DUNBOYNE AND STABLEMATES Futurity Winner of 1918 Star of P. A. Clarks Racers. Several Two -Year-Olds in the String Scions of Englands J Most Famous Sires. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 12. With Dunboyne standing as the star of the stable which races under the name of P. A. Clark, followed by such sterling platers as Lion dOr, Merry Princess and iMidnight Sim of the older division, and twelve two-year-olds which are highly thought of by those "who daily watch the doings of horses in winter quarters, this racing establishment is likely to have another successful year. William Hogau, who has them in charge, is a man who says little about his stock and is most conservative when alluding to the ability of any horse he trains. He is a trainer of much, experience, having worked up from the lxittom of the turf ladder until he is classed with the best in the business. Not only did he bring Dunboyne to the races last year in perfect condition, but mnnaged him so skillfully that he picked out his spots for action and met with unqualified success. Dunboyne was not the only bracket earner lie introduced, as Merry Princess, Lion dOr and Midnight Sun proved the value of his skillful hand. It was but a small collection he trained, yet he won a fair share of money through his close attention to business. His work was appreciated by his employer, as was shown by the fact that a dozen yearlings were handed to him for treatment for the coming racing reason. They are of mixed breeding, emanating from English, French and American stock, not a few representing the .best and.mb.st envied Wood. obtttiimlil,-tire names -of "Wrack; Dufbarvr8ardann- pale, Prince Palatine, Rabelais, PolymeluSj Ulti-inus, .Fair Play and Celt being prominent. In selecting, Mr. Hogan was not married to any one sire, preferring a mixture. In this he succeeded admirably. Naturally, he is depending upon Dunboyne to achieve great things and fully expects this horse to at least beat ull the three-year-old stars, if not actually run away from them. So much confidence has he in Dunboyne that the owner of the horse has wagered ,000 that he lients the entire entry of Commander J. K. L. Ross. Dunboynes last effort was in the Futurity, which he won from Sir Barton and Purchase. It must be said, however, on behalf of the latter that he had little or no chance after the stnrt through his erratic disposition. He lost many lengths by bolting across the track immediately after the barrier was raised. AVhether he- could have beaten Dunboyne is a matter of opinion. Prior to that Dunboyne was beaten In the Grand Union Hotel Stakes at Saratoga by what can be termed a second-rate trio in Sweep On. War Marvel and Lady Rosebud. In that race Mr. Clarks horse shouldered the steadying impost of 130 pounds, gave weight to every horse in the race and fiuished less than a length and a half behind Sweep On, which hart 127 .pounds up. While it was a good race on the part of Dunboyne, it did not warrant the badge of extreme honor being placed on the colt. DUNBOYNE HEALTHY AND FORWARD. In the United States Hotel Stakes earlier in the meeting Dunlwyne was beaten easily by Billy Kelly, the latter carrying 1117 pounds to Dunboynes 1UU., This was a decisive victory for Hilly Kelly and the race which probably instigated a wager of hB3,000 that Hilly Kelly would beat Eternal in the Kentucky Derby, as a few days prior Dunboyne beat Eternal in the Great American Stakes at Aqueduct. That he is a good horse Is positive, and the Kentucky Derby will either demonstrate his lKiing in the first flight or one of the second division. That he will le fit to race is assured, as Mr. Hogan knows how to point a horse for a stipulated event. At present he is mighty healthy and forward. Several of the two-year-olds have been nominated for the rich stakes to be decided this year, but, like all other trainers, Mr. Hogan has little to say concerning them. "Some of them may lx good, anil they may lie like a flock of Fords mixed up with a herd of Mercedeses," is the trainers remark. Unfortunately the stable has no regular jockey engaged, consequently Hogau will have to pick up his riders as best he can. Following is the list of horses in the I. A.
