KILMER MARES AT AUCTION I Fine List of Brood Marcs to Be Of- fered at Lexington Fall Sales. Throe In Foal to Worlds Money-Winning - Champion Three Sons of Sun Briar Represented Through Mares. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct 9. Fortifying Court Manor with carefully chosen sons and i daughters of Sun Briar has been one of 1 .Willis Sharpe Kilmers main objectives in the past few years. It was a foregone con- elusion the Binghamton sportsman would send Sun Beau, the worlds greatest money 1 1 Winner, to stand beside his daddy when re- tirement days rolled around. Not content with only one son of his great stallion stand- i ing at the Shenandoah Valley breeding es- tablishmcnt, Kilmer now has a Sun Briar trio in Sun Beau, Sunpatic and Sunador. All I three are of interest at this time in that many of the mares Willis Sharpe Kilmer will sell at Lexington, Monday morning, Oc-tober 19, are in foal to one or the other. Three mares, which are in foal to the j worlds money-winning champion are High- . dine, Source and Dark Olga. Highdine 1931 is a young mare by High Time Almandine ; II., by Faucheur. Source 1923 is a bay daughter of AH Bey from the Negofol mare, ; Susie, a producer of winners. A colt by Sun Beau, from Source, was sold at the Saratoga sales in August for ,500. Dark Olga 1933 i3 a young mare by Traumer Mint, by Mint Briar, winner of the Spring Juvenile Stakes, at two, and when retired to the stud the producer of Hero Olga, Dark Olga and a third foal which was sold for ,000 at the 1935 Saratoga sales. Sunpatic, a bay, foaled in 1930, is a nicely-bred son of Sun Briar, from the Friar Rock mare, Simpatica. The latter, herself a winner, is dam of the stake winners. Starpatic Knickerbocker and Continental Handicaps, Suntica Kentucky Oaks, Illinois Oaks, La-tonia Oaks and Test Stakes, and Try Sympathy Hyde Park Stakes. Sunpatic did not race but is giving promise of true worth in the stud. DAM OF FIVE WINNERS. His first representative, .Patty Comixa, was a winner this year, and at Saratoga his get had definite appeal, a colt selling for ,100, and a filly for ,100. At Lexington, one of the Kilmer mares to be sold is Madras, by Ben Brush, the dam of five winners and also dam of a colt which sold at Saratoga for ,400. Madras is now in foal to Sunpatic. Sunador 1931, by Sun Briar Adorable II., by Sardanapale, was an extremely fast race horse, but after winning the Governors Day Handicap 1935 at Hialeah, it was discovered that a small bone in his. foot had been broken, so rather than risk a graver injury his owner decided to retire him. With a splendid conformation he appears to be a fine stud prospect His dam is a daughter of Sardanapale, sire of the dams of such good racers as Black Maria, Gaffsman, Peanuts, Frisius, Brokers Tip and Sarmation, sire of the dam of Granville. Four of the Kilmer marcs to be sold at Lexington Superlettc Lou, Heromain, Light Brig and Jumble are in foal to Sunador. Superlette Lou 1931, by Lucullite Super-lette, by Superman, was the winner of 8,490, and in stud has produced the winners Zam-bar and Super Purchase. Heromain 1932, by imported Heredo? Sunmagne. by Sun Briar, is nicely bred, her dam, Sunmagne, being a winner and sister to the high-class stake winner, Sunny Man United States Hotel Stakes and the Saratoga Special, besides producing the stake winners Dark Magne and Dark Magnet Pimlico Oaks. Light Brig 1923, a brown daughter of imported Light Brigade Brigantine, by Ben Brush, is dam of the winner Wingo, while Jubilee 1931, last of the quartet in foal to Sunador, is a chestnut daughter of imported Vulcain Jackstones, by Pebbles. SON OF BLENHEIM. Another recent addition to the Court Manor stallion forces which is to be represented at Lexington, through mares in foal, is Hilltown. A son of the recently imported Blenheim sire of Mahmoud, 1936 Epsom Derby winner, he descends from the great Blandford, then Swyford, John o Gaunt and Isinglass, the latter winner of the Triple Crown and for many years Englands great-r est money winner. Blandford now dead was worthy of being called "the worlds greatest sire," and the fact that a syndicate in this country paid 50,000 for his son, Blenheim, is but Americas echo of Englands claim. . . On his dams side Hilltown is just as fashionable, for he is from Phaona, by Pha-laris, she the dam of Easton, which split Windsor Lad and Colombo in the Epsom Derby of 1934, ran second to Colombo in the Two Thousand Guineas of the same year, and was a winner of important stakes on the continent In his 1936 supplement of "Thoroughbred Bloodlines," Col. John F. Wall says: "When Phalaris is consider it is found that his family is in large fashion pvervvvhere." At the Saratoga sales in August a bay filly by Sun Briar, from Phaona. bAtgLex?on on October 19, two of the twlnty-four mares to be offered will be in ri to Hilltown.
