1G THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, Mey 8, 1964 "JOE THOMAS 'Windfie By JACK SULLIVAN cheres, Que., Alberta Ranches in Calgary. And, of course, Tay- lor. were matching their They knowledge of breeding, backed with loaded wallets, in the race to become the first to saddle a Canadian-bred Derby winner. Thomas didn't venture a guess as to the eventual winner of this behind-the-scenes contest, but he undoubtedly had his boss at the top of the list. 'BREED THE BEST' Canadians didn't snicker at Thomas's prognostication. He knew everything there was to know about the fabulous 600- acre Windfields Farm that came up with Northern Dancer, this year's Derby winner, and how his affluent employer had spent millions of dollars build- ing it and the National Stud at Oshawa, Ont., into two of the tap five breeding esablishments in North America. Along with the introduction of high-quality stock in obedi-' ence to the ol dictum to "breed! the best to the best~and hope," Taylor's success lies in use of the most up-to-date methods. But it wan't by any means a sure thing that he would one day in May stride into the win- ner's circle at Churchill in Louisvill sold but Canadian horsemen may as well face one fact: Even with a little bit of luck they can rarely beat Taylor, chairman of The Jockey Club. For instance, it is well-known le. Any wealthy C; le Ww 'a- madian sportsman has a ch to do it simply because of the unique opera of Windfields and the National Stud. Each year, Taylor conducts a pre - priced yearling sale. He puts a price tag'on each one and says how many will be sold. Purchasers can choose the yearling they want. Taylor re- tains the left-overs. Under this procedure, the best Derby brought Northern Danc- years of racing. now that Northern Dancer had a $25,000 tag on him but owners passed up the colt because they felt he was too small to go any- where. Taylor, poor chap, was stuck with it and the $114,300 he picked up in last Saturday's er's earnings to $394,872 in two Id's Manager 'Was Only One Year Out in HE PREDICTED DERBY WIN FOR A "CANADIAN" HORSE the Queen's Plate, is another where Taylor chuckles all the way to the bank with the win- ner's loot while other owners grumble about their ill luck. No. one wanted Canehora for $7,500 as. a yearling. Last year, the colt whipped a cumbersome 19-horse field in the richest Plate in its 104-year history and returned Taylor a handsome $54,850.

Finley, owner of the Kansas City As, is fencing again with president Joe Cronin of the American League. Finley, who recently com- plained about Yankee Sta- dium's sport rightfield foul line, said Thursday he asked Cronin to check outfield meas- urements in all league parks. Finley said he measured fence distances at Comiskey Park here after some of his players said they doubted ad- vert ised measurements of some parks were accurate. "So I spent $94 for a 500- foot steel tape and measure," said Finley. "Well, Comiskey Park's ad- vertised 352-foot foul lines are rounds of 74. Balding shot 39-35| 347 feet.
