47 COLTS IN CLASSIC RACES
By J. 8. A. McDonald.
San Francisco, March 21. With the
near approach of ths turf season's open
ing the probable strength of tha stabU
of James R. Keene is becoming a matter
of acute Interest to all followers of ths
thoroughbred. In 1907 Mr, Keene'S
horsey won a little over $411,(45. Colin,
Peter Pan, Ballot and the patriarchal
turfman's other stars dominated ths
turf of tha year. How will it be this
coming summer, provided, of course,
that racing obtains in face of tha vio
lent opposition of Governor Hughes and
nis cohorts at Albany, New York!
Trainer Jimes Rowe expects to sad.
die at one time or other through tha
season just 47 juvenile thoroughbreds.
He has that number now in mild point,
together with 18 other horses, S-year-olds,
4-year-olds, and aged handicap
penurmers.
Of course, the Keens 2-year-olds, tha

here at that time. . Fraler always main
tained that he did not want to "mark",
his horse, because he Intended cam
paigning him for soma big stakes in
California the following winter. How
ever that may be ha could have earned
a rar greater aum Dy matching him
with Brinb Trlx and George Ayer. Bill
Matlock and several other eastern Ore-
fon horsemen made all kinds of over
ures to Frasler but - tha latter would
not reoede from his position. Local
horsemen even went so far aa to try
and get Frazler's consent-for a match
with the three full brothers, Chehalis,
Del Norte-and Touches but even this
was passed up.
Chehalis could - have made the Brlno
