MAHER CONSIDERS ROCK SAND BEST. "I consider Rock Sand the best horse in England," said jockey Danny Maher to an eastern newspaper man recently. "At least, he has always been a favorite with me, although I must admit that the mare Pretty Polly Is the greatest thoroughbred I have ever seen. She can win at five furlongs or live miles. She is at her best at one mile and a quarter, however. Bachelors Button is anothex good horse. He has been defeated once in the Grand Prix de Municipal at Paris by Presto, a French racer. Cicero, the Derby winner, is another."
