j i t , 1 , , ] . j ; , | . , SALES AT BELMONT PARK Important Dispersals to Be on May 20 and 21 — Many High-Class Horses Included. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 13.— Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, will be important days at Belmont Park, for on these days will be held the opening sales of the New York season. Both sales include important dispersals and, in view of this, are being awaited with interest, not only by prospective purchasers, but by everyone connected with racing and breeding. These sales will be the first test of the eastern market in 1932. The important feature of the sales is the dispersal of the Dorwood Stable and many | horsemen are wondering what such horses as Morfair, The Beasel and that great jumper, imported Bangle, will bring when placed under the hammer. These three, being leading stake winners, will give the market a thorough test. Others in the Dorwood Stable band are the jumpers Taos and Annapolitan, the latter being considered one of the best prospects in training. There are also twenty-two colts and fillies, now two-year-olds, in this band. Some have already been shown in public, but the tops of the band have been trained with the Belmont Park, Aqueduct and Saratoga stakes in view. Other interesting consignments to be sold are the dispersals of the R. A. Fairbairn and W. B. Miller stables, which consist entirely of two-year-olds by Infinite, imported Sir Gallahad III., Sweep, High Time and imported Waygood. They will be raced or given public trials prior to the sale. It is rumored that in the filly Fiery Flight, by Infinite, the Miller stable has as great a filly as any in training. There are many first class horses in the sale of May 20. William Ziegler, Jr. is selling fifteen head, finding it necessary to reduce his stable. He emphasizes the fact that this is not a weeding out sale, but that the horses are being sold because the training stable has grown unwieldy and stable room is also lacking. R. A. Smith is selling some high class horses, including the recent winners at Jamaica, Blue Blitzen and Chief Daunt. J. E. Davis, steward of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, is also selling his entire stable. Included in the band is Indian Town, winner of a two-year-old race at Pimlico May 9; Tremendous, another two-year-old, beaten a head in her last start; the winner Arrow, and others. Other consignors include the Sanford Stud Farms; R. Spreckels, whose band includes the winners Tuskegee, Winning Heart and Cane Heart; Tedlu Stable, Mrs. E. Fred and many others. In the various consignments to be sold are several jumpers and hunters of class, so that members of the many hunt clubs are expected to be active at these sales.
