ajaCHAS FORTUNE RYANS 1912 STRING. v . i rk, March 29. Bixteea horata, tear ol iin-in threi vein ,...i- and an even doaea two-year i. I.I-. will make np tbe stable with which Thomas t Byan of New York and Virginia, wUI take the held a i Norfolk when tbe Jamestown Jockey Club i»-u-ii- gates for the spring meeting of 1912, .n April K Th. entire string wintered at Mr. Ryans Oak Ridge Farm. In Netsoh county, Fliginia. now tbe borne I the Bnglish staanona Sea King thy Persimmon ami Monsiem il l.iiiine by Orme; and the Amerii in lHM-se I. ii s.i. lie by at.i • i. --.. together with ■ ■loneu broodmares ..f ami rate Bnglish and American Km e. ;. w. Carter, • capable young Virginia trainer, win. handled the Byan hoi - in Kentucky ami ut j ; , Pimfico and Norfelk last year, had the string in charge all winter, but will turn some of the bones over t.i James Pltnsimaaens for racing at Norfolk. Cuter has liK horses n.-arer ready, too. than might lw expected, seeing tliar zero weather and worse visited the Piedmont section of Virginia in January and February. There is a tanbark track. seven or eight laps to the mile, at Oak Ridge, and Carter has be,n busy on it sinr-e the first of the year. While it is Improbable that Carter may lie as ready when the runs begin at Norfolk as some of the trainers who coate from South Carolina, nevertheless bis charges will he titter than any that win lend in ihis locality and about Baltimore and Washington, and vastly fresher than the majority of those that come from Charleston. The Byan three-year-olds Include Wondawhy and Belle Nelson, both of which were winners last year. Belle Nelson* easily is the lx-tter looker ol the pair. She has. indeed, the conformation and weight of I st nil horse, and inaMiiueh a she shewed hi Phnlico last fall quite as much quality as Wnn-dawhy displayed in Kentucky during the summer, discriminating students of form exjieet her to turn out the better three-year-old. Belle Nelson baa ■ pair of splendidly muscled shoulders and a short. sturdy back designed for nothing if net for weight carrying. Moreover, she is strong across the loins and symmetrically quartered. Neither of these til-lies bas had trouble with legs or feet, and there is every indication that they will train soundly. Daingerfield, ■ s,.n of Dolce Far Niente and Cherry Wild, and Belle Hampton, a daughter of Yorkshire Led and Debater, are the other Ryan three year olds, and if Oaingerfield continues to iiu prove, as he did In Decemlier and January, be is apt to develop high ability as a stayer. When Dainger-tiehl won a maiden race at seven furlongs at : folk last fall he was rather too light all over to be ralhrd a prepoanesatag youngster. Hut Carter protested that be would improve, and the young trainers expectations have not been disappointed. Daingerfield is getting to be a big horse all over. and gives every Indication of coming early to hand. Tin.. ugh Cherry Wild Oningertield gets Moo.1 which made MoreRo, Delhi and Astronomer tirst Haws race bon — . Cherry Wild is Indeed as valuable ■ mare as Mr. Ryan owns, and perhaps it was ■ knowledge of Major Dalugernelda weakness for th.-bleed of the family of Morello and Delhi which prompted she master of Oak Ridge to call her son DalngerfteM.
