WHITE BUDS AMAZING WIN First Mare to Take Lincolnshire in Period of Twenty-Two Years. Raujrlitjr of White Kagie and Mine Own. by Minorii — Started Thirteen Tiines 1 urine Last A ears Racine Without Scorinp. MY K B. COUSSELI. LONDON. England. March 23.— The Hrst hip rae o of tlio flat racinp season of 1923 ended in a tremendous surprise. A man-won, and she was the first to do so for twonty-two years. White F.ud staggered the racing world by winning the Lincolnshire Handicap at the forlorn odds of 66 to 1. The Lincoln winners in the last four years have l»een at such long prices as Furious. to 1 : Soranus. 2,3 to 1 ; Iranhy. 20 to 1. Now White Bud at 66 to 1 rubs it in. A favorite has not won for nearly ten years. The "wonder" horse. Tons of Money, was not in the first sixteen. Other big public fancies in Port Iloyal and Argo were well out contention, as was Donoghues mount. Vivaldi, which became the last minute favorite. Precious, which had won the previous day. was also heavily supported. He ran well for his distance, just over five-eighths, and then faded out. The honors went to Fioman Bachelor, top weight with 120 pounds. He beat every horse except the winner. She took the lead 100 atds frcm the finish and won by a length. White Bud was receiving thirty-seven pounds. Soval. which finished third, was as big a surprise as the winner. He is an uncertain beast and neither the stable nor the public-would trust him. He was beaten half a length. He won as a two-year-old and then lead two blank seasons. He was successful 1922. WKSTMKAI FIMSHKS FOVRTH. Wcstmead. which cost his owner ,200 last December, ran snatchily and finished fourth, with Bcyal Alarm just behind him. The latter, a good-looking son of The Te-trarch. failed in the last eighth. He will make a handsome stallion. White Bud was well and confidently ridden by J. Beasley. His coolness called for much commendation, considering it was only his cond public mount. Her trainer fancied her chance and it is reported her owner had l.iir win. having supported his mare at odds like 100 to 1. Bast year "White I.ud started thirteen times Without winning. Her best form was to tun second in the Cosfort Park Cap of live-eighths. Indeed, she had been generally regarded as a sprinter. She is a bay six-year-old mare, by White Kagle. She was bred at the National Stud in Ireland and is the first foal of Mine Own. White Bud brought only " 0 when sold as yearling at .Newmarket. She wen her first race as a two-year-oid and another later in the year. The next year she was successful in a live-eighths handicap, but ran a time or two over a mile without making a show. WHITE BID UIX0I *S.2:,0. As a four-year-old White Bud was sold at auction at York, in May. for .250. She was a partnership mare and one of the partners bought her. For him she we it a live-eighths race and ran second twice. East ye-ef she- did manage to take second place in a mile race, but it was at a small Scottish meeting. Mine Own is by Minoru. King Edwards second Derby winner. He was sold to Bussia for 0,000. Minehart dam of Mine Own, -.as the first foal of Tully Bass which bred good race horse and indifferent sire in Mister King. He got good-looking stock, but most of them were not over fond of racing, so he was sold to Germany after the war. Minehart won a couple of races and has had ciRth foals which could have raced. Her only winner is The Hun by Minoru. As a result she was drafted out of the National Stud for 50 in December. 191C Tom Welsh in September, 1910. at Newmarket paid . 00 for a yc at ling filly by Royal Realm, out of Minehart. She was export, d ti the Inited States. If she is alive the success of White Bud will be welcome news to her owner. Tully l.ass is by Isinglass — Jullia. by IV- trare h ■- "hex isaunce. a sister to Boril Byon and Achievement, winne-rs of the Derby. Oaks. St. Legtr twe . Two Thousand Guineas and One- Thousand Guim-as. he - visaur.ee bred .lannetle. which won the- Oaks and St. Eegcr and fifteen other races. This is the- same family as Badas. Cicero. Flair. Btshia. Neil Gow. Wrack, Magpie. Yauclusc- and Prince Palatine. It goes without saying that it is one of the most brilliant female line:- in the stud book. Roman Pachelor. like his conqueror, was bred in Ireland. He is owned and traine-d -x Irishmen. A good-lookinp son of Bachelors Double, he is the fifth and last foal of Agusta. a mare of Egetton. She was sold to the- army in 1!»17. He is her only runner. Agusta was of no use on the turf. Her dam, Gustaioga. from four to seven y.ars old. ran in twenty-txvo races in Ireland, winning live of them over distances from one-lei four miles. She was by Atheling. which eventually went to the Inited States. The third, fourth and fifth dams all failed to win or breed a winner. Indeed, there has been no winner of any consequence coming from this female line for close upon eighty yeats. No doult much f the merit of Roman Bachelor was Inherited from his gcod sire. Anyxvay. Ireland scored heav.ly In supply- I ing three of the first four horses in the Lincolnshire. White Bud is the seventh mare to win the big handicap since it irac inaugurated seventy years ago. The- others were: Bel Esperanza. 18." 9 : Gaily. 186.".; Sycee. IStJ.i : Footstep. 1877; Bosy Ori.ss..isso ; and Little Eva, 1901. White Bud xvould not make a good impression in the shoxv ring. She is iopeared. rather angular and lacking in quality. She turns in slightly 1km- oft" fore foot. She is almost a whole colored bay, with a star and a slight race half way doxvu her face. As Lord Derbys good filly Selene is from a mare by Minoru. it looks as though the lat-. ters daughters ate worth attention. "he-rare only ten fan the stud book and half of them are dams of xvinners.
