KEENE STUD TO BE DISPERSED Thoroughbreds That Helped to Make Castleton Fa ¬ mous to Bo Sold at Auction in September Lexington Ky June 28 The executors of the es ¬ tate of the late James II Kcenc have decided to disperse tlie celebrated Castlctou Stud of thorough ¬ breds now at Kingston Farm under the management of Miss Elizabeth Dalugerlicld The sale is to be conducted by public auction under the auspices of tlie Kentucky Sales Company on Kingston Farm which is about live miles from Lexington during the Kentucky Associations fall racing meeting in Sep ¬ tember temberThe The offering will consist of fortyfour head seven stallions thirtyseven broodmares and seven foals of 1913 There will be no reservations These fortyfour represent all of the equine possessions of the estate in this country and they are an at ¬ tractive collection Tlie yearlings were all sold to James Butler of New York last spring and a dis ¬ astrous lire early in May destroyed the majority of tlie foals of this year Tlie yearTlie success of Caslleton Stud from its very in ¬ ception under the proprietorship of James R Kceno and direction of the late Maj Daingerlield Is too fresli in the memory of breeders turfmen and even laymen to necessitate detail Perhaps it would not be out of place in looking backward to 1893 to recall the success o Domino which in that year as a twoyear old swept the boards and won the munificent total of 170800 Tills son of Himyar was tho keystone of Mr Kecnes subsequent phe ¬ nomenal success as a turfman and breeder Sent to the stud early he died when still quite a young horse but not until he had begotten a number of splendid races for his owner with one of which Cap and Bells Mr Kcene iron the Epsom Oaks in 1001 and with another Disguise ran third in the Epsom Derby of 1900 and with the same good colt won the 50000 Jockey Club Stakes of the same year at Newmarket About the same time another great son of Domino Commando was su ¬ preme in this country It was while Domino was still on tlie turf that Mr Keeno won his first Brook ¬ lyn Handicap his horse Hornpipe by Mr Pick wich Round Dance In 1805 defeating Lazzarqne Sir Walter Counter Tenor Key el Santa Anita Dr Rice and other cracks quite unexpectedly to all but a select coterie Mr Keenes next triumph in the Brooklyn Handicap was achieved six years later with a colt of his own breeding when Conroy won it for him and upset the tradition that a threeyear old could not win a Brooklyn or Sub ¬ urban Conroy was a son of his stallion St Leon ¬ ards which ran second to Boundless in the 00000 Worlds Fair Derby at Washington Park In ISO1 ISO1In In consultation with his accomplished brother inlaw Maj F A Daingcrfiold Mr Kcene con ¬ sidered developed and adopted the theory that tlie road to success In breeding was through mating se ¬ lect Englishbred marcs with native American stal ¬ lions and it is on these lines that the marvelous results attained at Castleton were based His purchases of marcs in England were made regard ¬ less of cost and when the dispersal sale of Marcus Dalys broodmares took place subsequent to the death of the Montana breeder and turfman Mr Keeuo paid high prices for several Among those then bought was Optime and Mr Keenes reward in this case wag that grand colt Sysonby He liought Castleton Farm in ISO and while natur ¬ ally partial to the Domino family did not fail to give other lines of descent a share in his breeding enterprise and with Kingston Voter Disguise and other sires succeeded admirably and reaped a return that left no room for regret Of those named Kingston died last year but Voter and Disguise iro still likely to send others like Ballot and Maskette to the races Of late years ho had used in his stud such younger horses of his own breeding as Delhi Ultimus Celt Hippodrome and the Futurity winner Sweep with excellent results Major Daingerfield was always J supreme In charge at Castleton and his judgment was tlie controlling force when the matter of mating to secure the best results came up for consideration annually As a domestic breeding farm Castleton was with ¬ out a rival since from its infancy came such mag ¬ nificent race horses as Colin Ballot Cap and Bells Disguise Peter Pan Celt Maskette Sysonby Israelite Delhi Commando Conroy Superman Noonday Gretna Green Mclisande Hilarious Court Dress Peler Quince Wild Mint Philander
