OFFER OF 09,000 FOR SIRE FAIR PLAY Syndicato of. Breeders Anxious to Securo Leading American Stallion of tho Year. LEXINGTON, Ky., October 21. There is an tin-confirmed report here that a syndicate of breeders has offered Major August Belmont 00,000 for the noted thoroughbred stallion, Fair -Play, by Hastings Fairy Gold. Fair Play is the sire of Man o War, champion two-year-old of the year, and Mad Hatter," winner of the Latonia Championship Stakes, Fair Play is the leading American sire of the present year, his progeny having won to date tho imposing total of S0,582, a sum greater than any other stallion has had to his credit since Commando headed the list in 1007 with 70,345. It is indeed not improbable that Fair Plays grand total for the year may surpass the 00,000 mark, notwithstanding that Man o War, the champion two-year-old and largest individual contributor to Fair Plays total, has been retired for tho year. Mad Hatter, winner of the. Latonia Championship Stakes, and several lesser lights are still in training, and with many more valuable races to be run at Laurel and Pimlico, as well as at Churchill Downs, there is every probability that they may bring their sires total winnings for the year up to or beyond the sum mentioned above. Altogether twenty-four sons and daughters of Fair Play have won races this year, they and their records being: as follows: Fair Play, ch. h. 1905, by Hastings Fairy Gold. Horse. Age.
