j 1 i Virginia By NANCY LEE Four Old Dominion-Breds Run Big7 Two Are in Breeder-Owner Division Itinerary for Showing of Yearlings MIDDLEBURG, Va. Four Old Dominion breeders played an important part in the racing world during the week of May 20-25 as four., stakes winners accounted for events on the East Coast, in the Midwest and on the Pacific Coast. At Balmoral Washington Park , Hasty House Farms Hasty Doll-won the Miss Chicago. Stakes, accounting for her second winning effort as a two-year-old colorbearer for Mv. and Mrs. A. Reuben. This daughter of Roman from the Challenger II. matron, Legendra, was bred by Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Hardins Newstead Farm near TJpperville, and consigned by them to the Saratoga Yearling Sales last year. This year the Newstead Farm consignment will include another of the get of Legendra, this being a bay filly by Rosemoht. - - Also sold a Saratoga last year was a chestnut filly by Polynesian Highfortidies, who -was bred and consigned by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Van Cliefs Nydrie Stud. Her latest winning efforts jhave been in the Rosedale and Fashion Stakes for her owner, Mrs. S. G. Zauderer. The other two - winners were in the breeder-owner division. At the Hollywood Park meeting Mrs. M. E. Lunns homebred Social. Climber led under the wire in the Californian Stakes. This bay four-year-old colt is by Your Host from Wisteria, she by Easton. Last, year Wisteria was shipped from California back to the East Coast, where she was booked to Your Host at MeadowTview Farms, Inc. To that cover she produced a dark bay filly this year, thus this foal is a full sister to the stakes-winning Social Climber. Wisteria and her foal are now at Meadowview Farms, Inc., where she has again been bred to Your Host, and at the end of the breeding season she will be returned to Llangollen Farm. AAA Mrs. Dodge Sloanes Brookmeade-bred and owned Floral Park was the other breeder-owner combination. This four-year-old black filly is by Alibhai out of the Beau Pere matron Flower Bed, and she was the last foal registered by Brookmeade out of Flower Bed before she joined the matron group at King Ranch. A full sister to Floral Park is the filly Flower Bowl, whose successes last year was headlined by her victory in the 00,000 Delaware Handicap. Flower Bowl joined Brookmeades broodmare band this season and was a member of the group of mares bred to the syndicated Sailor this year during" his first season at stud. Viators to the Old Dominion during the yearling tour on June 22-23 will view the get of such stakes producing mares as Wee Nip, Damaged Goods. Mablen, Ellie, Seaton Pippin, Legendra, Eastern Grandeur, Flaming Top, Lask. Almahmoud, Mieuxserine, Pamela C, Pin Up Gn Sweep In, Tides and Tedeen. The first stop on Saturday, the 22d, will be at James L. Wileys Locochee Farm to see 10 yearlings and then the next stop will be at Newstead Farm, where Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Hardin will show their consignment of nine yearlings. The entourage will then cross the Blue Ridge Mountains for a visit to Kentmere Farm to look over the seven yearlings from this breeding farm. This will complete the morning tour and after luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. George P. Greenhalgh at Springsbury Farm, the six Saratoga-bound yearlings at this farm will be seen. The final visit of the day will be Mrs. George Harrisons Blue Ridge Farm, where six yearlings will be led out for inspection. a Sunday morning will start off with the parade of four yearlings of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Edwards Fenton Farm; one yearling from Kilmarus Farm, which is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stephenson, and three yearlings from Dr. and Mrs. Frank A.OKeefes Pine Brook Farms. To save time in traveling, these -aforementioned eight yearlings will be brought to Mr. and Mrs. Melville Church m.s North Cliff Farm, where they will be shown with the 18 individuals consigned by the latter farm. The afternoon will be taken up with viewing three yearlings at Mrs. C. McGhee Baxters Barracks Farm; nine at Whitney Stones Morven Stud, and 17 at Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Van Cliefs Nydrie Stud. One of the greatest problems to be tackled in recent years at Llangollen Farm was the naming of the 7,000 gray two-year-old colt by Hyperion out of Deodora, she by Dante. Readers of Daily Racing Continued on Page Forty-Four VIRGINIA I i By NANCY G. LEE Continued from Page Nine Form submitted literally hundreds of names and all of tiTese names were gone over carefully and to them, were added other suggestions. In April this colt was shipped to Charles Whittingham in California, still unnamed. Mrs. M. E. Lunn had narrowed the field down to a few names, and then the selection settled on a name which she herself had submitted. The record priced yearling will go postward with the name Rise N Shine. To anyone familiar with the parlance of the hunting field during the cubbing season, this name will ring a bell. Cubbing means getting up early, so one usually does not depend on an alarm clock, but rather on someone who has to get up to feed and tack up. Hence the telephone call to arise has to be short and to the point: "Rise N Shine." Foaling operations were completed at Mrs. George P. Greenhalghs Springsbury Farm with the arrival of a chestnut colt by One Hitter out of the Blenheim II. mare Alagold. This brings the foal population up to five colts and three fillies, one of the foals being at Tally-Ho Stud in Mullingar, Ireland, a filly by Palestine out of Pin Up Girl. Last year the foals dropped at Springsbury were all fillies, but Eastern Grandeur and Pin UP Girl came through in Ireland with each mare producing a colt foal.
