. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN [Saturday. November 7, 190S. ZOMBRO 2:11 TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA HORSES IN AUSTRALIA. When spring opens next year another of Cali- fornia's great stallions is to be sent across the moun- tains, never to return to the State. Mr. Geo. T. Beckers, owner of that great sire Zonibro, writes us that some time in February next he will ship the son of McKinney 2:11% to one of the leading horse breeding Slates across the mountains, probably Ken- tucky, and that he will not bring him back to Cali- fornia. To give our breeders a last opportunity, however, Zonibro will make a fall and winter season at Mr. Beckers' place in Los Angeles. Zonibro has made a wonderful showing as a sire this year. He leads all other sires in the world as a sire" of new members of the 2:10 list, no less than four of his get, three of them trotters, having entered this magic circle during the racing season of He is also the leading side of 2:15 performers year, with six new ones in that list, and the great Bingen 2:06% is the only stallion that equals him as a sire of new 2:20 performers, both having seven additions to that list. California breeders have patronized Zombro pretty well in the past, but they have never yet realized his greatness as a sire of extreme speed and never will "until he has left the State for good. He now has 4S standard performers to his credit and of these just half are in the 2:20 list, a truly remarkable showing. He has eight in the 2:10 list, and sixteen in 2:15 or better. Of the three 2:10 trotters by him that gained fame this year are San Francisco, the handsome trotter that won third money in the ?50,- 000 Readville Handicap and afterwards gained a trot- ting record of 2:07% in a winning race; Zomalta 2:08%, one of the gamest trotters and best win- ners in Will Durfee's string, and The Zoo 2:09, called by all the Eastern turf scribes the handsomest stal- lion in training. These three were enough
