: : WHAT T. HITCHCOCK, JR.S, HORSES DID FOR HIM IN 1908 : With a stable of modest number, T. Hitchcock. Jr.. fared well enough in his racing operations of 1908 and. had Saividere trained well, would have done better still. But this naturally great race horse had so far gone to the bad in his legs that all the skill and care of John E. Madden could not lit him to cope successfully witli the other good horses of the year. Angelus proved a serviceable three-year-old and was his main dependence and money eanier In fiat racing. In that branch of racing in which he mainly centers his interest, steeplcchaslng, he achieved lils greatest measure of success. Bayonet, his half brother to the American Derby winner. The Picket, proved himself one of the best steeplechasers of the year and. aside from purses, won the Kings Highway and Deerfoot Steeplechase Stakes at Gravesend. Beverwyck and Shillelah Steeplechase Stakes at Saratoga and the Introductory Steeplechase at Sheepshead Bay. California King and Stokes also won steeplechase stakes for him. the latter winning the Harbor Hill Cup at the Bel--mont Iark autiimn meeting and stamping liimself a young jumper of extraordinary promise.
