wellfurnished and bloodlike bloodline horse His hardcolored varicolored chestnut coat has an almost midsummer polish Hand ¬ ball was handicapped in the early part pf last season by having a bad splint This has now been got rid of and as he is today I reckon him one of the most valuable horses in training and certainly to be heard from in stake events eventsThe events The 2yearolds of which there

damBut ambit But the pick of the lot is the Hindoo Indoor Bonnie Gal colt who is a good deal on the same order as his sire This highly tried youngster has like the others in the string come on in the right way Still on looking him over the other day he struck me as being just a bit lacking in range for a colt of high class not that he is on the pinched order by any means yet at present he is a bit lacking in length for one on his lines Quite a smart racylooking crayoning colt is the bay by Favor Belle Garland GarlandThe Garland The Prince of Wales has signed Watts the English jockey for first
