MAN 0 WAR AND GOLDEN BROOM Winner of Saratoga Special No Match for His Unbeaten Stablemate in Morning Trials BY EDWARD W COLK COLKSARATOGA SARATOGA SPRINGS N Y August 11 Not one but a number of horsemen and dockers have seen Man o War and Golden Broom work together During those works these men have seen Man o War gradually steal away from Golden Broom and at the end of threeeighths watched him open a gap of probably three lengths on Mrs Jeffords colt These same men are now asking themselves the question What sort of a colt must Man o War be beIn In the Saratoga Special Golden Broom made one of tjie best in the Whitney barn Wildair look lookalmost almost like a cheap plater Commander Ross best King Thrush was behind Wildair as was Bonnie Mary and Penelope supposedly the best eastern fil ¬ lies in the twoyearold division Some horsemen went so far as to intimate that when Man o1 War beat Golden Broom in their workouts the latter was hampered either by excessive weight or was not shod for the occasion This however is offset by the story told that Mike Daly lost 100 betting that Golden Broom would beat Man o War the first time they were sent out as a team Mike would hardly throw away 100 to insure the deception Yet one could hqrdly think it possible for a horse that won like Golden Broom did on Saturday could be so completely defeated single handed by any horse What made Saturdays race more impressive is the fact that he beat the pick of the Whitney stable In Wildair a colt in which James Rowe placed BO much confidence that it was said he had a much larger wager than usual on his chances It has also been asserted that Mr Rowe estimated Wildair to be a 50000 colt Mr Rowe knows horse values having trained some of the kings and queens of the turf He could hardly be so far wrong in his estimation of Wildair Summing up the whole thing it is not improbable that the two best colts since the days of Colin and Pair Play are racing this thisyear year BETTER THINGS EXPECTED OF CINDERELLA CINDERELLAPanoply Panoply heralded as the best of the Whitney fil ¬ lies appears to be training off somewhat She ran poorly in her last race arid unless Cob ¬ webs is at her best the western fillies will have a mortgage on at least some of the filly stakes Bon ¬ nie Mary may hold down the honors but there are doubts about her over a threequarters of a mile course Experts such as Frank Weir have their doubts about her holding on when the twoyearold distances are lengthened A filly which might be dangerous when the season is a little farther along is Cinderella Mr Coescood miss which promised so much in the early spring In the Saratoga Special she raced creditably considering the fact that she had not worked to the satisfaction of her trainer She has not shown me anything of late that war ¬ rants her winning said Mr Karrick She seems to be healthy enough but she has not the vim she had in the spring and I tried her for speed this meaning and she was all out to cover a quarter of a mile in a fraction wrso than 23 seconds That is nothing around this track as cheap platers can do that Shelwas sick during the last Belmont Park meeting and it may be she has not quite re ¬ covered her speed I know she can do better than that Jlft rlhe Saratoga SaratogajSpecial jSpecial Karrick was satisfied with her effort as she beat Panoply and finished within a length of Bonnie Mary Judging from the Karrick conversation it might be intimated that Cinderella will eventually prove an obstacle in the way of filly honors when at her best especially from the additional remark of Mr Karrick while at Empire City one day when he said I would not exchange Cinderella for any of the fillies I then saw working at Saratoga He is evidently con ¬ vinced she can do better than she has shown recently
