She won frees Frizette just as easily as Frizette won from her company today, and I am more and more convinced that she is all 1 had hoped lor. "In my opinion she will show locveti better advantage when Belmont i reached, for here at Aqueduct there is just a t title too much cushion to the track to suit her exactly. She wants a harder surface and I know she has not jet shown her beat. She cost. ..Uo .» and has long since paid lor herself.
