NOTABLE HORSES TO BE SOLD. The "Special Commissioner" writes as follows in London Sportsman of September 20th, concerning some of the imported horses to be sold in New York October 7 and 8, particulars of the sale being advertised in this issue of Daily Racing Foem :l "Among other horses that have just ben sent out to America, Good Morning, My Boy and Resolute are notable. Good Morning was certainly the speediest colt of his year indeed, poor Lester Reiff was blamed for not beating Volodyovski further on him at Ascot and, being by Gallinule out of Kil-cocks dam, he lacks nothing on the score of blood. My Boy, which is a half-brother to Altosse, Lady Lane, Lady Bob and the yearling filly which made 2,400 guineas at Doncaster last week, first came into note asa really supertf yearling when Charles Archer bought him for the late Mr. Woolf Joel for 1,600 guineas. He was a good racehorse, too, and, winning several times, was fourth in Flying Foxs Derby, and would certainly have been placed had he not been badly interfered with when Holocauste fell. My Boy is somewhat closely related through his sire, Marcion, to St. Gatien, and he is built very much on the lines of that remarkable horse, which won the Cesarewitch by four lengths as a three-year-old, carrying eight st. ten. Which of the much-lauded champions of the earlier days could have accomplished a feat like that? Resolute, the third horse I have mentioned above, was undoubtedly the best miler in Australia when he was sent to this country as a four-year-old, shortly after winning the rich Caulfield Futurity Stakes. He started only once in England, winning in a canter. Ho was then retired to the stud, and has been at Swindon, where he was the property of Mr. Lawrence, M. R. C. "V. S Resolutewill Ibe the only Trenton horse;iin America, and.as he has a really splendid record and is very good looking, he is sure to be in plenty of demand."
