SANFORD STRING IS STRONG NEW YORK BREEDERS HORSES EXPECTED TO MAKE GOOD AT SARATOGA. Fitz Herbert Reaches Spa from Fort Erie in Tip-Top Condition — Racing Gossip from the Springs. Saratoga. N". Y.. August 2. — With the opening date of Saratogas great meeting only tWO days distant, this i mwnllj is alive with bustle and eager with anticipation. There is every MM for belieriag that the approaching season of sport will be fully up to Saratogas glorious standard, anil the meeting is quite likely to atone fur much that has beea lacking in New York racing on some of the other tracks. Much attention is being hestowed upon the racing establishment of the BapCoadb of Amsterdam, who ai here with an especially strong aggregation of twenty even hors.s. E. .1. Albright, who is handling the Sanford horses this season, has them in tine condition, and work-w.i tellers predict that the gold and purple of i lie Sanford stable will he prominent in the results of the meeting about to open. Of the horses iu this big string, Van Den. a four-year-old bay colt by Rockton — Retaliation, is eligible for the Saratoga Handicap, lie has COT Wed several good miles and his recent work, seven-eighths in a shade better than 1:29. shows that he is close to racing form. Van Den has also beea nominated for the Champlain Handicap, to ho run within a fortnight. It will take a pretty good horse to beat the son of Rocktoii with a race under his belt, observers say. Ka cc goers will see much to admire in Ranoscara. the six-year-old Clifford mare. Ranoscara appears to improve with age. A few days ago Danoscara reeled oft seven-eighths in 1:28. She was as fresh as a daisy when leaving the course and cooled out satisfactorily. Danoscarns first engagement is in tin- Delaware Handicap. Van Bu. a two-year-old chestnut colt by Chucta-nunda. out of Molly Riant, is the last fQal of his dam. which twice won the Delaware Handicap, caponed th Champlain, Saranac and other important stakes. Van Ru has beea highly tried and is expected to develop into a Bolt of class. Herkimer, a handsome son of Clmctanunda. strikes one as a colt of quality at a glance. Hi* has not ln-eu hurried, but his preparation has been steady and be will i« ready when sent to the starter. PaUM is put together on old-fashioned lines. H. is all horse and probably will require racing education to tit him for his best effort. 1aton is a two-year old half brother to Van Don. A candidate for Hie Flash Stakes is Swarts Hill, by Chuctanunda — Rurni Hills. She is built on the order of a good tilly and has a way of getting over the ground that is convincing. Haykelll, winner of the Alabama in 1MB, broke down the other day and will be retired. Rreeding, size and con format ion are all in her favor, and she probably will make a desirable matron. The remainder of the Sanford string are sound in wind and limb and are in active training. Second call on the services of jockey Frank Keogh has beea secured for the Sanford stable. Rollins, .1 lad who rode for the Onock Stable a few years ago. will also do some of the riding. The Sanford private training quarters, adjoining August Belmonts private training grounds, is a model for stabling and training purposes. The barns are substantially built, with large, roomy box stalls that afford thorough ventilation, and the footing -oat rings are shaded with maples. Fitz Herbert arrived from Fort Erie in splendid condition. The son of F.thelbert is indeed as splendid a traveler as he is great on the tart. He stepped off tie- palace horse car as square as a die. showing no muscular reaction In any part of his body or limbs. The great majority of horses show signs of traveling, even on short trips, that require a few good rolls in sand or straw to offset. The remainder of Samuel ". Htldreths stable, in charge of foreman William Breaaaa. arrived from the Empire City track in good shape. The string is made up of Dalmatian. Rose Queen. Rest igonche. King James. Joe Madden. Woodcraft. Eddie Dugan. Montgomery. Hampton Court. Novelty. Korniak and August Belmonts Iriseillian. Kddie Dugan and .loc Madden are on tie- shelf. Each horse has a middle tendon that I* filled and as rest plays an important part in the treatment of strained ligaments, neither ot these colts will start here. Thirty hors. s. tin property of Richard" F. Carman, are quarter. «1 at Horse Haven. I.ouis Fuestel arrived with Starboitlo, Rogon and several other Rehnont two year-olds. James iritlin. owner and trainer of Oar. also got in with four horses. Trainer Edward Deters has T. S. Martin. The Speaker, a three year-old jumper, and Goldwick. a two-year -old. at Horse Haven. T. S. Martin has worked well, all hough not fast. He was schooled a turn and a half of the field last week. The fences were cleared in his old dashing manner without a babble or blunder. Absence from actual racing is a drawback to nine out of every Ten horses, but T. S. Martin can 1»- expected to ptrfOlM Weil over the short coarse. Tin twentv yearlings purchased by Richard T. WUsoa, Jr.. from John E. Madden were turned over to trainer Thomas .1. Healev today. The youngsters have i een broken and bandied by trainer w. Walker since their arrival from Hamburg Place. two yearling eoits in the Madden lot have been sold to Louis Winans. owner of Sir Martin. One is a chestnut by Prince of Melbourne, out of Dainty.
