PARKVIEW STABLE HORSES Eleven Thoroughbreds to Carry Mrs. George B. Coxs Colors In Racing of 1927. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. April 1.— Mrs. George B. Cox of Cincinnati, owner of the Parkview Stable, who is making a tour of the world, writes from Cairo, Egypt, that she expects to be back in the United States in time to witness the Kentucky Derby. A short time ago she instructed her trainer, W. Covington, to reserve a private box for her at Churchill Downs for the spring meeting. The Parkview Stable, which has wintered well at Churchill Downs in the care of trainer Covington, numbers eleven horses. Mrs. Cox did not increase the string last fall by many purchases, as site does not care to have an establishment larger than the one she now possesses. The stable is headed by the good handicap horse Rhinock. now a four-year-old. He gives every promise of being one of the best stake horses on the Kentucky circuit this year. His only early stake engagement is in the Grainger Memorial at Churchill Downs, but at Latonia he is more liberally engaged. The six-year-old Energy is still a member of the establishment and one of the best of the band. According to trainer Covington. Energy has gotten over the bad temper that made him notorious as a bad actor in recent years and is now as tractable as any member of the stable. The horse, which has proved to be a sprinter only, will engage all season in high class overnight handicaps at sprint distances, not having been entered in any stakes. The remainder of the stable includes Royal Omar and Christmas Morning, noted mud-ders. Sola Mia, Romeda. Benito. Blonde Beauty and two two-year-olds. The latter are good lookers and were costly purchases at the Saratoga sales. Both were bought out of the Hancock consignment. Noble Wrack, a bay colt by Wrack — The Marchioness, by Sain, and a half brother to San Quentin. cost Mrs. Cox 0,000. while Keith, a bay colt by McGee — Lithia, by Ingoldsby, and a brother to Bell Boy, cost ,300. In their early trials both youngsters convinced their trainer that the high prices paid for them were justified. When asked if they can run Covington declared, "They have nothing but speed." »
