GLARES CHILDREN HAVE WON 15,000. Flair, Lesbia and Vivid Scored Most Richly Cooper Sale Total 51,550. What a wonderful gold mine .the mare Glare has proved, writes Augur in Sporting Life. Bred by the late Sir Daniel Cooper, by Ayrshire, out of Foot-light, she was foaled in 1S91, and by four successes as a two-year-old she won 2,875 in stakes. In three outings as a three-year-old she failed to score, and was the following season sent to the stud paddocks. Her first offspring. Jet by Common, Glass Eye by Isinglass, and Glim by Kendal were of no account, and failed to win races. After proving barren to Carbine, Glare was again mated In 1899 with Isinglass, to which she threw Lady Lightfoot, but had the misfortune the following season to slip her foal to the same triple-crowned horse. Lady Lightfoot won only ,800 in two seasons, while Cornstalk, the result of Glares visit to Trenton, won nothing. Then came Flair, by St. Frusquin; Bright Steel, by St. Simon; Lesbia and Vivid, by St. Frusquin, and, lastly, Menda, by Gallinule. Flair won three of her four two-year-old . races, netting 0,920, while her One Thousand Guineas victory brought in another 0,000, and, as everybody knows, but for going wrong she would probably have won the Derby. Lesbias five juvenile, successes realized a total of 0,955, to which she added 0,825 as a three-year-old; while her younger sister. Vivid, contributed in the same season a sum of 7,280 as the result of two successes as a two-year-old. Thus we have the four daughters of Glare that won races bringing in: Lady Lightfoot. ,800; Flair, 6,920: Lesbia, ,5S0. and Vivid, 7,2S0, or a grand total of 40.5S0. Then we have this week seen at the sales Flair realize 8,000; Lesbia, 5,000; Vivid. 8,000. and Menda, 8,000, or a total of SG,000 for four daughters of Glare. Thus her progeny have returned to her breeder, roughly, some 15,000. So that one is justified in saying the mare has proved: a gold mine. .
