Luck and Ill Luge of Turf Followers Experience of Mr Keene
The Inter Ocean recounts a luck tale from two years on the turf. Captain Brown's promise to Max Samuelson made him half owner of Accountant and Interlight with a $10,000 share. Accountant rose, Interlight fell short. Diamond Jim Brady bought Accountant for $40,000, with Samuelson receiving a share. In contrast, James R. Keene’s Sysonby, a two-year, 15-start champion, died of blood poisoning after earning $184,000, despite a near $200,000 offer. Sysonby’s loss is a profound blow to American breeding and turf ambition.
