W. R. COES BIG BAND OF YEARLINGS Jerry Carroll, who trains W.. R. Coes thoroughbreds, expects to have hi hands full next winter as Mr. Coe has no less than twenty-nine yearlings at Belmont Park, twenty-five of them being American bred, while four were bred in England. Among the American breds are a colt and a filly by Star Siioot and a colt and a filly by Uncle, which are said to be exceptionally promising. He also has among the imported youngsters a sturdy looking gray filly by Tetrarch, of which he thinks highly. "I am well pleased with the whole band of yearlings which I have in Charge this year," he said. "They are of good size and substance, but not. like those overgrown colts whicli gave so much trouble in the winter of 1915-10. I hope to see these train along without making trouble on account of enormous weight. Those big fellows were handsome and some of them really splendid looking, of course, but they were troubled with bucked shins nearly all winter, and when spring came I could not send them along, as they could not stand the severe strain on their tendons, which in the nature of things could not have been hardened for their work. "Mr. Coe tells me that Harmonicum has turned out to be a grand looking stallion since he went out to the Wyoming ranch, ne has broadened and : thickened and has let down just enough to look like an ideal sire."
