Texas Thoroughbreds
Did you know that there are some
two hundred Texhns engaged in brood-
ing and raising thoroughbred race
horses; that there are several million
dollars invested in thoroughbreds in
the State, with at least one stable of
such horses valued at more than a
million and several where the invest-
ment runs into hundreds of thous-
ands? Did you know that a large
number of the fastest horses on the
race tracks of this country are Texas
bred and raised, and that a profitable
Texas industry is breeding and train-
ing race horses for Eastern horse-
men Did you know that horsemen
generally regard Texas as about the
best State in the country in which to
raise and train horses? I did not
.know any of these things until 1 spent
a day recently at the Brownlee ranch
in Burnet county, where I saw some
of the best thoroughbred horses and
mares of the State and learned some-
thing about a business of which I,
ulong with most other Texans, know
very little. Houghton Brownlee, an
Austin luwyer, and owner of the ranch
who is also what he terms, “acting
president" of the Texas Thoioughbred
Horse Breeders’ Association, now in
process of organization, war .ny host
and informant.
Reviving the Business
Hors. racing has been "in bad” In
Texas for a number of years and just-
ly so bechuse of the pratlces of book-
makers and the lack of uniform, leg-
alized control. Horsemen frankly
state that bookmaking, betting, drink-
ing and "trickery” have been respons-
ible for conditions which the best
class of horsemen do not approve, but
which they are powerless to control.
They believe that State regulations,
supervision, and control under proper
legislation would niahe horse racing
in Texas the popular pustime and j
sport that it is In the North and in I
European countries, and would also
make Texas the greatest thorough-
bred breeding and training country in
iho entire world. They sny it is rec-
ognized that the soil here, underlaid
! au much cf it is with limerock, pro-
I duces the grass thut makes the best
| hones; (that tlie dry, sunshiny climate
develops the best lungs and heart ac-
tion; that horses pastured on mes-
qutte grass sod, on limestone subsoil, I
end trained in the light Texas air
have unefqualled powers of endurance.
Why Regulate Racing
They regard racing contests as es-
sential to the development of rare
horses, just as the schools regard foot-
hull, baseball and basketball contests
helpful in the development of the best
athletes. Breeders want to train their I
