HIGH PRICED YOUNGSTERS Costly Yearlings of 1929 Prospective Contestants for This Years Juvenile Prizes. NEW YORK, N. Y., April S. Metropolitan racing should bring several of the highest priced of last years Saratoga sales yearlings in action at Belmont Park in May and June, if not all save one of the nine that brought 0,000 and over., These horses are all two-year-olds now. The 2,000 Sir Gallahad III. Starflight colt, for which Charles E. Dur-nell paid 2,000 on the account of G. H. Watkins of St. Louis, when everybody thought he was acting for W. T. Waggoner of Texas, has no Belmont Park spring dates. It was naturally assumed last August that Durnell was bidding cn this colt for Waggoner because the Texan had paid 5,000 the August before for a half-brother of the Sir Gallahad III. colt, a horse that has yet to win fame under the name of Broadway Limited. If he makes good the Sir Gallahad III. colt will be at Belmont Park in the fall. The 5,000 Man o War Milky Way, 6,-000 Epinard Mary Belle, and 6,500 Buchan Tracdes colts of the P. T. Chinn consignment and the 3,000 Sir Gallahad III. Venturesome II. colt sold by Arthur B. Hancock are in the Keene Memorial, Juvenile and National Stallion Stakes at the big track. The son of Whisk Broom II. Royal Dispatch, for which Hancock got 0,000, is in the National Stallion and the Juvenile Stakes, as are the Bubbling Over Peroration colt, for which he got 3,000, and the Bubbling Over Humanity colt, for which Chinn got 0,000. The Sir Gallahad III. Erne filly, for which Hancock got 1,500, is in the three richly dowered colt stakes and the Fashion, a dash of four and a half furlongs, restricted to fillies, as well. The Man o War colt, tops of the sales of last August, fell to the bid of Mrs. Charles Amory, of Baltimore, who races under the name of the Sagamore Stable. Another woman, Mary L. Crawford, owns the Epinard Mary Belle colt which has been named Follow Thru ; young John Hay Whitney the Whisk Broom II. Royal Dispatch colt, for which the name Purple Dust has been claimed and allowed ; William Zieg-ler the Buchan Tracedes colt ; Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt Fair Stable, the son of Bubbling Over and Peroration ; Henry C. Phipps, the daughter of Sir Gallahad III. Erne ; Mrs. Helen Hay Whitney, the son of Bubbling Over Humanity. This fellow is to be known as Laughing Boy, the same being a right good name for a youngster of his parentage. No two-year-old that will race this year has a more appropriate name than the Sir Gallahad III. Venturesome II. colt, which is the property of Herbert Bayard Swope, and who calls him Parsifal. It will be dead easy to name the Sir Gallahads that will be coming to racing steadily now from Hancocks Claibourne stud, where that handsome son of Teddy Plucky Leige in which Hancock, William Woodward, R. A. Fairbairn and Marshall Field are all interested, is breeding famously. Breeders and buyers of Sir Gallahad yearlings have only to consult their Round Table tales. The supply of names, masculine and feminine, to be found in Mbrte dArthur is practically inexhaustible and all may be appropriately used.
