C. Whitney, A. Belmont and J. B. and F. P. Keene, as well as those reserved for racing by J. B. Haggin, it is probable that the total thoroughbred yearling crop of 1902 will reach, if not exceed, 1,000 head. Making the average allowance for those that die, others that go wrong in their preparation and those that fail to develop into anything like good racing material, it is safe to estimate that there will be fully 700 two-year-olds on the American turf in 1903.
