WINNING EN GLI SHB REE PIERS Eminent Sportsmen Who Raced Horses of Their Own Breeding Successfully This Year. For the second year in succession Lord Derby holds pride of place in the list of winning breeders with a total of 5,335, won by eighteen horses in thirty-one races, all with one exception belonging to him. The exception is Talbot, which contributed a minor sum to the aggregate. It should be said that so long as such a good type of sportsman continues to take an active interest in racing it will be all for the benefit of the sport, and none will begrudge the honors that come to him. Sir Robert Jardiue, who headed the list of winning owners, comes second in the breeders with 4,050, but here, without exception, all the animals that contributed to this sum arc still his own property. Mima, the Oaks winner, wns, of course, the chief contributor with the One Thousand Guineas and Coronation Stakes, Ascot, while she was only beaten a neck by Charlebelle for the Oaks. Dola won three good handicaps, and other useful ones were Sundart, Serapliic the filly by Lonawand Seraph, and Welsh Woman. Sir William Nelson, who is third with 8,205, made a big advance from the previous years total of 0,800. He had a slice of luck when Tangiers was awarded the Ascot Gold Cup on the disqiialifica- Hon of Buchan, but apart frcm that won some valu- able races, Tangiers and Attilius being responsible for over 0,000. Mr. W. Raphael is another gentleman who breeds J his own racers, among the most notable contributing to 5,395 being the disappointing Alienby, La I Voiture, Poltava and Bettina. . He won over 0,000 more in stake money than the prevous year. j Sir B. Hulton, who was second in the list in 1919, did not have quite so good a year, the total being 4,015 compared with 2,305, but the number of , races won was thirty-four, the same as last year. Silvern contributed the major portion of the money, 0,905. Elvera, belonging to Mr. Rhodes, Avon three races ih succession, and so did Corporal, the I sensational selling plater. Mr. J. J. Maher had chiefly to thank Caligula for the high position lie holds in the list, for the St. I Leger winner contributed altogether 9,705. Lord t Rosebery made a wonderful advance from 1920.sh,100 to 0,538, winning thirty-three races, each for moderate sums. Lord Astor declined slightly, Buchan being his chief contributor with 1,070, and Pompadour won ,945. The National Stud had a fairly good year, 8,815 being realized, well distributed over eighteen horses, and Mr. J. B. Joel wad credited with 7,090 against 1,340 last year, but Mr. S. B. Joel declined slightly, Racket and Chi-lo-sa being the best win- ! ners for him. Tetratema was Major D. MCalmonts best in a total of 3,020, while Mr. William Caz-alet, Lord Zetland,. Sir W. Cooke, Sir H. B. Bird, the late Sir M. Sykes and Sir John Robinson all had successful seasons. Sporting Chronicle. i i ; ; j j J i I I . I
