R. T. WILSONS BIG STABLE. New York, December 19. The greatest number of thoroughbreds at present assembled in one stable on a metropolitan race course is owned by Richard T. Wilson. All told, ho has twenty horses in retirement for the winter at Belmont Park. Of the lot an even dozen are two-year-olds and upward, and tho rest yearlings, bred on the same lines as horses that have heretofore borne the popular colors of the president of the Saratoga Association with distinction. Mr. Wilsons long inclosed barn six laps to tho mile offers every opportunity for getting a string ready for winning races at the first time of asking. Thomas J. Healey. a trainer of long experience, is in charge of the Wilson string. The following nro the names and breeding of the older division of the stable: Altamaha, b. g, 3, by Plaudit Passan, by Hamburg. Amain, ch. g, 3, by The Scribe Tarantella, by Peter. Cherish, br. c, 3, by Plaudit Blissful, by Rayon dOr. Flying Yankee, b. c, 2, by Yankee Mary Black, by Islington. Genseric, br. c, 2, by Ogden Lola A., by Enquirer. "v Long Bow, ch. g, 2, by Ogden Busy Maid, by Meddler. Naushon, br. c, 3, by Yankee Royal Gun, by Royal Hampton. Olambala, ch. h, 5, by Ornus Blue and White, by Virgil. Owanux, br. c, 3, by Ogden Nahma, by Longfellow. Penobscot, ch. g, 2, by Yankee Courtplaster, by Sandringham. Sencx, ch. g, 2, by Yankee Old Lady, by Henry of Navarre. Yellow Eyes, ch. g, 2, by Golden Garter Lady Amelia, by Ben Brush. The eight coming two-year-olds are as follows: Bay filly, by Delhi Hanoana, by Hanover. Bay filly, by Yankee Dixie Queen, by Sir Dixon. Bay filly, by Yankee Royal Gun, by Royal Hampton. Bay filly, by Broomstick LAlouotte, by King-like. Bay gelding, by Yankee Deviltrec, by Top Gallant. Chestnut colt, by Yankee Courtplaster, by Sandringham. t Chestnut colt, by Monfort Madchen, by Knight of the Thistle. Chestnut filly, by Disguise Witchcraft, by Horoscope. Taken collectively and individually those youngsters are the equal, if not the superior, of any band of yearlings ever bred or purchased by Mr. Wilson. Just one-half of the collection was foaled at John E. Maddcns Hamburg Place Stud in Kentucky. It takes no stretch of the imagination on the part of horsemen who watched the youngsters tried during the late summer at Saratoga Springs to lelleve that these colts and tillies are destined to win important events. The son of Courtplaster is an individual of fine proportions. The formation of his shoulder, coupling and stout loins are indicative of enormous weight carrying ability. He moved in a resolute manner when set down in his trials, and the watch indicated that he is cut out for big things on the racecourse. The Witchcraft filly resembles her dam, which raced In the colors of S. W. Streett, Samuel C. Hildroth and E. E. Smathors, on eastern and western tracks. Besides having perfect conformation, she lias bone and substance. Her way of going Is convincing, and with these essential qualifications it is highly probable that she will be named for many stake events. LAlouette, winner of the Futurity Stakes in 1897. and one of tho few fillies to have that distinction, is the dam of a likely filly by Broomstick, a horse that made turf history on the race course and in the stud. Many of her points in front suggest the Enquirer line, while her high, broad quarters are of the Bonnie Scotland type. Naushons sister is patterned after her brother except in color. The winner of the United States Hotel. Expectation and other stakes is nearly black, while this filly is a bay. Olambala, Naushon nnd the rest of the string that raced last season have gone into winter quarters in the finest possible condition. That they will race In 1912 up to their previous good form is highly probable.
