ACTIVITY AT RENO TRACK Twenty-Two Yearlings Bred at Nevada Stock Farm Attend School Buddy Lights Colt. RENO, Nev., Aug. 23. Trainer Joe Woodson is busy these days breaking in the yearlings from the Nevada Stock Farm, with quite a group of racing enthusiasts watching the proceedings each morning at the mile track on the outskirts of this city. As the best blood lines in the country are represented in the band, it is no wild guess the colts and fillies will be, making turf history next year on the big courses in the East, where owner George Wingfield campaigns a good string each season. The yearlings are by Volta, Honeywood, Enoch, Canter, General Thatcher, Wise Counsellor, Sun Flag, Swift and Sure, Chance Play, Abbots Nymph and Bubbling Over. The get of the first two named sires predominate. The matron Ruddy Light is in foal to Chance Play. She has already produced two stars in Hygro and. Siskin.both by the noted sire Epinard, and the yearling by Chance Play may be another of that high class. The first crop of the Chance Plays are now racing and the colt Lucky Chance won the East View Stakes at Empire City, showing the quality of the youngsters. That young "daddy" of stake winners, the Swynford horse Swift and Sure, is represented in the Wingfield lot of twenty-two by a black filly of pleasing conformation. The miss is a daughter of the Sweep mare Washoe Belle, a homebred, already noted for being the dame of the stake, winner Tarpaulin. " Tarpaulin, a son of the phenomenally successful sire of two-year-olds, Supremus, was retired last year and his first crop four in number are now being weaned at Nevada Stock Farm. Thistlewood, which, western race fans will recall, is in foal to Volta. This mare won many races at the Tijuana course in the Wingfield colors.
