The Jockey of the mare at th breeder, though sh conceiving, and an a question who, in JUDGES STAND " CHMUS HATT0N DELAWARE PARK, Stanton, Del., June 3. One is inclined to agree with Sir Victor Sassoon that thoroughbred strains have become so diffused, especially since the amendment of the Jersey Act, as to beggar the question of nationalities. -The origins of a great many horses now may be tracked like Dark Stars to Kentucky, Austra-d and France. So that academically it. ignificant. But it certainly is material export countries about the world, and ;hese is Ireland. For years it has been ate the produce of its studs from those iublic mind. However, it has succeeded this than it did politically, and an oc-espondent still offended the Celts by 0 differentiate and blandly referring 1 in the British Isle as English. Now me Americans are employing a techni-to this observer a little unfair to the asting that the Epsom Derby winner, m American-bred horse.

Version Princequillo Fillies Are Showing Keen Form the foal wins a Derby. Under The Jockey Clubs quaint regulations it is most likely the man who remitted the registration fee to 25a Park Avenue. Though it has never been made clear why the American turfs most august organization assumes these positions, it doubtless involves liability for the fees to register thoroughbred foals. This may all sound like a tempest in a teapot, but to be absolutely factual in the matter, Iroquois still is the only American-bred winner of the Epsom Derby. It may not make a tuppence worth of difference to Irelands bloodstock trade now that Nasrullah is in America, but to this writer Never Say Die and all other horses are bred where they are conceived. AAA The Delaware Oaks could haVe an added element of significance this summer, for it affords Harry Guggenheims beautifully bred Cherokee Rose the opportunity of confirming the form of the CCA Oaks. She and Open Sesame, whom she beat a stubborn head, and Riverina, who was third, all are engaged in this nine furlongs. The Coaching Club was the showiest performance Cherokee Rose has given up to now, but then she has been raced conservatively and may eventually progress to a candidacy for the title in this division. Many consider Mrs. George Wideners Evening Out pounds and lengths superior to the rest of her generation, and Cherokee Rose won the Belmont filly classic with that daughter of Shut Out in absentia. Nor was Evening Out made eligible for the Delaware Oaks, and her injury might preclude her from starting if she were nominated. It is hoped to return her to the races at Saratoga, where the historic Alabama climaxes the filly features. And it will be interesting to see what she makes of fillies developed in the interim. An aspect of the CCA Oaks result that struck as something very mentionable was that both the first and third were sired by Princequillo. He has sired his share of indifferent performers, but he is also one of the few classic sires in this country. His issue include Cherokee Roses sister, How, the former champion Hill Prince, the Epsom Derby second, Prince Simon, and others who proved capable of carrying their weight big distances. Princequillo has revived the St. Simon male line in America, where it was for many horse generations in almost total eclipse. And his daughter, Cherokee Rose, has much intrinsic value for the stud when Guggenheim has finished racing her, as an Oaks winning mare combining the blood of St. Simon and Blandf ord. Additionally, she is a filly of superb individuality, a bit larger than How was at the same age, but with not the slightest suggestion of coarseness. Few of her age and sex girth so large, and she has the fluted underpinning and flat bone horsemen seek. It is not every year a sister to a previous winner accounts for a race of the CCA Oaks importance. But oh the score of coincidence, nothing topped last falls Arc de Triomphe, with a half-brother and sister first and second a neck apart.
