* + EIGHT VETERAN WINNERS OF MORE THAN 0,000 AND LESS THAN 0,000 + 4. There are eight veterans of the track that have taken part in racing this year which, in the course of their careers, have Won more than 0,008 each and less than 0,000. Of these the one that has come nearest to winning 0,000 is the fast horse. De Mund. frequently, but unjustly, called a "gold brick." lie-cause D. J. Rainey gave 5,000 for him under the impression that he was a better racer than he subsequently turned out to lie. High prices have frequently been paid for yearlings and two-year-olds that were much more conspicuously failures In racing, with little said about their delinquency. De Mund proved a non-stayer, but as a sprinter he was of high class and, while he did not directly win back his purchase price, there is no doubt that he more than did it in the way of substantial backing in his successful races. Next to De Mund in total earnings is the old geldiug. lacobite. Running as the property of Sydney Paget. Jacobite was a cracking good two-year-old and as winner of the Hudson Stakes. Foam Stakes. Dash Stakes. Creedmoor Stakes. Reinsen Handicap and Cutchogue Handicap, besides pane races, deservedly racked high among the two-year-olds of 1MB, Although he did not afterwards run up to his promise of that year, he has always been a useful race horse and is still able to go some. Grenade, a horse of varied career, is third in this list. When a younger horse than now Irenade was not considered a sprinter and over the New York tracks was as likely to win at a mile and an eightli or a sixteenth as any of the high-class horses formerly need there as selling platers when really good handicap horses. Of late years, however, he has only lieen successful over short distances, but has always more than paid his way. He won the Raneho del Iaso Stakes at Morris Dark when a two-year-old. the Fuirview Stakes at the same track when a three-year-old and when a four-year-old won the Flushing Stakes and Harden City Stakes for James H. McCormick. The next year he won the Corona Stakes at Jamaica, but :he great bulk of his racing was for purses and, considering the large sum to his credit, it is apparent that a busy career was required to amass it. Corrigan is old enough to be ashamed of his owners for requiring him to be still engaged in racing, but he is still able to run fairly well. Corrigan was a crack in California racing in 1901 -02 and winner of the Colts Second Trial Stakes. Great Trial Stakes and Western Foal Stak.-s as a two-year-old. He came on to Chicago when a three-yeat -old and won numerous purses at Washington Dark. Harlem and Hawthorne, as well as the Autumn Stakes at the latter track, then was taken back to California and won the Owning Handicap on tile first day of the Oakland meeting, following this up with several other victories. Four years later he again won the Opening Handicap and is the only double winner of that formerly important event. For Burns and Waterhouse Corrigan also won the Waterhouse Cup. New Year Handicap and many other races and was. when in his prime, a thoroughly good race horse, fast, game and a staver. Thomas C. McDowells fine mare. Kings Daughter, is fifth in this list and she was never tietter than in the spring and early summer of this year, when she was almost an invincible at Louisville and Latonia. Cnluckily she did not travel well for some reason and ran far below her western form after being taken east last July. But in other years she lias made her mark in eastern racing as well as in the west and is known to all conversant with the merits of the horses of the last half dozen years «is a high-class and speedy mare and a remarkably good weight carrier. Ornament has sired many excellent racers of both sexes, hut it is probable that she will always rank as his best daughter. One of Hamburgs good sons comes next to Kings Daughter. Juggler has not distinguished himself this year because his natmal speed is abating, but in years not far away he was a ra|dd-going horse, dangerous in any but the very highest class. Winner of the valuable Autumn Stakes when a two-year-old . he was a hardy and often-winning campaigner in all succeeding years up to 1910 and may do something in the fall and winter racing suggestive of his former prowess on the track. Pretension is English bred and was imported to rhis country as a foal. He was a verv fast horse when at his best and won many races in good company for Chinn and Forsythe. He was campaigned from New-York to San Francisco and made good as frequently as any horse of his class could be expected to. Belmere was third to Ormondale and Timber fur the Futurity of 1905 and in 1900 won the Brooklyn Derby. Larch moat Stakes. Buffalo Derby. Dierrepont Handicap and the Crescent City Inaugural Handicap achieving a more than respectable position among the three-year-olds of that year. He was lame and unable to race as a four year-old. but came back in 1908 and had a very successful year. At present he shows the effects of years, but it is not Improbable that he may prove an occasional winner at Oakland next winter The records of the eight good horses named are as follows: De Mund. ch. h. 1904, by Goldfinch — Graciosity.- Year.
