NUMEROUS CHICAGO OWNERS ♦ Windy City Stables Entries in Arlington Stakes Formidable. o Increase in Residents of Chicago Who Have Formed Baring; Stables Noticeable In Recent Years. ♦ That Chicago owned stables are going to play an important part in the racing at the Arlington Park meeting, that begins July 1, is evident by the numerous entries their owners have made to the various rich stakes to be decided during the course of the meeting. And the large number that have requested ■table reservation at the track serves to bring to mind forcibly the constantly growing and substantial interest that Chicagoans are taking in thoroughbred racing. This is illustrated by the many local additions to the owners ranks in the past few years. Five or six years ago when racing in the Chicago district was revived at Hawthorne, there were less than twenty-five racing establishments that could be classed as Chicago owned. Now there are over sixty that are the property of citizens of this city, or its adjacent towns. These stables could supply-enough racing material for the conduct of a successful race meeting without the assistance of any outside racing establishments. And for size and quality a number of them will bear comparison with the best in the country. It was the stable of Mrs. John D. Hertz that gave to the country Reigh Count, Kentucky Derby winner, and champion three-year-old of 192* ; and also Anita Peabody, largest money winning horse in America in 1927. The stables of Stuyvesant Peabody, H. T. Archibald, Marshall Field, J. J. Cough-lin, F. M. Grabner, and John R. Thompson, Jr., have also done their part in bringing Chicago to the attention of the racing world. Other stables that have helped to enhance Chicagos fame are those of Otto W. and E. J. Lehmann, Val Crane, Laurance Armour, Morris Vehon, Mose and Jake Lowenstein, R. J. and M. A. Nash, W. J. Curran, Mrs. E. L Swikard, L. M. Severson, congressman Stanley Kunz, Ben Rosenheim, C. W. Bidwill and Mrs. E. Denemark. Among others, including a number that have only recently embarked in racing as owners, may be enumerated Eugene Byfield, Mrs. Roy Car-ruthers, Mrs. P. P. Flaherty, Louis Weiss, Mrs. Leigh Talliaferro, R. F. Carey, M. B Cohen, H. R Curran. Kallisdidit Stable, Otto Berz. A- J. Hefferan, J. H. Manheimer, H. G. Goelitz, Jr.. S. W. Klein. George N. Cardozo, F. W. Gilliland, John Marsch, M. Deatherage, H. C. Herendeen, Rold Brothers, W. C. Reichert, John Greenebaum, and Frank Wright, of McLeansboro. 111. Death recently deprived local racing of two of its most active and popular owners in the persons of Lou M. Newgass and Harry L. Crain. They were among the pioneers of racing in Chicago.
