LINES OF THREE MORE ROYALLY BRED CANDIDATES FOR KENTUCKY DERBY HONORS HONORSBy By DK M M LEACH Sharpshooter and Phosphor a couple of eastern Derby candidates have recently arrived in charge of trainiT William II Karrick at the Kentucky Association cause to receive their final preparation for the bis Keiitucky Dtrliy race on May S There is more than a osslbillty of Ixith of the horses solus to the i ost to represent Schuyler L Parsons wealthy New Yorker The pair are both Kentucky bred Sharpshooter hav ¬ ing been reared by the Clay brothers in Woodford couutj while Phosphor was bred by Capt Charles I Clay of Fayette county countyJudged Judged on sonic of the form he exhibited last autumn Sharpshooter can be made out the best twoyear old which sported the silk last season In his last race run at the Laurel course Sharpshooter defeated a highclass field beating the Derby favorite Pebbles out of a place and ran his mile in 130 Of course Pebbles was conceding the Ben Brush colt a matter of ten pounds but this was offset by the easy style in which Sharpshooter finished out his race Here is his pedigree Sharpshooter is a gelding hnd geldings frequently fall as threeyearolds to race up to their twoyearold firm However last year we all saw Old Rosebud the unsexed son of Uncle carry off the Kentucky classic McGce Sharpshooters sire is a young and successful stallion which raced hi the colors of Edward Corrigan with much credit to himself and profit to his owner on the Chicago courses not so many years ago and was purchased by the master of Hawthorne during his sojourn abrod and is by White Knight otit of Remorse bj Hermit Remorse a good though aged daughter of the Derby winner of 1S 7 was twentytwo years of age when bred to the chestnut fouryearold White Knight rnd McGee is the only foal White Knight ever sired White Knight presents an unique pedigree being inbred to Lord Clifden and the brothers Rataplan and Stockwell Two crosses of Lord Cllfden appear In the first three removes and the manner In which White Knight is inbred to the brothers Is really extraordinary Wisdom sire of Sir Hugo Is by Blinkhoolle son of Itataplun out of Aline by Stockwell Manoeuvre Sir Hugos dam Is out of Julckmarch by Rataplan Mineral Wenlocks dam was also a daughter of Rataplan and Blair Athol sire of White Heather is a son of Stockwell White StockwellWhite Knight Incestuousiy bred as he Is war well served by the outcross mare Remorse which traces to Touchstone In the male line and Remorse was out of Vex sister to Galopia of the house of Blacklock and then conies Flying Duchess by the Herod horse Flying Dutchman Single DutchmanSingle Shot Sharpshooters dam is a daughter of the imported stallion Star Shoot wiiose daughters are proving their worth as broodmares and the granddam Ollie Glenn is by that famous race horse Leon utus and the next dam Is The Widow by the Herod stallion Hindoo Sahina the next dam was also of tlp Herod persuasion and was a ssler to Kingfisher by Lexington Herod again out of Imported Eltham Lass by Kingston anotherHerod so that it will be seen there is no lack of Herod strains in Sharpshooters pedigree and Matchem also conies in by way of Volby dam of Lord Clifden Beeswing Newminsters dam nnd brother to Strafford The Hermit of Astrology is admirably returned to the Hermit of Remorse and I ii m Inclined to regard Sharpshooter judged on the balancing of the blood lines plan of mating as one of I he bestlied horses engaged In this years Kentucky Derby DerbyAt At one time Phosphor I believe was thought to be a great colt Indeed but was retired somewhat early in the action last season However flattering reports now come to hand of his well being Phosphor Is SOP of the Glen Helen Stud premier Peep oDay out of Myrtelus by Mirthful and presents an attractive a nni npiihu in nre l oedigrec which Is given below Peep oDay apparently gets better as he grows older and last year had out two Derby winners in John Gund and David Craig and certainly holds more than an outside chance of sending forth another one this year I do not know that Peep oDay was any smasher as a race horse but I do know that he Is one of tlie bestbred horses which ever stood for public service in the United States Strong testimony that breed In does count and a thorough demonstration of the worth of a good pedigree Ayrshire Peep oDays sire is a member of the most noted sire family of all tracing in the female line to the famous Beeswing which foiled Nunnykirk and Ncwmjnster Peep oDay shows two crosses of Thormanby through Feronla and Sun ¬ shine close ui Thormanby was of course a Herod and his line is going strong hi France today and Thormanby is also the ancestor of Roi Herode sire of that curiously marked though wonderfully speedy colt The Tetrarch TetrarchMyrtelus Myrtelus Phosphors dam Is by Mirthful a Blacklock stallion of no small repute which lost his life in a disastrous fire which occurred at Hamburg Place some years ago Mirthful was a son of Hagioscope out of Sister Cheerful by Petrarch a great broodmare sire and sire of Busylxidy Meddlers dam Mirth ¬ ful It will be noticed traces to Chanoinesse sister to Hermit Hypatlca the second dam of Phosphor was by imported Woodlands a Herod horse which also got Ignite dam of the Derby winner Sir Hnon and Sister Mary Next In order conies the famous Maggie B B dam of Iroquois and Jaconet Phosphor is therefore a member of the best all around American family in the Stud Book Blacklock BookBlacklock is a distinct ontcross for Touchstone and we find any number of the best Herod strains in Phosphors pedigree For instance Macaroni than which no better broodmare sire ever lived Is the sire of Sophia Hagioscopes dam and the colt Is also well fortified with Matchem blood which coines to him through Australian and The Slave dam of Lord Clifden Phosphor therefore is well bred enough If only he is good enough to win the Kentucky Derby DerbyJefferson Jefferson Livingstons trainer llorinnn Brandt has arrived nt Lexington from Louisville and has In charge the Englishbred Derby candidates First Fiddle and Rovnl II tin hitler of which I understand will bo the Livingston rolinjuv for tile big race Royal II exhibted only fair form last season at the Ln liiiln autumn meeting winning one race from a rather modirate Held hut bus progressed quite In the right way over winter and there is no telling when these Persimmon horses take to improving where they will stop Besides by this time Royal II must have become thoroughly acclimatized Few of our horsemen Continued on second page BLOOD LINES OF THREE MORE ROYALLY BRED CANDIDATES FOR KENTUCKY DERBY HONORS Continued froiu first page seem to understand what a serious thing this acclimatization process really is I know well It takes two years or even more for horses shipped from this country or England or Australia to become accustomed to the change In climatic conditions and the late Major Daingerfield always contended that five years elapsed after importation before Englishbred mares could come to their best Therefore 1 expect to see Royal II and other Englishbred horses which wore imported and raced last autumn show vastly improved form over anything they could do in 1914 1914Your Your Majesty Itoyal II s sire is a Idg rugged bay son of Persimmon one of his best disputing the title with Prince Palatine I saw the horse one gorgeous June afternoon at Ascot win the St James Palace Stakes lolling his tongue and lighting out a stirring stretch battle with King Edwards perrler Your Majesty also won the Eclipse Stakes and St Leger but Is now away o the Argentine Before leav ¬ ing England liowever he got Princess Dorrie which won both the One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks last season Here is
