HERTZ STOCK FARM First Foal Arrives at the Newly Established Leona Stud. Twenty-five Mares and Stallion Luke McLuke Nucleus of Chicago Sportsmans Venture. The first thoroughbred foal of the year at the Leona Farm, owned by Mrs. Fannie K. Hertz of Chicago is a filly by Blink from Paquerette, born on January 29. In addition to being an early foal, this filly marks the beginning of important thoroughbred horse production at Leona Farm, Cary III. During less than two years more than twenty-five mares and fillies of fashionable lineage have been gathered as the result of careful selection, here and abroad, to serve as a nucleus for the breeding and racing estaDlishments to be maintained there. The premier sire of this nursery for thoroughbred horses is Luke McLuke, already having many winners to his credit and a great race horse himself. During his career in training he never was out of the money and was proclaimed the champion three-year-old of 1914, when his victories included the Kentucky Handicap, one and one-quarter miles in 2:02, and the Belmont Stakes, one and three-eighths miles in 2:20, carrying 12U pounds. Luke McLukes sire was Ultimus, an inbred son of Domino and a magnificent individual that never started, having ruptured a ligament in training as a two-year-old, but lie was afterward sold at public auction for 6,000.
