success in the recent Kentucky Derby will IK the favorite lint it is regarded as a certainty that both Lady Rotha and Watcrblossom neither of which has yet lieen beaten this year will each have a strong following in the race in spite of the prestige of the daughter of Broomstick Of the other probable starters all have raced well so far and cither won or been keen contenders in good contests with the exception of Brigs Sister and Margaret D which have only started once this season Lady Rotha ran a sparkling race last Monday when she beat eight other good tillies some of which are embraced In the list of prob ¬ able starters in the Oaks and won as her rider pleased while carrying two pounds less than she will have up in the Oaks and running the mile in 139 139Andrew Andrew Miller the owner of Lady Rotha says that in the face of her registration as being by Golden Maxim or Fayette she is undoubtedly a daughter of the former horse This sire a brother to Jim Gaffney is unw owned by Thomas M Murphy who owns the Wuldeck Stud in this county Mr Murphy bought the horse privately last fall from II T Oxnard in Virginia and is breeding the bulk of his mares to him this season For a sire located during his early stud career outside of Kentucky Golden Maxim has proved a big success having to date over fortylive good winners to his credit including such as Presump ¬ tion Royal Captive and Follie Levy It is to lie regretted that the rules of the stud book do not allow in a case like Ladv Rothas for her to lie credited to the sire to which she rightfully belongs Of course the bulk of wcllKisted tuurf inen and breeders well know from every point of the lilly that she is unquestionably by Golden Maxim and it is surely unjust for any horse to divide witli him the honors of siring such a good filly fillyIn In his present location at Waldock farm where his colts and tillies will have the advantage of lning raised in the blue grass Golden Maxim will no doubt continue his success as a sire in iiis re ¬ maining years in the stud Mr Murphy is en ¬ deavoring in every way at Waldeck Farm to give Jefferson County a thoroughbred breeding plant that Is a credit to any section of the country Some noted racers were bred at this estate when the place was under the ownership of the late Carl Junghluth of which perhaps the greatest was The Picket which won both the American Derby and the Brooklyn Handicap and is the sire of several twoyearolds now in the training stable of the Cleveland turfman Price McKinney at Churchill Downs DownsThe The supposition is that in offering his racing stable for sale former jockey Carroll II Shilling has been assured by the Jockey Club that ho will be granted i jockey license again He was set down several years ago for rough riding in the east and since then has acted as trainer of quite a string of hordes which have raced in the colors of Mrs J Shilling His last riding season was in 1912 when lie was connected with the stable of II C Hallenbock and on that turfmans colt Worth won the Kentucky Derby of 1912 Shill ¬ ing has always been regarded as one of the greatest riders of late years and his return to the saddled if lie proves a real comeback as is expected will surely be hailed with delight by his many friends He has always been looked upon as one of the most skillful jockeys in twoyearold races who over threw a leg over a horse Of the stock that he is disposing of by public sale tomorrow Belle of Bryn Mawr will be undoubtedly the medium of much competition among breeders as well as rac ¬ ing men She is a beautifullybred mare with a superior racing record having won a total of no loss than eighteen of her starts last year Sev ¬ eral times last winter at Juarez Shilling was offered a big price for this mare by the representa ¬ tive of a turfman who desired to secure her to retire her to the stud studShilling Shilling was not a failure as a trainer as the few horses he raced all ran well and if lie should now after getting to ride again fail to show his oldtime skill in the saddle he will no doubt have little trouble in connecting himself with some big stable as a trainer He has shown that he is a good conditoner and the horses he has trained have always campaigned well
