this country Be are many remarkable thourfMttlH astlPton In Ben My 1 SECOND PAOH 1 KEENES YEARLINGS Continued from First Page Chree Messrs Keens own the only mare which Jhas ever produced an Oaks winner on American soil and more than that the only dam of an English Oaks winner that was ever on American soil Winners of the Derby and victors in the St Lager and 2000 Guineas have boon imported into this country but no American has ever laid down enough money to induce an Englishman to part with an Oaks winner or the dam of one As Cap and Bells is tho first American production to win this classic event hor dam now has a new record among American brood mares of all time Ben My Chreo in conformation is an ideal brood mare and luckily for her aristocratic own ¬ ers has proven a regular breeder Her year ¬ ling this year is an exceedingly hightypad bay colt by Kingston his only mark a bright star and he resembles no little Cap and Bells at the same age He is one of his owners Eng ¬ lish Derby candidates for 1903 and will doubt ¬ less be on his way over the ssa bafore many months as he will be raced in England both as a two and threeyearold Ben My Chrees suckling is like Cap and Bells a filly and like the famous Oaks winner is brown in color She is a very rangy youngster and will be given a chance to repeat her halfsisters triumphs as she will be entered in the Oaks of 1901 Her marks are a star and a lit tie white on her right hind foot She is also a daughter of Kingston The other Derby candidates among this years crop of yearl ¬ ings are tho brown colt by Kingston Glide dam of Skate by Chippendale brown colt by Kingston Katherine II dam of Petru chio winner of the Brooklyn Derby in 19CO by St Simon chestnut colt by Horo ¬ scope dam Vera dam of Tragedian by Mor temor chestnut colt by Horoscope dam Hand Maid by Fellowcraft this youngster bearing a striking resemblance to the great Tommy Atkins in color markings size and con ¬ formation and a chestnut colt by King ¬ ston dam Editha sister to Melton winner of the Derby and St Leger There are twenty two other yearling colts at Castleton and nine ¬ teen fillies Some of the latter will go to Eng ¬ land having classic engagements there includ ¬ ing the Oaks while the others will carry tho white and blue spots on the eastern tracks tracksA A complete list of this great yearling col ¬ lection follows and it is questionable if any racing stable in this country ever had such a bunch of youngsters to pick from and indications seems to point to the Keene stable both in England and this country being stronger in twoyearolds in 1902 than ever bafore These colts and fillies will remain at Castleton in Major Daingerfiolds care for a few weeks longer when they will be shipped East and fully broken The farm hands do no more than handle them to the halter and they are never ridden until they reach tho quar ¬ ters of Trainer James Ro we They are broken to ride in a day and they never see their blue grass home again until their turf career is at an end The list is as follows Bay filly halfsister to Conroy winner of the Brooklyn Handicap by Ben Brush BrushBrown Brown colt by Kingston Citronella cost Messrs Keene 11000 by St Simon SimonChestnut
