WHISKAWAY FOR STUD DUTY To Serve Few Selected Mares in the Spring and May Be Put in Training Later in Year. LOUISVILLE, Ky.,- Jan. 25. George Barnes, who trains the horses of C. W. Clark and superintends his breeding farm, said a few days ago that he would give Whiska-way a chance with a few selected matrons this spring and may be trained later. Whisk-away is probably as fast a horse as there is In America when in a running mood, but since his wonderful performance when he beat Thibodaux, Morvich and Pillory in the La-tcnia Special in 1922, he has been inclined to sulk in most of his races. It was not until after that race that he was bought by Mr. Clark at a reported price of 25,000, one of the record prices paid for a horse in training in America. Many critics attribute Whiskaways surly actions to the excessive training he received In preparation for the event in which he dethroned Morvich ; others say it is hereditary, he being a brother to the erratic Flags, which has a reputation of being one of the bigge3t rogues that ever raced in the "West.
