j PIMLICO FUTURITY OF 1S22 Over Seven Hundred Entries in Marylands Richly Endowed Race for Two-Year-Olds. The Maryland Futurity of 1922. with its 40.000 added, is bound to be one of the most coveted prizes of .the racing of that year. It closed November S with 70." nominations. A striking feature of its big entry list is the number of impending young stallions from which much is expected thron-li their progeny. Among them are Kenneth I. Alexanders Escoba. G. L. ISlackfor.ls Prince Herniis. E. R. ISradleys North Star II.. .lohn S.iu-fords George Smith, August Belmonts Hourless, Willis Sharp". Kilmers Sun Briar. L. A. Lynes Woimleightoii. John K. Maddens The Finn. H. P. Whitneys Chicle and K. T. Wilsons Campfire. all names with good credentials for stud success. A pleasing item is the reappearance of the name of August Belmont as a nominating owner. He is represented by five colts and two fillies by Fair Play and a colt and filly by Hourless. J. K." L. Boss has twenty-nine entiies, all of which aie of his own breeding, significant of the fact that he will ptoently be raising his own race liorses. By 1923 he should have a good crop by Cudgel to exalt over. His entries now are in the main by the well-tried sire Marathon and the young English horses Fitzwilliam and HilHiampton. If it should prove the go:id fortune of Commander Boss to carry off this big race, he will be the beneficiary of that one of its conditions which reads, "An additional ..", 000, of which ,000 to the winner and ,000 to the breeder of the winner, will be added by the Jockey Club, if the colt or filly is the product of a mare served in Maryland and foaled there." Wlien Sir Barton becomes a stud-niate of Cudgel and Marathon, owner Boss should not be long alxnit sending some great home products into racing. John Sanford certainly has an international entry list. In his nomination of twelve he has colts by Babelais, Nassovian, Kocktou. Marathon. Spanish Prince IL. George Smith and Ecouen, and fillies by Sunstar, Tracery, Uncle. George Smith and Short Grass. There is certainly variety here and there should be a touch of high quality as well. Harry Payne Whitney has forty-eight nominations with tiie singularity of not one of them being by Peter Pan. Evidenly the sire of Tryster was in disfarar for a time. But the untried sire Chicle has been given a good chance with ten sons and daughters entered. Evidently this son of SiM-armint and Iidy Hamburg is well thought of at the home farm. The great stallion Broomstick has a representation of seventeen, made up of six colts and eleven fillies. One of the latter is a daughter of the crack filly of a few years back, Rosie OGrady. One of the Chicle colts is a son of the famous Regret. For her fame it would be appropriate to-find him winning the Kentucky Derby, when his time conies.
