BEST THREE YEAR OLD WINNERS SYSONBY IN 1905 AND MAN 0 WAR IN 1920 THE UNBEATEN ONES AND CHIEF MONEY EARN ¬ ERS OF SIXTEEN RACING YEARS In racing the threeyearold is the fruition of twoyearold promise The twoyearold becomes famous through the revelation of its possession of speed in its greatest measure It is left to the three yearold to demonstrate that in addition to this inheritance of superior speed is added stamina suflicient to enable it to stay successfully over any distance in reason Add to this the structural ability to carry high weight with eWe tills happy combination of such high qualities produced the great threeyearolds of our years Quite properly the great money spoils fell to the great threeyearolds Sysonby in 1905 and Man o War in 1920 were undefeated threeyearolds and race horses of the highest class They made their opponents look like pygmies in their years In money won they lead all American threeyearolds Colin might have surpassed theni both but for breaking down after winning the Hrt three races of threeyearold engagements that embraced the possibility of his winning more than Man o War did last year yearAccountant Accountant was an honest colt which had his way to big money and fame cleared when Hurgomaster broke down after winning the Carlton and Hclmont Stakes of laOU In JtlUi Peter Pan was a Vhnle and when he unluckily fell lame the whale called Hallot took up his work gloriously It was a year ot grand threeyearolds but the tvo Keene stars were best bestAfter After Colin disapi eared from racing in 1908 Fair Play came to the front and proved the years big money gatherer He was a line colt but Celt was his master giving him seven pounds and an easy beat ¬ ing in the Hrooklyn Handicap In 1100 Joe Madden was decidedly lucky in his engagements Fitz Her ¬ bert was much the best threeyearold and a regular topsawyer Sweep in 1910 Governor Gray in 1011 The Manager in 1912 Ten Point in 1913 Iloumer In 1914 and The Finn in 1915 were the leading threeyearolds in money won and in each case probably best in racing merit except in 1010 1010Friar Friar Rnck was the best threeyearold of 191t but consistent Dodge took the most money Fine threeyearolds were out in 1017 with Omar Khayyam carrying off the most moneywon honors His controversy with Hourless was one of the bright spots of the racing year Hourlcss gave him a licking in their memorable special race but it was a sureenough horse race Cudgel and Vesty Hogan were also great threeyearolds that year yearAfter After being beaten in ten consecutive races Jobren ripened and showed himself the newlight of a grand threeyearold in 1918 winning nine of his last twelve races and more money than any other horse of his age Sir Harton was the premier threeyearold of 1010 both in racing prowess and money won He was Star Shoots best son and a great racer but had a worthy and dangerous rival for a time in Purchase Here is a list of the ten leading moneywinning threeyearolds in each year from 1905 down to the present time and well worth considerate study 1905 St 1st 21 Sfi flip yvo 9 0 0 if JO 144380 7 3 4 42245 5 o i 33185 000 23320 23320r r r 10 2i8or 211 2170 1 2 21070 1
