By FRANK ECK ,
AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor
BELMONT, NY? Outside
Stable 42 at spacious Belmont
Park, beautiful blue-eyed Joseph
ine Abercrombie stood watching
the grooms walk a half dozen thor
oughbreds. In her hand she held
a stop watch.
"I'm just learning to work it,"
said the 28-year-old Rice Institute
graduate who is one-fourth owner
of the Pin Oak Farm stable of
Versailles, Ky., and Houston. Tex.
."The first time I used it 1 didn't
know how to start it. The second
time I didn't know how to stop it
and the third day out on the track
I lost it Now that I've found it 1
can't get it to work."
Miss Abercrombie has no plans
to become a trainer for she has
a capable conditioner in J. II.1
(Slim) Pearce. But even in soiled
I jodphurs. the sparkling blonde at
I traction around Helmont's stable
area wants to learn everything
about raring.
When the Pin Oak horses are
due to work out she's usually on
hand at (i o'clock in the morning.
And she stays around until all
the fillies and colts in the 18
liorse stable are back in the barn.
The stable is owned by Miss
Abercrombie in partnership with
her father's brother. Bob Aber
crombie. and Houston contractors
William A. Smith and Herman
Brown.
The talk about the stable area
is that while Pin Oak is literally
unknown now, it will bo heard
from within the coming two or
three years.
"We all just wanted to get into
racing." says Miss Abercrombie.
"Last year was our first and we
did pretty well. We won 18 races
" i
and Bennie Green here (the stable's
contract jockey) rode 13 of them.
Two of our wins were in stakes.
We won the Asterita at Aqueduct
and the Marguerite Stakes at Pim
lico with Make a Play, now a 3
year-old filly. She is by War Ad
miral.
"This spring we've won only
twice, but the wins came in suc
cessive races at Jamaica. It looks
like a good sign.
"I'm a real greenhorn at thor
oughbred racing but I'm beginning
to get the hang of it.
"I've been showing show horses
and hackney ponies since I was six
and while 1 still show hackneys
I'm beginning to believe racing
holds more fascination, more ex
citement."
At the National Horse Show in
Madison Square Garden last fall.
Miss Abercrombie won 12 out of
13 firsts in various hackney com
petitions.
Her Glenholme Troubadour won
the American Horse Show Associ
ation honors as champion hackney
pony of 1953.
If Miss Abercrombie has half as
much success with Pin Oak Farm
as she's had with hackneys she will
be happy.
She has named all of the stable's
horses but Eat and Run. That colt
was named by her dad, Houston oil
man James S. Abercrombie.
"I like the name, too," she says.
"He's by Eight Thirty-Brown Bis
cuit."
Among those she named are
Bless Pat by Pavot, Light Note by
Noor. Roman Patrol by Roman.
Luminary by Heliopolis, War and
Peace by War Adrimal and Fleet
Colors, a Count Fleet filly.
Possibly the hardest way to start
I
a racing stable is to begin with un
tried colts and fillies. That's just
the way Pin Oak Farm began, hav
ing purchased baby racers at the
Keeneland, Ky? and Saratoga year
ling sales.
Miss Abercrombie agrees it may
not be the easiest way to break
into'racing but "it's the most in
teresting way, especially when you
can bid in the offspring of good
sires and dams."
