FLARES FOR THE STUD
Mr. William Woodward's Flares, who recently won the Ascot \ Gold Cup in England, will return to America at the end of the season, where he will join Reigh Count, Alcazar, and Omaha at the head of the famous Claibourne Stud. These three, by the way, all finished second in the Ascot Gold Cup. Reigh Count, owned by Mrs. J. D. Hertz, ran second to Invershin in 1929. Tiberius defeated Alcazar in 1935, and the following year Omaha was a narrow loser to that great mare Quashed. Next to the Derby, the Ascot Gold Cup is the most coveted race in the world, but, after Quashed had snatched the prize from America in the last stride in 1936, Mr. Woodward gained some measure of compensation when Flares, a brother to Omaha, triumphed this year. Chairman of the New York Jockey Club, Mr. Woodward, who was not present to see Flares win, races extensively in America and England, where he has a select team of horses with the Freemason Lodge trainer Captain Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, at Newmarket.
