REALIZATION WINNERS The success of The Parader in the Lawrence Realization was the inspiration for the follow ¬ ing readable history of the great race from tho pen of an eastern writer writerTho Tho Paraders victory over Commando in the Realization was a surprise as many of the victories in this classic event have been It was not even cs close a race as has baen the case in former years for Commando could not keep pace with The Parader after he once caught him in tho stretch stretchTho Tho inaugural Realization was run in 1889 when tho groat Salvator beat Tenny a head in one of the grandest struggles ever witnessed on a race track Favorite at 9 to 5 was Mr Hag gins Salvator who had lost tho first Futurity to Proctor Enott in tho preceding year Salva ¬ tor was ridden by the redoubtable McLaughlin at 122 pounds and the trainer had so improved tho colts condition over that of Tidal day that the champion of the orange blue sleeves and cap stripped in much finer shape than even on tho former victorious occasion occasionTho Tho peculiar conditions cf tho Realization seemed almost revolutionary however when D T Pnlsifors flying colt Tenny could get in at only 1C9 pounds The representative of the red and white etripes blue sash had achieved tho easiest of victories in Brooklyns Fort Ham ¬ ilton Handicap and Sheopsheeds Volunteer Handicap carrying 112 and 104 pounds on the respective occasions and his partisans indig ¬ nantly scouted tho idea that any threeyearold on earth could concede him thirteen pounds as Salvator was required to do by the Realization conditions Tenny ridden by F Littlefield was at 13 to 5 while it was 18 to 5 against tho Dwyers Lorgstreet carrying 112 pounds and ridden by Taylor TaylorThe The Dvyer colt was always prominent until the final quarter at which point McLaughlin bringing Salvator up next to the rail at once took the lead Riding in his most brilliant manner McLanghlin then lost no time in making his way home and his wonderful ekill was rewarded by a nose victory for Salvator over Tenny who came with a great rush on the outside Tho incident started the memorable SalvatorTenny dispute of 18 950 which was never fully abated not even by their match as fouryearolds until Salvator lost Tenny in tho Champion of 1890 1890Whatever Whatever excitement and disputation may have characterized tho finishing econes of tho first Realization these were notably lacking as far as tholeecond winner wasconcerned for Sen ¬ ator George Hearsts Tournament won by fifty ya rds or more in 1890 The only excitement of the ovontltpertainedj to tho struggle for second honorsHbetween Mr Belmonts Her Highness and Mr Scotts Banquet the former landing by a head ft Bulwarks of the tuif were the owners of tbo first three in that renewal and their subsequent deaths all in rapid succession were a genuine loss tojour branch of the sport of kings kingsMr Mr Belmonts untimely taking off was par ¬ ticularly accentuated by the Realization of 1891 for Ethel victoriwas the Nurserybred colt PotomacIwhichJhad won tho previous years Fnturityllfor the maroon and scarlet With the dispersal of the Belmont stable Potomac was purchasedSby M F Dwyer for 25000 25000G G BJMorris Stratbmeath was the Realiza ¬ tion favorite by dint of having already won tho American Derby at IChicago but Potomacs moat dangerous opposition developed in Mr MarcnsDalysJMontana MarcnsDalysJMontanaAlthough Although snfferinglfrom bis split hoof which gavelway early in the struggle Potomac ran his lace out with superlative gamenees It was again a noso verdict however but tho victory of the Nursery champion would almost certain ¬ ly have been effected by a larger margin had not his jockey been well uigh caught napping after thinking tho race at his mercy mercyAnother Another groat colt inscribed his namo upon tho Realization roll in 1892 for Mr Marcus Dalys Tammany was genuinely firstclass and it was a pity that his jockeys poor work in the preceding Tidal Stakes should have prevented tho colt from being absolutely unbeaten in 1892 and 1893 His Realization was a grand race grandly won and Tammanys subsoquont Lor illard and Jerome as a threeyearold wero fol ¬ lowed by his fouryearold conqnests n Brook ¬ lyns Second Special and the Lamplighter Special at Guttenburg GuttenburgGreat Great dissatisfaction prevailed over the Realization of 1S93 for the jockey on J R F P Keenes St Leonards gave a shocking exhi ¬ bition and the colts head defeat by Brown Rogers Daily America then known as the TronbadourSunbeam colt was a thorough paced fluke St Leonards was probably as unlucky a horae as evar lived for his previous American Derby defeat by Boundless was proven to have baen equally tiuky by the nict that Boundless finished many lengths in St Leonards wake on Realization day dayThe The Realization of 1894 duplicated Tam ¬ manys cleancut victory for the best colt Mr Crokors Dobbins was an 8 to 5 favorite while it was 14 to 5 agsinst lucky Baldwins Rey el Santa Anita and 16 to 5 against Mr Marcus Dalys Senator Grady Whatever he might have been able to do with these colts as juveniles tho little Senator was now hopelessly out ¬ classed and Mr Crokore gallant colt won in easy style by two lengths from tho Eeeno can ¬ didate Hornpipe HornpipeMr Mr Crokar subsequently purchased Rey el Santa Anita to accompany Dobbins on his Eng j lish sojourn whore the horse won under the name of Santa Anita Dobbins never started abroad however but has sired a number of winning sons and daughters daughtersProbably Probably the least meritorious of all Reali ¬ zation victors was Bright Phoebus who won in 1895 for Mr W S Hobart after being purchased for tho service of tho red yellow Maltese crosses and cap on the vary eve of the race Eeenan who was second subsequently earned international roguo honors in England and India IndiaTho Tho Realization of 1896 witnessed tho first duplication of Potomacs feat in securing the double event of the Futurity at two and tho Realization at three Requital had won the Futurity in 1E95 in David Gideons dark blue but had in tho interim been purchased for the service of the green red sleeves and cap of Colonel W P Thompson who had gone in for racing with great enthusiasm as the purchaser of tho late Mr D D Withers Brookdale farm whore Requital first saw the light of day dayRequitals Requitals most dangerous Realization op ¬ ponents were considered to be Mr Bolmonta Hastings and Merry Prince of which the former was also a juvenile purchase out of Mr Gideons establishment The Realization running re ¬ sulted in a most signal victory for Requital however who won without any apparent effort while second honors were secured by Peep o Day the imported son of Ayrshire and Sun ¬ down who had been bred by the Messrs Eeone The Bolmont winner Scottish Chieftain was tho Realfaation favorite in 1897 with Rens selaer second choice but tho contest was won by the Messrs Morris imported colt Tho Friar who carried the all scarlet jacket to the front in tho first stride and was never afterward headed The Friar subsequently demonstrated his quality by winning the inaugural running of tbo 3000 Brighton Cup Rensselaer on the other hand has sinco raced abroad whero Bel ¬ giums Grand Prix dOstende of 19CO has been among his important successes successesThe The 11000 Hamburg was an evenmoney favorite for the Realization of 1898 After the close of an active twoyearold campaign in tho colors of J E W addon Hamburg had baen pur ¬ chased at the abovementioned figure for serv ¬ ice in the colors of Mr Marcus Daly After experiencing a defeat in his inaugural appear ¬ ance in his now colors for the Belmont at Mor ¬ ris Park Hamburg had eimply squandered his opponents in his subsequent races and the Realization was a brilliant repetition of his favorite sproadeagling tactics tacticsTwo Two lengths at tho half four lengths at the mile six lengths at the mile and a half thus runs tho story of his lead during tho race and Hamburg was eased to a walk in order to allow his nearest competitor to finish only two lengths in his wako wakoHamburgs Hamburgs
