well been taught this golden rule All Of the colts bar one are by Celt the outsider a chestnut by the best of his year Cock o the Walk Where does the Hanover come in was my first query None in him was the response Anyway he looks it Just the same style two whites in rout short from coupling to tail and his dam imported Fairy Ray by the English Cup horse Radium and a taking colt in every way Next on

Triple Crown winner Gay Crusader are all well supplied with this Marco strain Nothing gaudy nothing showy Just a re li race horse and it must riot be forgotten that the Barcaldine of Marco is returned to the Barcaldine of llavouriieen grandam of Celt It was ah Arab If hink who when asked concerning a certain horse replied Ask his dam One does not need to ask the Sand Dune colt Go look at Sand Dune iherself A better balanced better finished colt than this will not be seen at Saratoga Indeed it is hard to fault him Patricia IV by the Derby Winner Ard Patrick has a lusty brown a Celt of course something on the Ard Patrick order though molded of finerclay and of better finish maybe lie will be the best threeyearold of1 the lot Who knows Anyway he is big enough strong enough tand wellbred enough to be so The Dark Water colt I know will make many friends and attract plenty of admiration Of the Ayrshire type his dam Dark Water is by Dark Ronald grandson of Hampton from iDoon Water by Hamptoirs son Ayrshire Indeed Hampton by right is his inheritance and this Hahipton strain lie pleased to remember is particularly effective ah he Adams sl3e Persimmons dam was Perr dita II Flair daughter of Glare Cicero son of GAS and so no The Celt Star Lady colt a chest ¬ nut is as good as any ones colt and improves on acquaintance In another stable we were intro ¬ duced to the mediumsized

and great brood mare Quintessence by St Serf Tills youngster is the pick of at least one of our party Commend me also to the black Dont forget this years Derby winner Grand Parade showed a pajr pf dusky heels to all pursuers POPULAR LOGISTILLA REPRESENTED REPRESENTEDA A son of Orowoc by Hamburg sire of Regrets dam Jersey Lightning and Celt sired Coquette and Celandria from the Hamburg mare Adriana Oro wocs dam is Yankee Girl sister to Running Water hy Sir Dlion from Ricochet by Musket Nothing like so made as others something on the sappy schoolboy order but these Musket horses or those which show the Musket strain close up ripen some what slowly and here is the frame on which to build for threeyearold use The fleetfooted Dainty Dame and the heroine of many a hard fought battle Xiogistilla are the dams of asllkely a pair of chestnuts as any would wish to see For jny part I prefer the true made sizable Logis tiila to the speedy made youngster son of Dainty Dame Opinions differ and I rather think the pop ¬ ular vote is against me today Time however alonei can tell and I must reserve a bit ot space for the ladies of which five out of the seven are daughters pf Celt I Clara Atlcln has a most attractive well muscled brown Network a sister to Embroidery and a half dozen more bigger and better than Embroidery I thought Wonderful old mart Network You should see her She is twentyone never a wrinkle and still they come Celt and Hanover union again in the Honey Dee filly and this a winning combi ¬ nation and a really taking filly besides The same thing over again in the case of Lady Godivas chestnut daughter Only one thing could the Duke of Beaufort be certain of in horse breeding and tills speed in the dam was absolutely essential to success A good rule to follow What then of Follie Levys bay The international winner Sir Martin is represented by a chestnut daughter dam Gelee by Isjnglass What about the Eclipse Herod Matcheia blend here with the Ogden Han ¬ over and Isinglass strains all inclose proximity 1 know they are all good but Marie Claire s brown by Hamburg has a fascination for me hard to dis ¬ pel a La Flecha look about her a something that denotes the race mare worth anything too for paddock use but whats the use unless you ap ¬ preciate the value ot a pedigree lt is the hardest thing in the world to break olt thinking and writing about these racers in the mak ing but take it fronx me these Ellerslie young ¬ sters are veU look well are well bred and have been well raised EXlLJii
