SECOND STABLE OF THIS YEAR BIG TOTAL WON FOR COMMANDER J.K.L. ROSS BY BONIFACE, SIR BARTON, STAR VOTER, BILLY KELLY, LION J OR, BABY GRAND, MILKMAID ; AND OTHER STARS OF RACING This year tlie J. K. L. Ross stable was a powerful racing combination and won more money than in any previous year in its history, but the Whitney stable won more, so it was not given to Commander Ross to figure as the leading American owner for the third year in succession. At the outset of the racing year almost anyone of experience in racing matters would have piekefl Sir Barton as the probable best money winner of the stable, but this noted horse failed signally in that respeet and Boniface turned out to be its chief money gatherer. Trainer Bedwell seemed to experience difficulty in getting Sir Barton on edge and keeping him there, He was himself and u grand racer at Saratoga, but not afterward, particularly in his race with Man o War, Somewhat singularly Bedwell had Bomething like the same trouble with Cudgel in that other great horses last year in racing. Boniface proved himself a dependable race horse and justly ranks in the front rank of the handicap horses of the year. He was a noble weight carrier, gifted with ittne speed and a resolute and persistent finisher. Star Voter did the best of the two-year-olds and, in view of the way the young Star Shoots generally improve, jnny be one bf the star three-year-olds of 1921. Billy Kelly wus the same gallant warrior as always and never unplaced. Lion dOr proved himself not far from being the best sprinter of the year. Baby Grand did not wiii back his purchase price, but raced well and probably was profitable to his stable. Milkmaid could still race effectively, but showed some signs of declining .form. In all, the stable raced fifty-two horses and of these all but eight won money, but the 25,000 Sun Turrets modest contribution was only 00 in third money. The splendid filly Constancy went wrong early and deprived racing of an ornament. In all, the record of the stable was: , Horse. Col. and Sex. A.
