t : : f RACING OF THE HORSES WHICH AMASSED THE STABLE TOTAL OF GEORGE D. WLDENER FOR THE YEAR 1918 4, . The stable of the respected Philadelphia turfman, George D. Widener, was not especially conspicuous in the racing of 1918, but it fared better than in 1917, when its total of stable earnings was 0,591. The Garry Herrmann filly Rose dOr was his chief money winner, her solitary victory being achieved in the Coaching Club Handicap at Relmont Park, which was worth ,050 to the winner in money and plate. Wise Joan and Lanins each won iii excess of ,000, but the latter was a great disappointment. Some of his racing when a two-year-old had suggested that he might find a place in the first flight of 1918 three-year-olds, but he failed utterly when in competition with the stars of his age. The French gelding Abadame made something of a sensation by winning his first two races in fast time, but went wrong after running four times, his last start being in the Toboggan Handicap. Several of his well-bred two-year-olds were sold and did better for their new owners than they did for him, notably Roi Craig. The stable went into winter quarters with the following record: Horse.
