The winter meeting of the Jockey Club Juarez track is fast reaching its . most successful stage and is now on a par with the luciling of 1012-1013, which turned out a huge financial success. Take the races in and out this season and the sport is the hest ever seen at this track. The. program cards arc especially inviting to those with a speculative turn of mind, as well as ; tin general racing public, and now that the two-year old racing has begun here in earnest the sport is mightily attractive. .Manager M. .1. Winn and his associates in the operation of the big Juarez plant are ever ready to put on a race to bring together tli; best horses at the track and as the season progresses tin re will be races that will shine among the must liiilll.iil events run in America during 1114. Except for a few days of rainy weather, the track lists been in record breaking condition, with the weather unexcelled for winter racing. Rright. sunny afternoons are the rule and all t no SOD or more horns hen- are in good form, with the exception of a few performers shipped here with their stables ; in a crippied condition that have had to submit to i the tiring iron, liven they are now rounding to and all of them probably will race before the long winter meeting is over. Of the two-year-olds it can be safely said that as a whole they outclass any lot seen at a winter i track in recent years. There is undoubtedly a . c liainpiou among these valuable and fasnionaiiiy-nreo youngsters and the star of the strong aggregation is Miiilc likely go up the line this season as Hawthorn did in 1012 and lid Rosebud did last year. There ale two-year-olds now here that imiticstiona-bly tand out even more prominently as star racing pros-iects than did the sou of Hastings or the son of lii le in their youra at a. responding time. Piy StroHk cjoflwntm some good opposition in the scv n iuiiongs feature race at Juarez in a hard drive. Meadow was one of the starters in this race and linished far in the rear.

Carson, would lie refused in future, owing to the inconsistent racing of that thoroughbred. J V Fuller may have another Injury in that nolti geldings brother. Little Will, winner of the Texas Futurity Stakes, recently run at the Jockey iu". Juarez course. Little Will may be a gooil Derby prospect, as in his two victories here lie has not nly shown sensational speed, but has acted like a real stayer. The son of Marchniont II. is a stout!v built and racy looking individual, of just the sort that come ;o hand slowly, but constantly improve. Inj: ry was not raced until he was a tliree-vear-old, while Little Will only started three times as a two-year i Id and all his racing at that age was done in lh en her. Sweet Danger, th" dam of Injurv, Little Wil a id Black-Eyed Susan, is a daughter of De- iv whose get are unifonnlv successful in the st-id Mr. Fuller has Little Will engaged in the i a :iltep,e Handicap and the Chihuahua Slakes, yet t i be run here this winter, and if nothing hap-pr : o him in training between now and the dates h. for the running of these events, he is Muite .ikly to add both of them to his Texas Futuritv success, though he will meet in these stakes the best of his age in training here. J. Roland, who is here in charge of the Iontius and Roland string, including Abound and The Monk, was in ISOil and 1000 a successful rider. In the former year he rode Alpen to victory in the New Or-r leans Christmas Handicap, while in 1000 he won a great number of races, including the Kentucky Derby, the Latonia Derby and the Clark Handicap, with Lieutenant Gibson; the .Merchants Handicap at New Orleans with Jolly Roger, and the Youngster Stakes at Harlem with Garry Herrmann, besides other important events. Roland soon became too heavy to continue riding, and since the early nineties has devoted himself to training as a vocation. He has made a success both as owner and trainer. Willi Lieutenant Gibson he set the record for the Kentucky Derby, one mile and a quarter, for the lirst time under 2:07, and that great colts performance of 2:0GVi has since been only twice beaten in the running of this important event. J. F and H. S. Xewinan have seven two-vear-olds now at the Jockey Club Juarez track. They have all been named and are a lusty looking lot of youngsters, with promise to make good in the early juvenile races of 1014. They are: Dens Rrother. b. c, by The Irishman Ressic Kisland, by Vanguard. Doctor Gatlin. ch. e. by Abe Frank Hindoo Queen, by Hindoo. Don Cortez, br. c, by St. Savin Alma Gardia, by Rancocas. Ill Savin, br. c, by St. Savin Our Ressie, bv Lord Dalineny. Josetina Zarate, ch. f, by Abe Frank Minyon. bv Rancocas. Rebecca, b. f, by Abe Frank Add Ran, by Rancocas. Serf Savin, br. e, bv St. Savin Saiuvoke. bv Sain. The last named youngster is a half brother to ytfu Juarez track record holder. Vested Rights, r and his dam is a daughter of Bessie Bisland. which foaled Rens Rrother at the age of 23. Rebecca is a half sister to Doc Allen, while .Tose-fina Zarate is a sister to Dick