« * ■ i 1 J. E. MADDEN9 S WONDERFUL RECORD HORSES BRED AT HIS FAMOUS HAMBURG PLACE WIN 1,595 RACES DURING LAST FIVE YEARS-- HARRY PAYNE WHITNEY AND AUGUST BELMONT ALSO PROMINENT AMONG OUR AMERICAN BREEDERS As a breeder of successful thoroughbred race horses. John E. Madden stands pre-eminent in this country. During the last live years horses bred at his famous Hamburg Place in Kentucky have won 1,695 r.nes hut the various tracks of this country, Canada, Cuba and Mexico. It is a wonderful record, aaapproached by any uther breeder. Last year was Mr. Maddens greatest, boraea bred by him winning 424 races. In 1020 they WOB SIS; ill IMS, ..11: in 191s. 21.3, and in 1917, 334. Slice ess has not come to Mr. Maddea in a haphaaaard way — nothing was left to chance or link. A keen knowledge of the best bloodlines and then proper blending is in great measure the keynote of his sacceaa. Harry Payae Whitney i~ another Aatericaa breeder who has met with unciualified success. From 1017 to 1021 horses bred at his noted establishments in Ke Btocky and New Jeraay have won 846 races. Unlike Mr. Maddea, who sells the greater part of the output of Hamburg Place yearly, Mr. Whltaey races under his own colors the majority of the horses bred by him, only discarding those that fail to cc nil ini te the higk standard expected of the Whitney racers. Many of the stars of the last few years are included among the Whitney winners August Belasoat, chairman of the Jockey Club, has a total of 732 races won during the last five years by horses bred a; his Bated Nursery Stud iu Kentucky. One of the greatest horses of the century, Man o* War. was bred at the- Nursery Stud, and but for the fortunes of war, which led Mr. Bebaoat to dispose of Ins yearling! in 1919 and 1929, something he was got went to do prior to that time, he would have had not only the pleasure and pride of breeding, but also of racing, that celebrated liorse. However, Mr. BebjBOBt returns to tin races this year, and it is a premising band of royally -bred young horses that will carry his colors. They and their relatives in other stable* can be depended upon to uphold the reputation of Xu.-sciy seal sad add considerably in races won to the total now to the credit of their breeder. H. T. Oxnard. A. B. Spreckcl,, A. P.. Haacock, R. T. Wilson, C. W. Moore, E. R. Bradley and John Baaford are among other breeders who have seen year after year horses bred at their farms win a goodly share of the turf prizes. The climax of F. K. Bradleys career as a breeder came last year when two boraea he bred at his Idle Hour Fane— Behave YJooxself and Black Rerraat— lalahrU first and second in the Kent in ky Derby. In the li-1 of cur leading breeders of the last five years appears the name of the late James B. Haggin, at one time the owner of the largest breeding establishment iu the world, which is now fast disappearing and will soon he but a memory of Baal greatness. How heavy were the importations of foreign -bred horses to this country during and after the war may be readily perceived when it is pointed out that horses bred in England won 1,330 races in this country during tin last five years, while horses bred in France waa 724 races during the same period Maay of these horses are now in the stud and, when mated with the solid old American lines, are bound to further enhance the value of the American thoroughbred.
