New Jersey-Breds Doing Quite Well Free Advice, Lord Rusty, Dominave Triumph; Last Named in 00,000 Class By ARTHUR E. JAMES FREEHOLD, N. J., June 25. The New Jersey-bred race for two-year-olds on Tuesday, June 21 was won by David O. Evans bay filly Free Advice by Ramillies Modest, by St. James. Evans, one of the states largest thoroughbred breeders, has his farm at Holmdel just a few miles west of Monmouth Park. The farm boasts some of the most modern of equipment, such as an elaborate hay drying apparatus and an irrigation system for watering pasture. Trainer Harry Wells, who has been having a successful season with the horses he has wintered in New Jersey, tallied with a surprise win Tuesday, June 21 with Rari-tan Stables Lord Rusty who paid 50.20. 6.00 and 9.40. Raritan Stables, nom de course of Mr. and Mrs. Reeve Schley, bred and raised this Slide Rul6 colt at their. Far Hills Farm. In his six starts last year, Lord Rusty won once and in three previous starts this year he ran second at Garden State Park the first time out: Harry Wells should have been well prepared for the win for throughout the afternoon before the race a woman sitting in a nearby box had been loudly touting the horse to her friends. Harry hopes she shows up more often so that he may consider her free advice. Dominave 49 Jersey Futurity Winner The eight-year-old campaigner Dominave won his third race this year at Narra- ; gansett on the 21st. Dominave, winner of the 1949 New Jersey Futurity, has raced steadily over the years and has now increased his earnings to over 00,000 in winning 35 races. Dominave, like Dark Peter, the Regret Handicap winner, was bred and raised by Howard M. Stack at his Lincroft, N. J. Farm. The ABC television show "You Asked For It" has received so many inquiries from viewers wanting to know what happened to Your Host after the fall in California that ended his racing career and his eventual recovery and move to New Jersey that they are putting together a program showing his racing career, his present home and exercising activities at the F. Wallis Armstrong, Jr.s Meadowview Farms, Moorestown. Also included in the Continued or Page Fifty-Two New Jersey-Bred Horses Continue to Do Well Continued from Page Eight program will be film clips of his present two-year-old crop now racing in California. Camera crews spent the last few days at Meadowview . taking hundreds of feet of film on the current phase of his interesting life. The Armstrongs are flying to California the week end to attend the Naylor Dispersal and then a week touring California horse center. They are hoping to see one or two of the Your Host two-year-olds race while they are there. We recently referred to the organization of a 4-H Boots and Saddle Club in Monmouth County and remarked on the fact that it was giving youngsters an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of horses and the horse industry. A letter from Dr. George L. Yeaton, in Newton, Sussex County, who is one of the "leaders" in one of the two Sussex County 4-H Saddle Clubs, advises that there are now eight such clubs in the state with two in Morris County, one in Warren, two in Sussex, one in Salem, one in Cape May, beside the Monmouth County Club. Their activities, other than showing, include trail rides, gymkhanas, riding clinics and classes instructed by prominent horsemen in the various localities. On Saturday, the Sussex County Club held its fourth annual Horse Show with almost two dozen classes open to members of any 4-H Club. Dr. Yeaton, in addition to handling a large veterinary practice in Sussex County and his 4-H Club activities, operates Bittersweet Farm at Newton where he stands the Thoroughbred stallion Bohemia. Monmouth Parks elegant just-published brochure contains a most erudite section on breeding and training yearlings, complete with descriptive pictures taken at Tom Harraways training establishment at Brookdale Farm, Lincroft. Juno. Cole, Secretary of the Thoroughbred Horse Breeders Association of N. J., Freehold office, is wringing her hands because there are so many Thoroughbred breeders who wait until the 30th of June to file their entries for the forthcoming Yearling Show. It is her job to check, the entries, make up the program, send out the invitations to Mr. Haskells Luncheon which follows the Show, prepare the necessary judging forms, etc., all in less than two weeks, so ...
