BRADLEYS HOPE FOR FUTURE RACING Fine Appearing Band of Well-Bred Yearlings Ready for Education at Idle Hour Farm. By Thos. B. Cromwell. Lexington, Ky.. August 29.Fourteen of the best-lookjng thoroughbred yearlings in the Blue Grass region will be put in training under the watchful eye of Manager Barry Shannon at Edward R. Bradleys Idle Hour Stock Farm next Monday. Manager Shannon will manage them until the racing season is over in November, when they will be transferred to trainer Cliff Hammon. Five of the youngsters are foreign-bred, though one of this quintette, the good-looking bay filly by Buckwheat Macaroon dam of Butterscotch II., was foaled at Idle Hour Farm, where the other nine were bred and foaled. The chestnut colt by Marco Forecastle Mr. Bradley bought at auction of the English colts and fillies brought over by J. O. Keene for 1917.sh,500, and he probably will prove the star of the collection, though the brown colt by Helmet Lady Languish daughter of St. Simon Lady Reel, for which August Belmont paid 5,000 as a yearling, and the bay colt by Helmet Love Not, are exceptional individuals and much admired by visitors to the farm. The Lady Languish colt is a trifle pigeontoed, but he has easy, graceful action, as shown in the paddock and is a sterling prospect. Macdonald Colt Looks like a Bargain. La Soupe, the bay filly by Sardanapale Poule au Pot, is one of two French-breds, the other being Dodger, a brown colt by Macdonald II. Dogmatic. The filly cost her owner ,000, just ten times the cost of the colt, but in reality there isnt that difference in them. It isnt a bad risk to say that this colt will prove to have been a genuine bargain. The other foreign-bred one is the English filly by Fariman Violet Schomberg, and she was a good buy at ,000. The bay filly by Helmet Divonne, is attractive. The black filly by Beach Comber Whisk Broom, is a racy-looking miss, that right now is larger than was her dam when she was a two-year-old. The bay filly by Helmet Stumpv looks like sure money. The chestnut colt by Cunard lkindello dam of Bac, Blue Paradise, Busy Joe and Col. Tom Green, is a smart-looking chap. The bay colts by Helmet Tower of Candles and Beach Comber Princess Titania, and the chestnut filly by Cunard Miss Ringlets, complete the string. There are twenty-five foals of 1917 on the farm and they are shortly to be weaned. The handsomest of these baby racers is the bay filly by Helmet . LoveNot- She-is a superb filly. The brown filly by Helmet Lady Languish has a great deal of quality. The sister to Bradleys Choice, by Cunard Sweet Alice, in color and markings, is not unlike her brother. The brown or black colt by Helmet , Macaroon, is an exceptionally good individual. A smart filly is the daughter of Sweep Bellisario, and the black colt by Black Tony Nalaukha has much to recommend him.
