. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Saturday, November 28, 1908.] THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN AT DENVER TRACK. The wonderful success attending the Denver horses the past season has done much to promote the horse interest in the Rocky mountain city, and judging from the many prospects quartered at Overland park this fall, 1909 should prove even more successful. The former Kentucky reinsman, Gus Macey, has the larg- est stable of horses, all owned by the prominent Den- . ver horseman, George H. Estabrook, and as they won over $35,000 this year, it is needless to say they had a most prosperous season.

Although the horses are not given much work now and are just "roughing it," they are well worth see- ing. The first horse we saw was Mr. Macey's for- mer pupil, Country Jay 2:10%, who, it will be re- membered, sold for $10,000 a few years ago.

Coun- try Jay is by Jay Hawker, 3 2:14%, the lamented son of Jay Bird, and dam the renowned matron Par- onella, dam of Kentucky Todd, 3 2:0814, Nella Jay, 3 2:14%, Malice C. 2:17%, and Ormonde, four year old trial 2:08%, by Parkville, son of Electioneer. Of course I was anxious to see their next year's candidates for the big stakes, Dr. Harvey, trial 2:08% and quarter in 29% seconds. He is a good looking gray gelding, 6 years old, bred up in Michigan, and Mr. Macey said all the horsemen were enthus- iastic over this fellow. He is by Red Fern, son of Red Heart, and dam by Pilot Medium. Lady Seymour, a bay mare by Seymour Wilkes, dam by Robert McGregor. This mare was credited with a half in 1:00% when Mr. Estabrook bought her in California.
