X JAMMER | SUN BRIAR AND ESCOBA PICKED AS BLUE GRASS DERBY WINNERS ‘Louisville, Ky., March: 6.—While the prospective 1918 Kentucky derby field -» The pride-of the west, Escoba, three year old son of Broomstick Christmas ‘ern trip thi is one of the largest ever known for the race, and contains some of the greatest thoroughbreds ever nominat- ed, the keenest of the many angles of interest promises to be the rivalry between Sun Briar and Escoba. Sun Briar, of English blood, owned ‘by William Sharpe Kilmer, of Bing- hamton, N. Y,, is the equine pride of the east, Escoba, bred in Kentucky, owned by K. D, Alexander, of Wood-| ford county, is the champion of the bluegrass. Sun Briar, the three year old im- ported -son of Sundridge-Sweet Driar, is now quartered. at Churchill Downs, where he is being prepared for the derby. This English colt won the highest amount credited to any two year old of 1917, and was hailed as the champion of that age, and espe- cially as the champion of the east. The total amount won during his juvenile racing was $59,505. His victory in the Great ‘American | Stakeg, June 30 at Aqueduct, netted his. owner $5,250 and on Aug. 9,, at Saratoga he annexed the Albany stakes worth $2,880 to the winner. Two days later, Aug. 11, he won the) Saratoga special with a value of $11,- 750,.and wound up the season by cap- turing the Hopeful Stakes, also run at the “Spa” and the most valuable feature of the year, contested for ex- clusively by two year olds, which net- ted. the victor $30,690. iAfter the retirement ‘of Sun Briar last fall, he was shipped, to the home of his ownér, at Binghamton, N. Y., where a public detionstration was giv- Star, and American bred colt, is re ceiving his preparation for the Ken-| tucky derby at the Douglis Park} | course. This son of Broomstick 1s |.owned by Kenneth D, Alexander, w ho! | is in the aviation corps “sumewhere | in France,” but who hopes to return) to this country in time to see his colt} | fill his engagement in the Kentucky blue ribbon event, While Escoba won only about al | third as much money as Sun Briar, his! racing was of the highest order! throughout 1917 and he defeated with the exception of Sun Briar, the best) of ‘the two year olds in the country. | His winnings for 1917 amounted to} $18,004. |. The first stake to fall to the cred-} | ft of this youngster was the Idle Hour, | | worth $1,483, at Lexington, May 9 On} |‘May 15 he won the Bashford Manor! at Churchill , Downs from a classy | | field of colts, adding $2,920 to his ‘At Ltoonit on June 20, he; | winnings. | beat . a crack staked, worth $2,875 to the winner. i |, The going in the east, however, did | | Mot seem to suit Escoba and his best, yace in that section, was third in the} Futurity, which was won by Papp at | Belmont Park, Sept. 8. Escoba was returned to ‘Lexington | and given a special ‘prep” for the| Kentucky Breeders’ futurity on Sept. 2, which he captured, defeating Papp alanta, The stake was worth’ $7,246) and the entire amount was donated to| thé Red, Cross by Mr. Alexander, who | { ‘the fre field in the Harold | . ilion bushels of potatoes, acc | ‘The Jack Hare, Jr., Viva America and At-| . en in his honor by the citizens in the fora of a'street parade.
