The decision of Mr. Victor Emanuel to retire from racing in this country necessitates the dispersal of the famous Dorwood Stable and affords prospective purchasers an opportunity to secure well bred, meticulously selected thoroughbreds, carefully trained and ready to win races. From the date of its organization the Dor- wood Stable has annually sent forth win-J ners. In 1931, the last year it was in opera-I tion, thirty-two winners, fifteen seconds and twelve thirds carried the blue and white polka-dot silks and earned 5,920. The majority of the horses comprising the stable are particularly desirable by reason of the fact that with the exception of the three steeplechasers, only one is more than three years old, and their best years are before them. No less than twenty are two- year-olds, divided as to sex, fourteen colts and six fillies. These juveniles are by successful and pop-I ular sires. Four of the colts and one of the fillies are by the speedy Morvich, unbeaten as a two-year-old and victorious in the Ken- tucky Derby at three. Morvichs stock are deservedly popular, as without exception they are fast, and in 1931 two of his sons, Morfair and Morstone, were high class stake winners. Among the two-year-olds the following have been universally admired as they have gone through their training: Appellant, a bay colt by Zev, from Whim, by Broomstick ; Crack Flyer, a bay colt by My Play, from. Crack o Doom, by Ultimus; Moralist, a bay colt by Crusader, from Barenka, by Catmint; Bronz Park, a brown colt by Macaw, from Lady Davis; Indicator, a brown colt by Wildair, from Binnacle, by Alan o War; and Ayston, a brown colt by Black Servant, from Kitty Williams, by Granite. The flat horses past two years of age number but three. What they lack in number is counterbalanced in class. In Morfair prospective bidders are being offered one of the outstanding three-year-olds of the year. A chestnut colt by Morvich. from Mor-maw, by Fair Play, he is Morvich s best contribution to racing to date. He was one of the best two-year-olds in training in 1931, winning 5,400. His victory in the United States Hotel Stakes was his most meritorious performance in which he beat Tick On, Universe, etc., although he won the Futurity Trial, six furlongs in 1:10%, carrying 125 pounds. His defeats instead of dimming his lustre added to it. In the Tremont Stakes, admittedly a trifle short, he ran Economic to a length, and Economic is considered in the first flight of this years three-year-olds. In the Post and Paddock Stakes Morfair was beaten a neck by Burning Blaze in 1:11%, conceding the winner two pounds. There is scant likelihood of his equal being offered at a public vendue this year. In Mr. Vosburghs and Mr. Bryans recent handicaps he is placed second only to Tick On. The Beasels fame should be well enough known to preclude the necessity of dwelling upon it. Suffice it to say in the three years she has raced, 1929, 1930 and 1931, she has faced the barrier thirty-three times, winning twenty-three races, was second once, and third twice, earning 6,600. Her potentialities as a brood mare are limitless — her sire, Sunspot, was by the sire of Sun Briar, Sun-dridge, etc. Her dam, Antipodes, is a daughter of The Tetrarchs sire, Roi Herode, who was also the sire of the dams of American Flag, Alcibiades, Son of Battle and others. Antipodes is also the dam of last years stake winner, Mexico, and is a sister to Norseman, winner of the Liverpool St. Leger, Newbury Autumn Cup and the Cosmopolitan Cup. No higher compliment could be paid Morfair and The Beasel than the fact that Mr. Vosburgh, handicapper of The Jockey Club, included them among his list of "Famous Horses of the American Turf" for 1932— a list that was limited to twenty, four of which were steeplechasers. Of the three steeplechasers to be sold the one that intrigues the interest most is Bangle, now eight years old. This great son of Golden Orb and Nought, a winner every year he has raced, both in this country and England, recently returned to the United States after a successful foray in the land of his birth, where he gained brackets through the field and on the flat. Bangle has many good races still left in him, he is racing sound, and his class is attested by the fact his name will be found among the winners of our best steeplechase stakes. To Bangle goes the distinction of being the only steeplechaser to win the Charles L. Apple-ton Memorial twice. The vendue of the Dorwood Stable will be held at Belmont Park Saturday, May 21, under the direction of the Fasig-Tipton Company.
