Stamboul Stallion Sells for 41000 Amid Auction Flurry
New York December 20 The trotting stallion Stamboul sold at auction to E H Harriman of New York for 41000 amid seven bids. Initial offers rose in 5000 increments led by Andrew Welch of Hartford and Forbes Wallace of Springfield before Harriman secured the horse. The sale disappointed owners who expected at least 60000. Harriman acted for a horsemen syndicate but declined to identify buyers. The seller’s camp questioned Stamboul’s racing record and Kellogg defended the affidavit results with witnesses from the West.
