WRIGHT BAND AT CLEVELAND High-Priced Temulac Is Included in Jack Hodgins Division. Juvenile Son of Display, Named Stand Alone, Also in String— Most Promising of Youngsters. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 19.— The stock of Ohios thoroughbred racing rose sharply this week with the arrival of a division of the far-famed Calumet Farm stable on the grounds at North Randall to await the opening of the tracks inaugural running race I meeting on Saturday, May 27. Ever since the Calumet Farm was founded in Lexington, Ky., thirty years ago as a breeding place for harness horses the name has been cne to conjure with wherever horse racing is talked about. Heading the division of the stable which will race at North Randall under the supervision of Jack Hodgins is Temulac, a three-year-old by Sir Gallahad IH— Marching Along. Temulac cost Warren Wright 6,000 as a yearling in the Saratoga Sales of 1937. The purchase price represented the highest bid of the season and great things were predicted for the colt. Although he displayed tremendous speed in morning workouts Temulac for some reason was unable to come up to expectations in actual races. EXPECT GREAT THINGS. However, he has developed into an exceptionally well-formed three-year-old, and the Calumet people fully expect him to make amends this year for last years failures. Frank Kearns, head trainer for Calumet, after considerable urging from North Randalls racing secretary, Julius G. Reeder, decided to send his star youngster after the rich stakes at this track before shipping him to Saratoga. At the Spa he will join the famed Bull Lea as the stables chief hope in the handicap division. In addition to Temulac, which, incidentally, is Calumet spelled in reverse, the stable will be represented at North Randall by ten other speedsters, nine of them untried two-year-olds. The nine, however, are extremely well-bred fillies and colts, and represent another enormous expenditure at yearling sales. Most promising of the lot are Stand Alone, a Display colt; Miss Quality, a filly by Equipoise, and Pell Mell, a gelding by Hadagal. The arrival of the Calumet string brought the total horses on the grounds at North Randall to seventy-five, and there will be more than 300 by Saturday, a week in advance of the scheduled opening.
