MANY HORSES AT LOUISVILLE TRACKS. Recent Arrivals Materially Swell Summer Colony at Churchill Downs and Douglas Park. Louisville. Ky.. July 21. Many horses have arrived from Latonia within the last few days to rest at Douglas Park until fall racing begins in Kentucky. There are now about as many horses at this track as there are at Churchill Downs, and both courses combined could easily raise sufficient racers to have a race meeting of fair proportions right now. One string that has just reached Douglas Park is that of J. II. Meade, in charge of John Lowe. In ! this stable are John Louis. Marian Casey, Del Friar, Ronipie. Chapultepcc and four others, and the whole lot are looking well and doing satisfactorily. Trainer Lowe looks for Chapultepcc to be in excellent racing condition by fall, the speedy sprinter now being over the lameness which kept him from racing during the latter part of the late Latonia meeting. This son of Gcrolstein may be asked to run some distance races next fall. Trainer Lowe is also temporarily looking after nine horses owned by Henderson and. Hogan, and in the long barn where he is located is a division of the stables of F. J. Pons aud.T. B. Rospess, some twenty horses in all. Trainer George Walker took six of the Pons horses to .Canada, but all the other horses owned by that turfman are now housed at Dougla"s Park. Mr. Respess also took only a few horses to Canada, shipping most of his big stable here. He has in his string at Douglas Park several likely two-year-olds that were not raced this summer on account of not getting over an early spring sickness. All of these youngsters are now well and hearty. Another stable now at Douglas Park is that of the Canadian trainer. John Walters, who has the good three-vear-ohl Mclvor in his string. Mr. Walters went home to Canada to make a visit, but sent his horses here to Douglas Park to rest during the remainder of the summer. Louis Tauber is a late arrival at Churchill Downs with Golden and Spindle; he also brought here for John W. Schorr three head, including Terrible Dan and Tom Hayward. None of the horses now here is doing more than slow exercise, jogging and cantering mostly. The course at Douglas Park is now exceedingly fast. Even with tin; soiling over of the track at the Downs, the going is also good there. J. W. Frye has also come to Douglas Park with eleven horses, the best of the string being Princelike. Joe Knight, and Colonel Cook. The two first named are on the ailing list, but arc expected to round to for fall racing. H. It Brandt likes his present, summer quarters at Churchill Downs and was agreeably surprised to find the weather no hotter here at present than it is in Canada at this season of the year, nis crack two-vear-old Cash on Delivery is doing finely now and." in fact, all his horses, including Harrigan, Angeliu and The Reach arc looking well. W. C. Yanku receives good reports from Texas or the improved condition of Gilpy and Jupiter Joe and indications now are thut both of them will again Maud training. Mr. Yanke will make no effort to take them up until he returns to Juarez next winter. P. Dunne has sold to 1. Vititoe the two-year-old maiden bay colt by Sain, Hanetta. Mr. Dunne bought the colt in Mexico last winter from Barney Schreiber. He has only started ouce. Trainer J. W. Young looks for D. P. Lynchs speedy filly. Fair Louise, to be in her best form the coming fall on Kentucky tracks. Fair Louise has not raced since the winter meeting at Juarez and on her arrival last spring at Churchill Downs from Mexico trainer Young had her fired for Mr. Lynch. The application of the iron was successful and now the daughter of Ogden and Flora Pomona bids fair to train and race soundly for a long time to come. Mr. Youu" had hard luck with his old plater. Alma Bov, during the recent Latonia meeting. He had him on edge a half-dozen times, awl upon each occasion he was drawn out. When he could get to start, he dropped into a field that outclassed him. It was the first meeting at which he raced that Alma Boy failed to win in a long while. Lew Marion, who formerly trained the stable of I. II. Wheatcroft and has been taking it easy for nearly a vear now. will come back into the sport the coming fall with a small but select baud of youngsters. He is now on a hunt for some promising colts antl when the Kentucky eauipalgu U over for this season he will settle down for the winter at Churchill Downs and wait until the spring of 1912 before racing his horses. He talked with Mr. Wheatcroft recently about the sum that would buy King Broomstick, as that colt is a Kentucky Derby eligible iu 1012. but the breeder named a price far over what Marion says he could afford to pay for the colt. Mr. Wheatcroft thinks that King Broomstick will develop into a high-class three-year-old and, thinking so highly of him when first foaled, he nominated him iu the English Derby. Should he show good form late the coming fall he says lie will send him over the ocean and have him prepared for th English classic. Capt. James Jacobs, who has charge of the olic-ing of the tracks at. Juarez, Lexington and Louisville, and George Liudenberger. official timer, have returned to Louisville to rest until fall racing begins. It is said there are somo promising yearlings in Bourbon County this season by A. J. Coreys young stallion Transvnal, a son of Commando. Martin Doyle has a promising colt by this horse out of Young Thistle, and Nichol Bros, have a colt thev think very highly of by him out. a mare by Sir Modred. J. Hal Woodford has two fillies by him, one out of Evelyn Kinsey nnd the other out of Fleuron, while P. .1. Millett also has a filly of promise by him out of Redlight. This youug horse was unusually well patronized in the stud In 1910 and as a consequence there are any number of coming weanlings by him this year, and most of them out of mares famous as producers.
