THREE-YEAR-OLD PROSPECTS OF 1936 1 0 j Numerous three-year-old prospects were omitted from the individual dis- cussions, among them several which very easily could develop, into topnotchers. f They were not given special consideration because they indicated in their races j that they held little promise as three-year-olds or what they did show did not put j them in a comparison with those included in this series. I Other three-year-olds worthy of mention and what might be expected of them Is set forth as follows. By NORRIS ROYDEN. ...... ...... T ...J MARD3L, brown or black colt, by Ariel Nyanza, by Negofol. Owner, Maemere Farm Stable. Trainer, G. E. Phillips. For his inches Maeriel was one of the best two-year-olds out last season, but when sent longer distances he found the job hard to manage. He ran with the best and his long, hard campaign told on him during the latter part of the Florida season. Until he loses his class Maeriel should win many races. MANSCO, chestnut gelding, by Polymelian Griselda, by Wrack. Owner, T. C. Worden. Trainer, B. A. Jones. Mahsco won half of his ten starts, all around Chicago, last year, including the Joliet Handicap and Hawthorne Juvenile. Handicap. He raced this winter, but did not do so well, but when "he hits his stride he may prove a good overnight sprinter. MONT BLANC, chestnut colt, by Coronach Blanc Mange, by Hainault. Owner; G. H. Bostwick. Trainer, J. P. Smith. Mont Blanc, a well-bred English colt, did not race last year and won the last three of his four starts at Hialeah Park before going lame on the eve of the Florida Derby. The extent of his ability is yet to be tested, but -the class of horses he defeated at Hialeah hardly stamps him as a likely champion. MR. BONES, brown colt, by Royal Minstrel Rinkey, by Pennant. Owner, J. II. Whitney. Trainer, J. W. Healy. Mr. Bones was about the best two-year-old in this stable last year, showing fair speed and class. He may develop into a good three-year-old, although as yet Royal Minstrels get havent proved themselves as stayers. MY COLIN, brown gelding, by Colin My Bet, by Cudgel. Owner, J. Hartman. Trainer, J. V. Stewart. My Colin just fell below stakes-winning caliber as a juvenile and he probably will, be the same this year, with sprinting as his forte. NEDROW, bay gelding, by Polymelian Double Quick, by Under Fire. Owner, T. C. Worden. Trainer, B. A. Jones. Nedrow displayed several pretty keen efforts on Chicago tracks last summer, and may be a better prospect than Mansco. He should at least be a fair sort of sprinter. PIIAROSAY, bay colt, by Pharamond II. Exposay, by Dominant. Owner, Calumet Farm. Trainer, B. B. Williams. Pharosay was second in his only two starts, losing a narrow decision to Her Reigh, while finishing ahead of Jean Bart, Tatterdemalion and other promising youngsters in the other. A growthy colt, he may develop as did Whopper, another of Pharamonds get. PULLMAN, bay colt, by The Porter Aquastella, by Cudgel. Owner, Sage Stable. Trainer, Fred Hopkins. Pullman was just a shade below the top rank of two-year-olds, but went up against the stars frequently. Any improvement whatsoever should make him a handy performer. SANGREAL, bay colt, by Sir Gallahad III. Hayai, by Delhi. Owner, Milky Way Farms Stable. Trainer, Robert McGarvey. Sangreal went up against the best of his division last fall without success, but again lesser lights he was pretty successful. He may prove a mighty good assistant to The Fighter this season, although his effort in the Texas Derby wasnt so noteworthy. SEABISCUIT, bay colt, by Hard Tack Swing On, by Whisk Broom II. Owner, Wheatley Stable. Trainer, James Fitzsimmojis. Seabiscuit went to the post thirty-five times last season and was a factor in most of his efforts and on one or two occasions he defeated some fair company. He developed out of the plater class and may hold that edge this year. His breeding suggests some ability over a distance of ground. SPEED TO SPARE, black colt, by Balko The Spare, by John P. Grier. Owner, A. G. Vanderbilt. Trainer, J. H. Stotler. Speed to Spare has plenty of speed, but it is doubtful if he will extend it beyond six furlongs, at which distance he may prove one of the stars of the season. TATTERDEMALION, bay colt, by St. Germans Elf, by Chicle. Owner, C. V. Whitney. Trainer, T. J. Healey. Tatterdemalion is a half-brother to Boojum that could win but once in eight starts as a juvenile. However, he showed promise of better things as a three-year-old and is better bred for stamina than was his illustrious half-brother. He will bear watching. TTENNOB, bay or brown colt, by For Fair Miss Cynthia, by Joe Carey. Owner, Milldale Stable. Trainer, Anthony Pelleteri. Thennob showed slight ability as a two-year-old, but did real well at Santa Anita, where he went into the Derby well supported, only to be knocked back at the start. He moved into a fine position in the stretch, only to tire. He wasnt right at Arlington Downs, and didnt participate in the Texas Derby. He seems a useful sort of three-year-old, but hardly brilliant enough to gain the heights. TEUFEL, chestnut colt, by Diavolo Virginia L., by McGee. Owner, Wheatley Stable. Trainer, James Fitzsimmons. Teufel, a half-brother to Single Foot and Canter, was a maiden last year, but just missed beating The Fighter in the Remsen Handicap at Jamaica. He showed a promising effort in the Chesapeake Stakes, and and is regarded generally as a dangerous prospect. TRANSPORTER, bay colt, by The Porter Sun Agnes, by Sun Briar. Owner, Mrs. M. duP. Somerville. Trainer, S. L. Burch. Transporter was a notch below stakes-winning class last season and he may be the same sort of a colt this year, but with any sort of improvement he can make a name for himself. TRIUMPHANT, bay colt, by Dis Done Thais, by Sun Briar. Owner, C. V. Whitney. Trainer, T. J. Healey. Triumphant was a speedy two-year-old with considerable class, but he suffered ,frcm sesamoid trouble and probably will never race again. VALE VICTORIAN, black colt, by Victorian Aroma, by Santry. Owner, Mrs. S. B. Mason. Trainer, J. T. Taylor. Valevictorian might be a factor in three-year-old circles this season, but for his lack of size. However, he is a fast colt of much class and six furlongs may find him well-nigh invincible. WISE DUKE, chestnut colt, by Wise Counsellor Desire, by Marathon. Owner, H. H. Hector. Trainer, S. W. Ward. Wise Duke may prove to be the best of Wise Counsellors get yet to reach the races. He won the Hialeah Juvenile Championship and Aberdeen Stakes early and set the pace until well into the stretch in the Walden Handicap late in the fall, losing that mile and a sixteenth event by only half a length to Ned Reigh. With speed and class, he "will be troublesome up to his limit, which should be determined in his immediate engagements.
