* * , MONETARY RETURNS REAPED FOR W. H. BAKER BY AMAZON AND HER STABLE MATES •* ■ * In the Yankee filly, Amazon, W. H. Baker possessed and raced this year a young mare of such speed end reliability that any owner might justifiably have envied him. Only three times unplaced in twenty I rsces. she won eleven of them and was his best money winner. If no ill befalls her she should be good to follow in the racing of 1910. Baker had other good money earners, the sprinter, Roscoe Goose, and the high-class selling plater, Sleeth, being especially effective contributors. Sleeth was in extra good form in the fall and won his last four races In succession. Two old-t iniorts. Royal Tea and White Wool, and the four-year-old Transit, as well, raced creditably and each gathered more than ,000 for him. The stable had no winning two-year-old in its makeup, but on the whole did extremely well, as the following record shows: Horse. Col. and Sex. A. Pedigree. 1st. 2d. 3d.
