"Two weeks ago I sent him out to work a half mile in ."0. He did not seem to be running fast, but he covered the distance in -17. with a big exercise hoy pulling and hauling him all over the track. I have worked on him two years and dont know now when he can be sent to I In; races. There is an irresistible fascination in training a phenomenal horse like Uncle. If I ever get him right you will see the sprinter of the ccniury." Mr. Hildreth concluded his talk on Uncle by saying that his entire stable is in first-class shape.
