GOSSIP FROM KENTUCKY SOURCES. 31. C. Hallenbeck Hopeful of Winning Kentucky Derby of 1912 with His Good Colt Worth. Louisville, Ky., July 2.". The racing stable of Pat Dunne is now at Churchill Downs iu charge of trainer Fred Hanlon. who also has in his care the three-j ear-old Sebugo and the two-year-old Damson, both of whieh are owned by AV. II. Laudernan, of Lexington, who as far as these two horses are concerned is a racing partner of Mr. Dunne. Mr. Dunnes horse Illain is about the best in the string and is looking good now. He bids fair to be a handy plater the coming fall on the Kentucky circuit. AVheii at his best he cm run fast and far. Another horse in the Dunne stable sure to lie liene-fited bv the summers rest is Agility, a speedy daughter of Hamburg whieh twice in Mexico won at a mile when hardly more than a two-year-old. Trainer Ilanlon is taking things easy with the Dunne and Laudernan horses, and walking and trotting exercises will be all they will be called upon to do for a time, with plenty of grazing, lie seems to think that the Kentucky "circuit the coming fall, with the Juarez winter meeting in prospect, will afford sufficient racing for any stable of horses, and lie is glad Mr. Dunne looked at tilings that way and passed up tMiadian racing this season. Mr. Ilanlon hopes that Sehago will come back next fall to his good behavior. He had sufficient speed in one or two of his starts at Latouia, but was forced to accept so much the worst of the start that he had no chance to make up his lost ground. The son of Sempronius probably will lie raced at longer distances than six furlongs the coming fall. There is at least one prominent turfman who still lis faitli in racing coming back into its own in New York state and in other parts of the country where the gates are now closed against the sport. This is H. U. Hallonbeck, the millionaire New York paper manufacturer, who paid 0,000 for the crack two- i year-old AVorth last spring and ran Prince Gal up to .y::.r00 in a selling race at Latonia recently, and bought him from George M. Odom. Mr. Hallenbeck also owns Fauntleroy. .Miss Minnie, Adams Express, Housemaid and Sir Marion, ami he has ordered his trainer, F. M. Taylor, to buy any horse capable of winning good races regardless of price. Messrs. Hallenbeck aud Taylor both think there are still plenty ot places in which to race aud the former has no intention of curtailing his turf venture because none of the New York tracks will open this season. Mr. Hallenbeck hopes to win the Kentucky Derby in 1012 with his good two-year-old AA7orth. He considers the son of Knight of the Thistle a better juvenile racer than was Meridian, the 191 1 winner of the big race, ::ud he races just like a colt that will develop into a star three-year-old. There are two horses that raced on the Kentucky tracks this season that Mr. Hallenbeck would like to buy. One is T. C. McDowells great colt, The Manager, and the other is George M. Odoms four-year-old Ally, Follie Levy. Mr. McDowell wont oven consider an offer for. his crack, and trainer Taylor does not think Follie "Levy worth as much as the price George Odom has set. said to lie 5,000. Mr. Hallenbeck wants the daughter of Golden Maxim, not solely for racing purposes. It is his intention to establish a select breeding plant and in future years race the produce of his own stallions and inares. Trainer Taylor has already engaged stallroom here for the Hallenlicck string the coming fall, and ho will ship the eastern horsemans stable from Saratoga to Churchill Downs early in .September. 0. C Aan Meter has five horses in his training barn at Douglas Park, all of them two-year-olds, including Robert and Dilatory, both of which are Ken-tuckv Derbv candidates in 1012. Mr. Aan Meter would have bought a few yearlings this season had Hie Gittins bill passed in New York, but now he is dlbposed not to increase his stable this summer and just race his two-vear-olds through the coming fall, only making additions to his string as some of the youngsters he now lias are sold off or incapacitated for racing. Several of the stables which went from Latonia to AVhite Sulphur Springs. W. Ara., to race are expected at Churchill Downs and Douglas Park. .1. AV. Fuller, of Texas, is thinking seriously of trying the Kentucky circuit the coming fall with Injury, Toy Boy and Nettie Marchmont. The latter is a speedy tliree-year-old filly and Toy Boy a useful plater, while Injury carried high weights successfully in handicaps at Juarez last winter. It is understood that if Mr. Fuller comes to Kentucky in the fall with lils string lie will not go to Lexington, but will begin his oerntions at Churchill Downs. Trainer George Laud will Shortly take Up Royal L Report. Louisville Lady and one or two others which will constitute his training stable for the fall campaign. Royal Report, if ho stands training, may cut some figure in the proposed four-mile Endurance Stakes, inaugurated by tho Kentucky Racing Commission, as lie has shown himself to be a good performer whenever called ou to cover a considerable distance of ground.
