Roscoe Goose, who has gained much deserved renown for the development of jockeys, having brought out the Louisville rider, Elmer James, who he disposed of in 1930 to Joseph Leiter of Chicago, for a tidy sum, and Gilbert Elston, a Helena, Mont., lad, whom Mose Goldblatt secured the papers on last winter and is the leading jockey of 1932 at present, has received the names of the five two-year-olds that the racing firm of Laffoon and Yeiser will campaign this season. Polk Laffoon is a member of the Kentucky State Racing Commission, and resides in Covington, while Mr. Yeiser is a Cincinnati business man. They conduct a breeding farm in Kenton county besides racing mostly the produce of their own mares and stallions. The youngsters are Shepherd Boy, a chestnut colt by Hildur Peggy Weaver; Field Goal, brown colt, by Busy American Babe K.; Colonel Hatfield, brown gelding, by Hildur Chatterdrum and two fillies, Tea Topics, brown filly, by Busy American Alberta S. and Tea Frock, chestnut- filly, by Busy American Poedie. Goose has made good as a trainer since he forsook the saddle for his present vocation, and in the few years that he has been training horses, trained for Johnson N. Camden, Laffoon and Yeiser, E. M. May and horses belonging to himself. At the present time he has the older horses, South Seas, Mendell and Hard Lines at the Downs for E. M. May, who resides in Cincinnati.
