1" JUMPERS PRINCIPAL WINNERS IN THE GARTH COLORS f For some reason the Virginia turfman seems to take to steeplechasing as readily as a duck takes to wrier. In this line L. Garth has been prominent for years and this year enjoyed an unusual measure of prosperity through the success of his small band of jumpers, winning nearly double what fell to him in 1013. The o.d mare Gun Cotton was his principal money-earner, but his four-year-olds Exton, Tom Horn and Blionib all won well for him and are exceedingly promising young cross-country horses. The three-year-old, Robert Oliver, also gave evidence of aptitude as a jumper and may rank well in that line of racing .ifler attaining his maturity In muscular development. In England and Ireland a llve-year-old is held to be quite a young horse in jumping and except in hurdle racing, nearly all of the great jumping races am carried off by horses six years old and over. Thus there is the possibility of one or more of the young Garth jumpers shining as real stars in the future. The earnings of the stable this year were: Horse. Cot. and Sex. A.
