BEST HORSE FOR BREEDING PURPOSES. W. H. Rowe Agrees with Edward Hulton That Fast Miler Makes Best Sire. W. II. Rowe. who has charge of the registration department of the Jockey Club and a recognized authority on thoroughbred barse hrerdmnj, agrees fully with Edward Hulton. the •ironiineut English owner, that hors.s able to run a fast mile make the most successful stallions. "Oil- has but to look over the progeny if Domino. Commando, Mck Wells. Ogdea, Peep oBay ami other fast horss." -aid Mr. Rowe. "ami compare their offspring with horses like Hen Holliday. Ad-vaaee Gaard ami others to be convinced that speed is the essential quality for sires. There is no question that HiMomstick was a better miler than lit" was at a greater distance, though he won the Brighton Handicap, at a mile ami a quarter, from Irish Lad. Had not the latter broke down, the story Blight have been different. The leading American sins, published ill Racing Forms Manual, shows distinctly tin- value of soeed in successful stallions. Olambala was probably the best barns over a long co. use of the twenty mentioned in the list, anil he was not without speed. I believe as Mr. Hulton does, that a fast miler with fitting blood lines is the barse to be considered for breeding purposes."
