SAINS TO BE WHALES NEXT YEAR. v "Barney Schreiber was talking about yearlings while he was here, and he declared that he had more promising material in his coming racers than lie had. ever had before," says the Enquirer. "I have got the stake winners, said he; in fact, 1 would not trade this bunch for all the horses l" ever owned. "Barney then went on to tell some of his troubles. Theres that colt, Seymour Beutlcr. I was offered 2,000 for him by Slocum at Buffalo. I thought he was kidding me at first, but found out that it was on the square. So I asked Brandt, who is training the horse for me, what he thought about selling him for that price. His answer was: "Nothing doing at 12,000; why, he is worth 0,-000. Well, he never ran that way, and while I was east I urged Brandt to ship him and some more of those 0,000 horses he had in his barn home and lake tip the yearlings. I knew as soon as I got Brandt to look at my yearlings he would want to gel hold of them. So I told him: What do you waiit lo be following around here with those 0,000 horses that cant win a race? But he was kind of stubborn and wanted to stick it out until he had got a purse with them. " I finally got him to conic home, and when he looked them over he was tickled to death. Then 1 took him to task about keeping me from selling Seymour Beutler. Thats a grand 0,000 nag you Induced me to hold. But Brandt has not lost faith in him, and he said toxme: Now, I own Preen, and I was offered ,000 for him. Ill give you Preen and ,000 for Seymour Beutler. He is yours, said I. But thats a long ways from 2,000 at that. " I have looked at a lot of yearlings this year, and some of them are line lookers and can step fast quarters, and some real nice fellows own them, and I feel very sorry for them, for the Sains will gobble up about everything they go after."
