I LEONARDO II. AND HIS MATES . UNWIELDY BAND OF TWO- YEAR-OLDS WHICH RACED IN THE COLORS OF J. W. McCLELLAND, WITH THE HOPEFUL STAKES WINNER AS THEIR LEADER AND UNDEFEATED STAR Thirty-three horses raced in the name of J. W. McClelland this year, of which twenty-five were two-year-olds. None of the older horses was of much account in racing. But Leonardo II. was one of the two-year-olds. This son of Sweep and Ethel Pace was one of the stars of his age and, in that he also won all of his races, has a claim to dispute the two-year-old championship with Tryster. He started in four races and won them all. His first race was in a purse for maidens at Empire City July 14, in which lie ran five-eighths in 1:00 and Avon by eight lengths. At Saratoga August C lie won another purse at the same distance in 58 and finished five lengths in front of Hildur. August 20 he defeated Muttikins, Polly Ann and eight more at five and a half furlongs in 1:05, also a purse race. All of these races were a part of his preparation for the rich Hopeful Stakes. This lie won and ran its three-quarters over a slow track in 1:12, but with Prudery giving him twelve pounds, besides her sex allowance, had his work cut out to win from her by a head. Leonardo II. will race in the name of the Xalapa Farm Stable next year and, if all goes well with him, will probably clash with Tryster in the Kentucky Derby. When so many horses are in one stable it is almost inevitable that some of them are neglected and thereby prevented from . revealing their real gifts until some happy accident intervenes. The McClelland two-year-olds were bought regardless of price as yearlings and some now undistinguished may prove excellent three-year-olds. Bon Homnie showed himself to be a good colt after leaving the stable and others may do likewise next year. The record of the stable was: Horse. Col. and" Sex. A. Pedigree. 1st. 2d. 3d. Won.
