ARGENTINES GREAT RACING AND BREEDING A Country of High Prices and Largo Turf Propor ¬ tions Prizes Average Very High HighLondon London Eng July 20 From the South American Mr Paats who came over to take Cyllene and Polar Star to Buenos Ayrca some sharp facts about rac I ing and breeding In the Argentine Republic were re ¬ cently gleaned The future home of the tyo great English horses Is the Ojo de Agua Studij This es ¬ tablishment is a farm three miles square nine miles lying about 350 miles south of Kiuare ncjios Ayres Many of the paddocks cover an area of 200 acres It was established seventeen years ago thougll the proprietors had previously carried on the breeding of bloodstock elsewhere The first stallion imported by the stud was Gay Hermit a son of Hermit He died three years ago He proved himself a veritable treasure Mares by him are among the most successful breeders in the Argentine They have thirty of them at Ojo de Agua Then came Stiletto by Beaudcscrt next Kertdal now twentyfive years Of age then Plcter maritzburg which died January 1 last from tumors in the intestines caused it is believed by files and now Cyllene and Polar Star are on their way out Aud by the way the two lastnamed have been insured for 255000 Cyllene for 155000 and Polar Star for 100000 There arc ninety brood inares at Ojo dc Agua so that it is obvious that an enormOus capital is1 sunk in the farm and its stock But if the outlay is heavy so is the re turn substantial At Buenos Ayres last year the stud sold thirtyseven yearlings and they made an average just short of 5000 That Is a figure cal ¬ culated to make our own breeders mouths water the more so when it is explained that the youngsters were not all by fashionable sires It would thus seem that Cyllene and Polar Star cannot fall to turn out great business propositions When Ktuidal was bought for 40000 he was said to be a dear bargain for he was eighteen years old at the time As a matter of fact he has got his pur ¬ chase money back over and over again From the breeding point of view the Argentine seems indeed to be a veritable El Dorado DoradoAnd And what H the secret of it all Simply that racing out there can be made a most profitable mirsuit There Is no prize of less value than lr OOJ Thp entry fees and forfeits are very trifling The money conies from the parimutuel Ten per cent Is deducted from the money invested at the totall 7ors and the Jockey Club gets seventenths of it Mr Panttf is the proud owner of one of the most important racing stables in the Argentine Three times he has won the Derby at Buenos Ayrcs twice his horses hava finished second and on two or three occasions his colors cerise green cap have been carried into third place By the way yllene was on Thursday adorned with Mr Paats colors for lie had a cerise head band with green buttons Last year Mr Paats won stakes to the value of 105000 although no single prize amounted to more than 5000 He has been racing for eleven years and during that period his winnings average 65000 per annum The Argentine Derby is worth 22500 to the winner and 2000 is allotted to the second horse It Is in contemplation to offer an in teruational prize of 50000 or 60000 in 1010 the entries for which will close within a short time of the race The contest will take place In October and it Is hoped to attract some English and French horses of classic caliber caliberThe The style in which he scored on Saturday leaves no doubt that the Very bloodllke Bayardo is eon siderably the best twoyearold that has run this year Bred bv his owner Mr Fairie and foaled January 31 1000 he is a bay colt by the defnnct Bay Ronald son of Hampton out of Gallcia dam of Eastern her first foal by Galopin from Isolctta by Isonomy out of Lady Muncaster dam of the Middle Park Plate winner Speedwell which I know from his owner Mr Fairie was an extremely good but unfortunately unsound horse his moder ¬ ate understandings being incapable of carrying his bulky frame frameThe The extreme smartness of Bayardo makes the death last year of Bay Ronald a matter of much regret regretBayardo Bayardo is a really beautiful colt low lengthy widegirthed with perfect symmetry and bloodlike quality coupled with sufficient power A busy active colt without a trace of nervousness he re ¬ flects credit on bis Hamptorf and1 Galopin blood which is steadied by Isonomy and the Blink Bonny taproot at the back of it itThe The coifs tabulated pedigree is appended Touchstone cj i Newminster BeeSwingv 2 f 3 The Slave f Kettledrum Rataplan Hybla Lanercosf Queen
