LOFT STABLES MANY TRIUMPHS COLINS GOOD SON ON WAIVE IS THE BEST MONEY REAPER, BUT TIPPITY WITCHET, GERMA, PAPP, DONNACONA AND LESSER LIGHTS ASSIST WITH USEFUL CONTRIBUTIONS The two-year-old On Watch was the most successful money winner in the G. W. Loft stable of 1919. Although winner of a purse race at the Pimlico spring meeting, he did not ripen into his best form until later in the year. October 1 he won another purse at Laurel, then, on October S. showed himself a colt to be considered when he defeated Blazes, Constancy, AVildair and Carmandale at three-quarters in 1:12 at the same track in the National Stakes. Then he was sent out to Latonia to run in the Queen City Handicap at a mile and, -with 122 pounds up, defeated the Hower of the western two-year-olds and won by four lengths in 1:4B"J5 over a- lleavy track, with Kinburn second. The Swimmer was third and seven unplaced. Beturning to Laurel, he carried 120 pounds in a mile dash for a fat purse, October 22, and defeated Constancy, Damask, Smart Guy and Kallipolis in 1:40. His last race was in the ,500 Laurel Stakes for all ages at a mile, in which he was unplaced to The Porter, Billy Kelly and Sun Briar. He is unquestionably the best Colin has sent into racing and an augury of better still to come from that celebrated horse. Next to him in money won was the little gelding Tippity Witchet, which came out in the fall in something like "liis fine two-year-old form and scored some notable triumphs. Genua was its other best two-year-old in money won, but the Prince Palatine colt, Donnacona, in the opinion of good judges, is of the improving sort and destined to high rank as a .three-year-old next year. As a whole the Loft stable had a satisfactory year, its total of 5,017 comparing favorably witli its lesser earnings of 9,253 in 1918. Its record was: Horse. Col. and Sex. A. Pedigree. 1st. 2d. 3d.
