Here and There on the Turf May Invade English Turf Mr Madden May Take TakeRacers Racers There Feats of Kilmarnock and andDavid David Garrick With ths announcement of JShn E Madden that he is to retire as a public breeder and give more attention to racing it would not be surprising if he made another invasion of the English turf before long Mr Madden has said in all sincerity that he will sell his brood mares until he has Hamburg Place reduced to about thirtyfive from which he will breed horses to race under his own silks silksJohn John E Madden is one American sportsman who is not awed by talk about the excellence of the English horse as compared with the American product He has contended that the American brood mare is the bsst in the world and thinks the time will come when this coun ¬ try will become a thoroughbred nursery from which the studs of England France Australia and South America will be enriched In this he points out the success that has attended i many of the American mares and the cases of Rhoda B dam of Orby and Armenia dam of Durbar IL two Epsom Derby winners are cited citedIroquois Iroquois son of Leamington and Maggie B B showed the English sportsmen the stuff of L which the American thoroughbred is made In 1901 Madden went to England with a couple of Americanbred horses Kilmarnock and David Garrick They were both fouryear olds and by no means rated as American cham ¬ pions In fact Madden says he knows that Kilmarnock was not an extra good horse but racing for W C Whitney he won the Alexan ¬ dra Plate at about three miles under 126 pounds and ran second to Santoi in the Ascot Gold Cup while David Garrick carrying 122 pounds and racing for P Lorillard was the winner of the Chester Cup at two miles and 1 a quarter quarterAnd And those were strictly American bred Kil ¬ marnock was a son of Sir Dixon and Miss Used UsedJaconet Jaconet the dam of Sir Dixon was a sister to Iroquois being a daughter of Leamington and Maggie B B BMiss Miss Used the dam of Kilmarnock was r daughter of The IHUsed and Madcap i daughter of Matador and Feu Fclbt FclbtBut But David Garrick was more American than his stabematc He was a son of Hanover and Peg Woffington Hanover in his male line traced back to Glcncoe being a son of f Hindoo by Virgil a sen of Vandal by Glen coe Bourbon Bzlle the dam of Hanover was s a daughter of Bonnie Scotland and Ella D a daughter of Vandal VandalThen Then Peg Woffington was a daughter of f Longfellow eon of Leamington while her dam was Balht a daughter of Planet by Revenue This was purely American blood on both sides of the house and it is blood to which the most successful brood marcs of the country trace traceIt It would not be at all surprising if Madden made up his mind to again take a fling at the English turf and if he does it will be with better horses than either David Garrick or Kilmarnock but his stock will probably have Maggie B B somewhere in its blood lines
