The five-year-old brown horse Kinsman, by Borgia Roma II., is a bad actor at the post. Starter Holtman, who dispatches tbe fields at Santa Anita Park, has been having his troubles with him. Dennis Stafford, which was left behind In the east by Fred Burlew, has been gelded and now appears a fine coming three-year-old. Last spring lie showed good form, and If looks co.int lie should come back to it again next season.
