There is always interest in any yearlings bred bv the former president of the New Louisville Jockey Club, as his Argyle Farm has turned out some good horses, including the high-class mare Alleviate, which in the stud produced Zienap. Another noted performer bred there was the Latonia and Tennessee Oaks winner. Flora Pomona, which was out of his famous broodmare, Fanny Willoughby, also the dam o Batts and Lilita.
