ENGLISH HORSES SHELVED Arion, The Vizier and Stefan the Great Follow Buchan Into Retiremerit. vv.i. V irfBE.. COUSSEEX; LONDON; England, October S.XtTer BucJiaiT-won the Dpncaster Cup it was intended to retire him to the stud. This decision- was revised hud. it was decided to let htmrun In the 5,000 Jockey Club Stakes. He wns all right "when he left for Newmarket, hut like so many of his stable companions he developed a cough and wns withdrawn the morn-lintfof the race. Buqhan goes to the stud forthwith at a. fee of ,000. Within forty-eight hours his list for 1921 was filled and within a week an announcement was made that the sou of Sunstar is also booked full for 1922 and 1023. Buchan was a most unlucky race horse, but for Indifferent Jockeyship he would have won several more important races. Another young horse to retire is Stefan the Great, by The Tetrarch Perfect Peach, by Persimmon. He won the Middle Park Plate, but damaged his hock when running in the .Two Thousand Guineas ill 1919. His fee has been fixed at 70 and nearly all available subscriptions for .1921 have, been taken. Stefan is brother to Sarchedon, a particularly good looking colt, whose chief characteristic is speed. An Irish syndicate, of which Lady Greenall is a member, has been for some time most auxious tlie horse should stand for service, in Ireland. I believe a price option in a lease was the difficulty, but this lias been overcome. I know a New Zealand offer of 0,000 was refused some months ago, so assume the price of Sarchedon is in the neighborhood-of 00,000 perhaps more. Arion, a big, good looking. son of Yalens. which last season won the Jubilee Stakes, Newbury Summer Cup and the Liverpool Cup, proved difficult to train in 1920. He is ndvertised for stud service tn 1921 at the moderate fee of 5. The Vizier, nn-other good looking colt by Valens and exceptionally well bred on the dams side, has also gone to the stud. He ran third" to Pommern in the Two Thousand Guineas, and won come good races. His winnings amount to 7,425. He comes of the snihe family as Phalaris, Laveno, Eager and other high-. class winners and sires. His fee will be 5. Rich Gift, by Saxham by Desmond Berne, by Buckingham Galopin, from the dam of Fariman, won numerous races and has been thought good enough to be given a chance at the stud. His fee is fixed at 90. Galloper Light rapped himself Inst week and lias probably run his last race. . Nothirig definite has been announced as to his retirement to Mr. A. de Rothschilds stud farm at Leighton Buzzard. Cinua, which won the One Thousand Guineas and ran second in the Oaks, lias hurt her hocks and been taken from training, as has Keysbe, the St. Leger winner of 1919.
