j f j j j t , j , , , . , SHIELDS PLANS FOR GO BETWEEN. "Go Between, winner of the Suburban Handicap, the Saratoga Cup and other valuable races during the season, will not be nominated for all the big stakes next year. His only engagement in a big handicap before the fall will be in the Brooklyn if present ideas are followed out," says the Toronto Sunday World. "Go Between is a light-waisted horse and Alexander Shields thinks he will do better in the fall, if he is not overraced in the early months. The Meddler horse, after ids successes this year, and despite his defeat by Martin Doyle the other day, will undoubtedly be asked to pick up big imposts and may, in view of the dearth of high class handicap performers, be first or second in the list of weights for such races as the Brooklyn and Suburban, if he is nominated in them. That he can handle weight in going to his liking is undoubted, but Mr. Shields has no desire to pay big money in forfeits on the sole hope that the important races will be run over muddy tracks. An additional Teason for leaving Go Between out of the early races is that he will be sis years old and may begin to lose his speed as a result of his steady campaigning."