Dodie and Don Cortez is a half brother to Tempic Focht, Rosa Rablee and Tie Thomas. So many winners annually come from the Xewinan ranch In Texas that there is always much interest attaching to the two-year-old members of the stable, and as a consequence the racing public closely watch their debut under colors, with the expectation that a Ian Zareta or a Calisse may be uncovered. In T.U1 Calisse, Closer. Itessie Frank. I.una Beall. Tie Thomas. IJooger Rattle. Isoin and Iatsy Reach were two-year-old winners developed in the Newman stable, while in 1012 Pan Zareta. Vested Rights, Mother Katcbani. Rosa Rablee and Pat Gannon was this strings contribution to the !i. t of winning juveniles. . The colts Don Cortez. Serf Savin and III Savin alTcrd substantial evidence of luck in breeding. In the spring of 1011 three of the Newman mares Alma Gardia. Saiuvoke and Our Ressie were nil sent to Kentucky to be mated to St. Savin, a son of St. Simon, and each had tlie good fortune to produce a colt. These? youngsters represent those foals. St. Savin is now in Australia and it may be that one of these colts will cause American breeders to regret that such a richly bred horse was ever allowed to leave this country. Ill Savin is the favorite of the three with the attaches of the Newman stable and he is of the type that may turn out to be a Derby winner in 1015. Capr. K. C. P.unbtiry has named the only two-vear-old he has in training. She; is a bay lilly by tlie noted race horse Meeliek out of Wrangling Duchess and from all accounts is a speedy and promising youngster. She will be raced as Lesbia. Captain Kunburv has only two other horses in training at Juarez this winter, they being the tive-vear-old Lone Star and a three-year-old bay gelding called Chupadero. by Sam Phillips, out of Mar-guerate It. Roth are training promisingly. A. Nevlon. who has recently emerged from his second suspension by the stewards of the Jockey Club .Tuaroz for rough riding during the present winter meeting, is easily the star rider of this season at Juarez. He had thirty-one winning mounts to his credit up to January 1. His weight of 0C iwtinds renders it possible for him to accept almost any mount without having to carry overweight. When the Juarez meeting is over and this skillful rider goes back to Kentucky to rejoin the stable of John W. Schorr, the Tennessee turfman will have the most promising jockey lie has had under contract since the late "Tommy" Rurns lirst joined his stable. Neylon looks like a real coiner as a jockey. He can ride; in front or behind, has good hands and moreover is an alert lad at the barrier. Soon he will learn to avoid taking the chances which get him into trouble for rough riding and then he will be a linished jockey. One of his rivals here in the lightweight class, J. McDonald, will soon lose his apprenticeship. He already rides six pounds heavier than Neylon. When racing ends here this winter McDonald will go back to Kentucky to join the stable of E. R. Rradley. He is here under call to F. D. Weir, trainer of Old Rosebud. The lightest weight at which the chief rider for this stable. J. McCabo. can ride, is 102 pounds. He will be able to ride ail the two-year-old members of the Weir string. E. J. OConnell, of Louisville, owner of Emerald Gem, Requiram and other horses, has conferred the name General Villa on his two-year-old chestnut colt by Marathon Princess Lucille, .by Sir Walter, the famous Rrooklyn Handicap winner of 1.S90. This colt was named out of compliment to the noted Mexican Constitutionalist leader, and is a promising vnungster. Mr. OConnell also owns a likely two-vear-old lilly by Marta Santa out of Vanessa, by Relvidere, which he has named Anna Rose. She is a chestnut iu color and a half-sister to that noted campaigner, Rat Masterson, a winner for seven racing seasons. Vanessa, the dam of Anna Rose, won "twenty races during lier career on the turf and. in addition to Rat Masterson. produced Ruth Jackson, a two-year-old winner in 1011. Dr. C. Cann gelded a few days ago for L. A. Leigh, the three-year-old Sir Harry, by General Roberts Motto, and this horse will be out of the running until the closing days of the Juarez meeting. Sir Harry won several good races as a two-year-old last season and Leigh believes that as a gelding lie will shine as a three-year-old. He is speedy and possesses some quality. W. E. Cotton has selected the name Little Harry for his two-year-old bay colt by Orison Apology, by St. RIaise. This youngster is a half-brother to the winners Exapo and Apologize and his sire is a son of Hamburg and Vespers, which latter mare is also the dam of Rumble Ree, The Vicar, Evening Star. Angelus. Church Roll and Stilly Night. He is a good-looking youngster and exceedingly well put together, with every prosieet of being an early two-year-old winner. He has shown some promising trials and when thoroughly lit seems reasonably sure to make good. He is out of a mare that is a half-sister to the noted performer Agitator, winner of close to 550,000.
