A Valuable Colt
A message ironi London states that Dante will take up stud duties next season and it is estimated that he will earn a further £120,000 in stud fees for his fortunate owner, Sir Eric Ohlson. Dante did not run in the St. Leger and his only defeat was in the Two Thousand Guineas, in which Court Martial beat him by a head. Dante earned within a few pounds of £12,000 in stakes, and it is conservatively estimated that his owner won £50,000 in bets on Dante’s eight races. Forty owers, would-be owners, and leading bookmakers, as a syndicate, will each pay £3OOO for the right to nominate one mare a year to Dante. The horse will stand at a stud in the Newmarket district.
