Thirty-two horses, ready to .race, will be sold in the paddock at Washington Park Friday morning at 11:30 oclock, the sale representing the dispersal of J. O. Keenes racing stable and a drastic reduction of Hal Price Headleys establishment. John Bain will cry the auction. All of the horses have been stabled at Washington Park throughout the meeting and several of them have been raced, while all have been trained by their owners with the idea in mind of being in first class condition when they enter the sale. The Keene dispersal will include twenty-one horses headed by the speedy three-year-old Pancho Lopez, which won three out of four races last season and three events this year, running five and a half furlongs in 1:04 and six furlongs in 1:11. Another star in the Keene lot is Don Romiro, winner of the Cuban Juvenile Stakes last season and three races already in 1932. There are thirteen juveniles by such sires as Chance Play, Master Charlie, Pot au Feu, Justice F., Sand Mole and Pagan Pan and from brood mares that have provided Keene with many winners in the past. Pigeon Hole, hero of many hard races and winner of the Arlington and Enquirer Handicaps, second in the Hawthorne Gold Cup and third in the Latonia Derby, with earnings of more than 0,000, heads the Headley offerings. The recent winner Niato is another among the Headley lot and all the others, except the three two-year-olds, are winners. The youngsters all have shown speed. Head-ley has sold drafts from his stable every summer for the past several years, with many of the horses proving good winners for other owners.
