KENTUCKY DERBY 123 



George Smith is entirely of English blood, both his sire, Out 

 of Reach, and his dam, Consuelo II., being of imported blood. 

 His sire is now owned by the New York turfman, James Butler. 



The Derby was worth gross $13,200. The winner's net share 

 was $9,750, while the second horse, Star Hawk, took down 

 $2,000; the third horse, Franklin, $1,000, and the fourth horse, 

 Dodge, saved his stake of $225. The time, 2:04, has only once 

 been beaten in the Derby, being second to the mark of 2:03 2/5, 

 scored by Old Rosebud in 1914, which is still the Kentucky 

 Derby race record. 



Jockey John Loftus, who rode George Smith to victory in 

 the Kentucky Derby, is a native of Chicago, 111., where his 

 parents reside. He lias long been regarded one of the leading 

 riders of America, and is now under contract to James Butler. 

 He only came West this spring to ride George Smith at Lex- 

 ington and in the Derby, and will return to New York at once 

 to his employer. Loftus was long connected with the stable of 

 J. B. Respess and was also awhile with the J. Livingston stable. 

 He rode one season in France and made good there, the same 

 as he has in this country. 



John Sanford, the owner of George Smith, is a son of the 

 noted turfman of the same surname, who raced such great horses 

 as Caughnawaga, Rockton, Chuctanunda, Mohawk II. and Molly 

 Brant. The Sanford place is Hurricana Stud, near Amsterdam, 

 N. Y., where is also located the Sanford carpet manufacturing 

 plant. It is at Hurricana Stud that George Smith will do stud 

 service when his turf career is over. 



George Smith, the winner of the forty-second renewal of the 

 historic and classic Kentucky Derby, is a superbly made black 

 colt of average good size and much quality, with a superior way 

 of going. He is very sightly in appearance and has a perfect 

 track disposition.
