OF INTEREST TO JUAfiEZ ; HOPEFUL OF DEVELOPING ANOTHER TWO-YEAS-OLD LIKE OLD ROSEBUD. Godfrey Preece Has Largest Band of Yearlings, Closely Followed by B. A. Jones— S. Veillers Horses Bounding Into Form. Juarez, Mexico, December 26. — While there are , not as many yearlings, coming two year olds, now • in training at the Juarez course as in former years, the reason for this is in the scarcity of foals of ■ 1914. as com i ia red with other recent years covering the period that this course has been in operation. Each year, for the last seven, at least, there ! lias been a falling off in the production of thoroughbred , yearlings and while recently the breeding ■ business has taken on new life, it is too early as yet for much increase to come in this line and 1 there will be little gain in the output of such t youngsters for a year or two yet. While the number of these colts, fillies and I peldings here this year is short as compared with i last year and the year previous, still there are sufficient to furnish an abundance of two-year-old I racing as soon as 1916 sets in. There are a number of promising two-year-olds I soon to begin racing here. The eastern trainer, . Godfrey Preece, has the biggest string of these - youngsters here, an even dozen head, while the Missouri turfman, B. A. Jones, with eleven bead, is • next on the list. F. I. Weir, who developed Old I Kosehud, has a promising string of six youngsters 5 of this age and, as usual, the Texas stables of I Wade McLemore and I. E. Clark have a good representation - in this line. There are many ether strings « here with one or more coming two-year-olds in 1 training and it would occasion no surprise if some - youngster would show up like Caiisse in 1011, Hawthorn iu 1912 and old Rosebud in 1913, which will i go to Kentucky next spring and capture some of f the stakes hung up on the tracks in that state. - Nearly all the two-year-old stakes in the spring and summer in Kentucky have been won by two-year-olds developed at the Juarez track. Caiisse ! won the Debutante Stakes at Churchill Downs and 1 the Clfpsetta Stakes at Latonia; Climber won the ; Idle Hour Stakes at Lexington and the Debutante 3 Stakes at Churchill Downs; Hawthorn won the 3 Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs and the B Iroquois Stakes at Lexington, and Old Kosebud won 1 the Spring Trial Stakes at Douglas Park, the e Harold Stakes and Cincinnati Trophy at Latonia. • Another Juarez track development that was a stake winner in Kentucky was Edith W. and, but for r going wrong last spring, Julia L.. which left here • *with a string of wins to her credit, might have won 3 the Breeders Futurity at Lexington, which event • would likely have been won by both Hawthorn and Old Rosebud had they been eligible to start. No 0 other winter track iu late days holds a record compared ■ with the Jockey Club Juarez in this respect. • S. Veiller has been compelled to have his good 1 filly Inez fired for osselets. but the operation was s so neatly and effectively done that he is now confident " that he will be able to race the daughter of Alvescot at the Juarez track, anyway by the e last of the coming month, or. at the latest, early T in February. Veillers good gelding Bermudian n is now on the improve and will be sure to do some c good racing here. This son of Ieter Quince was s a sick horse in Maryland last fall and. in fact, • at one time, his owner feared that he would die. • He has now apparently entirely recovered without • his wind being effected to any extent and bids fair to he as good in bis class as of old. In n Maznik. this successful western horseman has secured t a good bread-winning addition to his stable f, and he expects to pick up a couple of more good racers here this winter, to make a spring and summers campaign in Kentucky next year. With ! Inez now an early racing prospect, Bermudian rounding to and Maznik in good winning form, Veiller r bids fair to have his usual good winter racing string ■ over the Juarez track, which has always been a lucky 6|iot for this horseman. One of the real old timers of the track which h lias come to the Juarez eourse to race this winter r is the noted son of Frankfort, Bat Masterson. that • is just alKHit to begin his eleventh year on the e turf. This horse is coming twelve years old and so far this season has won three races, which goes to o sliow that his racing career will at least run n through another year. He has been the most successful •- race winner sired by the brother to Hain-fnirg. ■* i having during his long time of racing won " a total of forty races and many other times has finished in the "money. His winnings in money is g imt such a great total, stilt he lias made better than Ihe general average iu this respect, having to Ills credit 16.093. He has one record of the horses ■ of his time at least, and that is the feat he accomplished at nine years old, he winning that year r eleven races and was in the money in eight of his s other starts. Bat Masterson as a two-year-old was s so Iiighlv regarded that he sold at that age for ■ ,500. His dam is Vanessa, by Belvidere, that was a good race mare and a winner of twenty-eight mces in the four years she was on the turf. His s showing as a yearling caused .1. E. Madden to o buy his sire, Frankfort, but the latter failed to make e good at Hamburg Place. The once noted rider. Phil Musgrave, is making ■ his first visit to Juarez this winter, but like former * jockev C- H. Shilling, it is in the role of an owner and trainer. Musgrave has brought three horses a here from the east to race, they being the sjieedy y sprinter Joe Blair. Egmont. soon to be a four-year-old and the now two-year-old Red Cloud, a son of jj the noted -ace horse Chuctanunda. To only go back ■ as far as 1908. the records show that Musgrave had ■ 123 winning mounts that year and was among the ,e first ten successful American jockeys. He was lS again prominent in 1909 with ninety-seven winning S mounts, while his mounts won ninety-one races in 11 1010. He only rode twenty-one winning races iu n 1911 and twenty-eight in 1012. but done better in n 101" when fifty-seven of his mounts got home in n front. This shows a record in six years of 417 « winning mounts and it is well to note that if Musgrave. *■ a* a trainer, proves as successful as he was is as a rider, he will soon make good as a skillful il trainer of horses. E. J. OConnell will race his speedy filly Carrie ■ Orme only a few more times here this winter and, I. alter that he will rest her up for racing in Ken-tuckv 1- next spring and summer. His filly Marjorie •• It. he will race all winter at the Juarez track, for the reason that she has not been campaigned in cither of her two years on the turf as severely as is Carrie Orine. OCounell intends to purchase a a couple of more horses for Kentucky racing ami at it Ihe close of the present meeting will ship his string to Lexington. This Kentucky turfman has is brought his entire family here this winter and will II mak* El Paso his home in the future. Since the Juarez track lias been oi ened a number of horsemen n ■ liav* established homes in El Paso, they concluding g that as they annually stay in this section for six x months in the year it becomes more of a home than .11 any other place where they race their stables.

The racing career of the good four-year-old Edith W. closed in a recent rare here, she having been jumped on liy another horse and having one of her tendons cut through. Edith W. was at her best In racing as a two-year-old in 19U!. Weir brought her to the Juarez track as a yearling and develoi»ed her here with Old Rosebud, the winner of the record Kentuckv Derby in 1914. Being a daughter of Uncle, her sire line was of the famous Magnolia faniilv. wiiile Dicker, her dam. is by Ogden, out of Lola A., by Enquirer. Iola A. was a mare of dazzling speed and produced two brilliant racers in Astarita and Timl er. The latter ran second in the Futurity of 1MB, while Astarita was a stake winner of eighteen races and ;.90:;. Lola A. is a sister to the stake winner Engarita. that won 0.22:! and their dam was Ogarita. a daughter of Great Tom. that sired the dams of the first Futurity winner.
