Grey Lag Is Zanzibars First Objective Heads Vanderbilt String of Sixteen Ten Two-Year-Olds in Lot That McCoy Has in His Care at Belmont Park NEW YORK. N. Y.. March 31.— Zanzibar will probably be the first of the Lt. Alfred G. Vanderbilt horses, recently unloaded at Belmont Park, to get to the races, trainer Lee McCoy said today. The four-year-old black gelding by Discovery — Hindoo Queen has been named for the Grey Lag Handicap, 5,000 feature of the closing day of the Jamaica meeting, which opens April 8. Of course there is more than a slim chance that others of the band of 16 head McCoy brought to the Long Island course from Vanderbilts Sagamore Farm will be seen in action at an even earlier date, but the recent bad weather has retarded them somewhat. The older horses who will carry the cerise and white diamonds while their owner commands his P. T. Boat in the South Pacific are Extra Base, Late City, Great Beyond. Fledgling and Good Thing. There are 10 juveniles in the Vanderbilt contingent now prepping at Belmont. They are Detection, bay colt, by Discovery — The Schemer; False Move, brown colt, by Discovery — Balking; Early Bird, bay colt, by Discovery — Little Sleeper; Foiled, chestnut colt, by Discovery — Outdone; News Beat, black colt, by Discovery — Spot News; Sym- bolism. bay filly, by Bahram — Teetotum; The Shah, bay colt, by Bahram — Astralobe; Charwoman, bay filly, by Discovery — Sweep Out; Soap Suds, chestnut colt, by Discov- ery — Galley Slave, and an unnamed brown filly, by Discovery, out of Pansy Walker. All Juveniles Are Homebreds All of the Vanderbilt juveniles are homebred and it will be noted that all except the colt and filly by Bahram, in whom Vanderbilt holds an interest, are by his powerful handicap horse of a few years back, Discovery. Incidentally, the Bahram filly is proportionately as small as the Bahram colt is large. Shes a tiny and rather nervous trick, while the colt weighs upward of 1,100 pounds. Vanderbilt, who writes McCoy that he "has hopes of a leave that would enable him to get back to the United States in August, has 1 1 services to Bahram this year and , also is breeding some mares to Bimelech. ! McCoy also advises that the crack Saga- more filly Now What has a yearling colt by Bahram at the farm and a filly by the same stallion at her side, while she is being bred back to the unbeaten English Triple Crown winner this year. Fresh start and the nimble Petrify also are going to Bahram "s court. Canfly and Ovalette have colt foals by New World, the former being a big i strapping fellow. Canfly is going to Bahrains court this year, while The Spare is j in foal to the son of Blandford. Bokhara ! II., a daughter of Bahram who was purchased in England by Vanderbilt, has a | filly foal by Discovery. The unlucky Par sy Walker has a yearling filly by Bimelech and is in foal to that Bradley stallion. j | i • I I | j I I j I I j ; ! | i J j j i |
