AMERICAN HORSES.
Unusual Invasion of Great
Britain
NOT MUCH SUCCESS YET
(Received 12 noon.) LONDON, January 12. The "Daily Telegraph" racing correspondent says there have not for many years been so many American-bred horses in Britain as now. Apart from the Gold Cup candidates and Mute and Gusto, they are mostly steeplechasers and hurdlers.
The influx is due to the number of rich Americans who take an interest in our national hunt races.
Americans have been the biggest buyers of our steeplechasers during the past few years, including J. H. Whitney, Ambrose Clark, the brothers Bostwiek, and Miss Paget.
Some of these, owners arc now sending to England horses bred in America, so far without much success.
