CHIEF MONEY-WINNING HORSES OF 1913 IN AMERICA . : 4, In the racing of 19115 the number of horses winning ,000 or more for their owners was 208. Of these thirteen won in excess of 0,000, or more than double the record of the previous year in that respect, when but six horses were aide to amass that sum. The difference is fairly rellective of the slowly mounting fortunes of the turf after a period of devastation and dimiuishment. Quite obviously the determining factor in this advancement was the resumption of racing in the state of New York. This important occurrence restored an old lield in which both eastern and western horses were able to ligure profitably for their wners. It is a source of real gratilication that the revival of racing over the Belmont Park and Saratoga tracks was attended with some brilliant performances in a racing way. quite up to the best ever known before in this country, in fact one feature was without precedent. This was the grand racing of Whisk Broom II. This magnificent specimen of the thoroughbred was brought back from England after acquitting himself nobly there in competition with Englands best. In this country he ran only three Taces, but in them lie did two tilings no horse had been able to do before. The races were the Metropolitan, Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps and he won them all. Pitz Herbert had made a new record when he won both the F.ooklyn and Suburban, but Whisk Broom II. made another of superior merit when he took all three of i he greatest handicaps of the eastern turf. The other record in this series was his unprecedented feat of t.tkiug np the crushing burden of 139 pounds and winning the Suburban Handicap in 2:00. The highest weight ever carried to victory before in this great race was Henry of Navarres 12! pounds in 1890. Distinctly the racing of this great horse was the star attraction of New York racing of 1913 and contributory in no small means to its success. Of another class, but quite unique in its way, was the entirely remarkable achievement of the seven-year-old gelding, Donald Macdonald. in winning twenty-two races and second 1 lace in the list of leading money-winning horses. Another veteran that emerged from retirement to the y.iul and raced with something of the speed and ike of his younger days was the eight-year-old Sir John Johnson. But he was able to make nothing near the record of Donald Macdonald, which, among other p ings, won more races than any other horse of the year. The four-year-olds of 1913 were inferior compared with preceding years, only Rinlolfo and Flora Pina being able to accomplish anything of note. P.ut. the younger horses made compensation for this and the racing of 1014 should be graced by some high-class four-year-olds. Of the three-year-old division Ten Point, i owell. Hearts of Oak. Cock o the Walk. Buskin. Bock View, Pandorina, Plying Fairy, Pan Zareta. Done-::til. Horroii, Montresor, Floral Park, Kleburne, Great Britain. First Sight and Lcochares all raced so well as to seem to give assurance of this. In point of combined speed, stamina and ability to carry high weights successfully Horroii, Cock o" the Wall:. Bock View and Ten Point seemed to rank somewhat in advance of the others, but the difference could not be expressed in any great number of pounds. Donerail defeated Ten Point at even weights in a memorable Kentucky Derby, the fastest ever run, but he did not subsequently race to the same high standard, else he also might be vested with a valid claim to rank with the best of his age. Besides those named there were other three-year-olds which raced so well as to hold out tlie possibility of development into four-year-olds able to race to a still higher rate of form. Flabbergast. Barnegat. I.indesta. Night Stick. Tarts. Monocacy, Helios, Tlie Widow Moon, Kalinka, Hawthorn and .thcis that might be named falling in this category. Included in the number of two-year-olds in the racing of 1913 were some truly exceptional performers. To one of these, the brilliant Pncle gelding. Old Besebud. fell the distinction of being the chief money winner of the year. Starting in fourteen races, he won twelve of them and owed his two defeats to his near relative. Little Nephew, once by a head and once by a length. In every essential to the makeup of ! high-class two-year-old there was nothing lacking in his case. II. P. Whitneys Futurity winner. Pennant, was another of high class that made a great impression and won all of his races. Our Canadian leighbors also contributed an unbeaten two-year-old in the P.assetlaw colt. Beehive, which won all of his six races and was probably the best two-year-old bred in Canada in many years. Besides these stars. Little Mi phew, I lodge. Gainer. Boamer, Southern Maid, Bringhurst, Surprising, Punch Bowl, Imperator, Black Teney. Superintendent. Kal"i. Casuarina. Gordon, Old Ben. Gotelus dead. Black Broom, Bradleys Choice, Tianiil. Flittergold and Vandeigrift all proved in lacing that thev were youngsters of superior excellence and sure to provide three-year-olds in 1014 capable of investing the stake races for horses of their age with at least the customary measure of public interest. Quite probably some that for one reason and another dd not rac much or to the real form of their natural endowment may shine in the racing of 1914. II. P. Whitiievs Forum furnishing a case in point. His half brother. Ilarmonicon. was Mr. Whitnevs best three-year-ohl in bis stable of 191." in England and a colt of remarkable speed. There is good reason to be-liive that Forum is similarly gifted.
