MUCH EXPECTED OF COLINS COLT. New York. January 9. — Trainer D. R. Puddin Mcllaniol is d lighted with the recent importations Which have been added to the Brownleigh Park Stable, Grant Hugh Brownes racing establishment. Tlie Brownleigh Park Stable is owned Jointly by Grant Hugh Browne and II. H. Sclby. who recently returned lrom Europe after having made sonic important purchases of thoroughbreds. Twenty of these recent importations, including the broodmares and nearly all of the two-year-olds, were shipped t the Browne farm at Ooshen. N. Y., while seven. Intended for racing during the campaign of 1910. have been sent to Hravesend to reinforce the string there in charge of trainer McDaniel. Far anil away the star of this string is the twr-year-old chestnut celt by Colin — Aealot. originally purchased in England by Thomas Welsh and sold by him to H. II. Selby for importation to this country. It is many years since any colt has been imported into the United States with such a reputation preceding him as this colt. When Thomas Welsh came hack to this country during the Saratoga meeting ht was at least aware of the existence of the colt and knew that he was regarded by many shrewd horsemen as the best of his age ill England. His individuality had been highly praised, and, of course. American horsemen did not require any certification of the rare breeding of a colt by the peerless Colin, while his dam is one of the high class mares of England. He is large enough and sufficiently well furnished for a well-developed three-year-old of massive type. He is all this without conveying even the suggestion of an overgrown colt. In many respects he bears a striking resemblance to his sire, and great things are expected of him.
