CARLARIS EARLY TRAINING ! + — Was Had at Douglas Park Course e Under Charles Patterson. a. , Louisville Patrons of Thorough hreds Proud .1 of Colt— To Be Shipped to Downs fcr the Derby. ♦ . LOHISVILLK. Ky.. April 1.— There is no I city in the country that has watched the meteoric rise to fame of W. T. Andersons s wonder colt Carlaris than Louisville, for it was in this city that the son of Phalaris and I Carnival were broken and given the early training that has turned out to be a triumphant racing career. Douglas Fark, one of the local courses, was ■ the scene of the colts kindergarten months, ■• and it was there that Charles K Fatterson 1 put him through his early pace. After W. T. Anderson purchased Carlaris ■ at the Saratoga sales in August, 1924, he turned him over to Fatterson, trainer for r 1*. T. Chinn, who brought him to Douglas I Park, where he was to remain during the J winter months to be broken and trained 1 together with other yearlings that were the property of Mr. Chinn. To Pattersons painstaking care and ability r as a trainer of young horses is due not a i little of the success attained by Carlaris. . Patterson knew that he was handling a i first-rate colt, and so did most trainers at t the track know it after the colt had begun i to display speed in his trials. MADE DEFERS FOR OLT. Bert Williams and Alex Gordon, both experienced horsemen, were among the number •f who observed something about the colt that t stamped him as one of high class, and they , both made tempting offers to owner Anderson, only to be tedd that the colt was not for . sale. Laat May Carlaris was returned to Anderson, who placed him in charge of Fred I Kraft, his trainer, and the colt, together with L the stables other horses, was shipped East. Nothing further was heard of Carlaris until I he was started in a maiden race at Empire . City, in which he was unplaced. The following . October the Anderson stable was 5 brought to Churchill Downs, and on October . 21 he was started in a maiden race. It was . over a sloppy track, and Carlaris finished [ second, being beaten five lengths by Frederick . Johnsons .Bumpkin. This was the colts , only start in Kentucky, and at the end of j the Downs meeting he-, together with the , other of the stables horses, was placed 1 aboard the cars for the long overland journey . to Tijuana. His brilliant record at the Mexican track is well known to every lover of the thoroughbred, . and needs no recounting here. Continued on sixteenth page CARLARIS EARLY TRAINING Continued from first page According to information just received j , from Mr. Anderson. C.arlaris will shortly arrive at Churchill Downs ready to fill his Kentucky Derby engagement. Charles Patterson is proud of the achievements of Carlaris, and knowing the colt so well, he has no hesitation in declaring that he is destined to be one of the countrys greatest horses. Patterson is still at Douglas Park, where he has been all winter preparing the horses of P. T. Chinn for the spring and summer campaigns. He has a number of promising t wo-ycar-olds in his care, but none that have showed up as well in their preparation as • lid the Anderson colt. However. Patterson is handling some really good horses, and these will be campaigned on the Kentucky tracks this year. In addition to those the property of Mr. Chinn, the stable comprises a number of horses that are the property of other owners. The best of these is probably Malcolm B. Jr.. an intended starter in the Kentucky Derby ii the colors of William C. Baxter, New York sportsman. The stable also includes Raymond Dale, another Derby eligible belonging to Mr. Chinn. but this colt is ne»t being trained with a iew of starting him in the Downs c lassie. Malcolm B. Jr. is a brown colt by Torch-bearer — Myrtle V., and performed well as a two-year-old, having a number of races to his credit. He his wintered in good style, anel is taking his Derby training in a most satisfactory manner. Hher three-year-olds in the stable are Critical Moments and Heavenly, both by High Time, sire of Saraxen, and Torch. The •tabic also contains eleven promising two-y.-ar-olds. the majority of which were bred by Mr. Chinn at Himyar Stud. These youngsters are a fine looking aggregation. and are well advanced in their training. They have bene c-ntere-d in all of the Kentucky stakes to which they are eligible. •
