O’NEILL MAY HAVE
A REMOUNT STATION
O'Neill may be designated by the
government as a remount station for
the breeding of cavalry horses for the
U. S. army. Holt county long has
been noted for its breeding of race
horses, particularly of running horses,
the strain of stock the government is
fostering for the cavalry service, and
for which the breeders have always
found a ready market. The county’s
horse four hundred has been augment
ed by the addition of two animals of
royal blood just acquired for the rac
ing stable of Sheriff Peter W. Duffy,
whose two famous mares, Salvaboron
and Miss Bagdad have been getting in
the money frequently at the Omaha
meet. The two new members of the
Duffy stables are Rameau and Truant,
noted racing stallions, both bred
abroad. Rameau, by Etlebert, is the i
holder of the American two and one
quarter mile record. His dam is Rox
anna, who has a mile record of 1:38,
a daughter of Rozann. He was bred
in France, by August Belmont. Tru
ant is by Day Comet, out of Pure Lily,
and was brqd in Ireland. The two
famous animals and Miss Bagdad ar
rived in O’Neill Tuesday in charge of
their trainer and will spend the sum
mer and fall here, probably going to
Havana and the southern tracks for
the winter racing season. Salvatoron
wiii continue om the circuit during the
summer racing season in the east and
in Canada. Rameau, Truant and Miss
Bagdad will show with a number of
other fast ones at the races a part of
the program of the American Legion
I’outlh of July celebration here next
Wednesday.
The acquisition of Rameau and
Truant to Holt county racing blood it
is declared by stockmen will give ad
ditional weight to O’Neill’s application
for designation as a remount station,
the nearest one at present being at
Crawford in which territory racing
blood has become depleted. Rameau’s
former owner refused a government
Offer of $24,000 for him.
