RIGHT ROYAL BREAKS DOWN. Saratoga, N. Y., August .15. Right Royals appearance in the fourth race on Monday will probably be his last. The winner of the Crescent City Derby of 1905 has a hopelessly bowed tendon and Roger Minton does not believe that he will be able to get the four-year-old son of Rapallo Mrs. Dela-ney to the post again. Right Royal has been lama since late last fall. He hobbled on three legs out of the Belmont Park Autumn Weight for Age, ia which he was backed to beat St. Bellane, and his people, the Haymans, feared he was done for then. A winter at James Prices farm, near Eatontwon, N. J., restored him partially, but he has not been good enough this season to beat even the cheapest selling plater. Right Royal was one of the first of the American sons of the lamented Rapallo to train, and he was considered a high class two-year-old by. Newton Bennington in the spring of 1004. But he did not run to either his breeding or his work while in the Bennington stable. It was .not until he had been sold to the Haymans and turned over to Dick Watklns that" he became a useful horse.
