NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IV 319 



is an extra good mover and came in third place ahead of a big- black 

 from the same stable. Eight three-year-olds made a class from which five 

 blacks vk^ere selected for the prizes. A Singmaster pair came into the first 

 two positions. The first one, Mara, is a big, splendidly balanced, fine- 

 fronted colt with a very business-liko way of going. He has more pleas- 

 ing character than the second colt, Tony, whose splendid back and croup 

 command admiration. Casey had the big-boned rugged colt named Harker 

 which stood third and Hoit had a well proportioned colt Olbertan for fourth 

 place. 



Eleven two-year-olds were brought into the ring and four Singmaster 

 entries sired by Jalap drew much favorable comment. All four of them 

 landed within the money and a black named Maple Grove Gislain got the 

 blue. He has a neck permitting plenty of style, a shoulder insuring an 

 easy step and his legs are of the rare durable sort characteristic of Jalap 

 colts. The second colt, a gray called Maple Grove Fulton, ];ias a more 

 attractive head, eye and ear and a more level back and croup, so some 

 breeders admired him even more. Next came a black of substantial build 

 and especially pleasing underpinning and he was followed by a third one 

 of the Jalap colts, a grey much on the same pattern as the first two. 

 The fourth Jalap colt won fifth prize. 



The futurity yearlings numbered eight and made a very attractive class. 

 Singmaster's black Jalap colt Rockwood Jalap had a clear title to chief 

 honors. He is a very stylish fellow, the tallest of them all, with long 

 neck, sloping shoulder, short straight back, big hard bone and a remark- 

 ably strong and well proportioned front leg which should stay sound 

 forever. He is a splendid actor as well. He is not so fat and thick of 

 middle but has more character and larger bone and feet than the weighty 

 Champlin black Iran Kesako which came in second. A somewhat smaller 

 gray is Singmaster's third-prize Smith Creek Lagos, which does his noted 

 sire much credit by reason of his very heavy bone and drafty proportions. 

 A smaller black named Earl secured fourth post for Redman. He is 

 full of quality and handles his shapely underpinning masterfully. He beat 

 a tall black of excellent quality but less bone. In the stallion foal class 

 Laverty showed two growthy and promising youngsters with Iowa State 

 College sandwiching a well set-up Jalap foal in between. 



The yeld mare class brought out Singmaster's excellent six-year-old 

 gray Masse, not a ton mare but one of those sweet drafty' matrons that 

 breeders like. She stands on very heavy and fashionable timber and her 

 deep chest stamps her as a mare of strong constitution. A tastefully 

 turned back and croup distinguish Quirin's second-prize gray Clara, and 

 she has veiy long pasterns and generally excellent joints. She showed 

 thin but still was very attractive. Bulechek & Waters had their big 

 black Identa in the next class with her stretchy two-months-old foal and 

 they stood right at the top. The mare is of splendid matronly type and 

 her produce measures up to expectations. The foal won in the filly foal 

 class. Lee Bros, got the red ribbon on a productive stamp of mare named 

 Roseland and the black Ellen from Iowa State College won third. Her 

 legs and general pattern are also attractive. Singmaster put a pair of 

 beautiful blacks in the front of the three-year-old class. The winner 

 Keota Lillie is a sweet feminine filly, very drafty built upon long-lived 

 legs. She is taller and more clean-cut than her mate, Keota Callie, which 

 is of a rather blocky pattern. Lagos did himself proud as a sire in the 

 class for two-year-old fillies, where his gray Lagoceo was an outstanding 

 winner. She is compactly knit together, has ample foundation for a long 

 life of hard work and has a rare strength of front and hind leg. She was 

 the grand champion later on. She has larger bone and more elastic pas- 

 terns than the amply topped black mate Keota Kinross by another sire. 



The unlucky thiiteen yearling futurity fillies made a luckily admirable 

 class from first even down to some much admired ones which were still 

 outside the money. Even in so strong a crowd the conspicuous winner
