+ * MORSES THAT WON ,000 AND OVER DURING 1911 + + Beeaase of winning a 0. iH match race, the twoyear-old Worth acquired lac honor of being the chief tnoacy winner of the year just past, thereby emulating tie example set by the two-year-old Novelty in 1!»10. I. ven so, hi- total of 0,045 i- meager compared with the princely sum* falling to the leaders tar many rears past. The unfortunate three-year-old. Governor Gray, knisbed secoad to Worth in money won. followed in order by /-• ii-. Plate Glass. Meridian, Sound the World and Lawtou Wiggins, only these seven Dorses winning :.- much as |10.000. In 1910 twenty-one horses won from 2,030 down to S10.O7O. of which Zci- wns the only one that ftgnred in the lucky -even list of 1011. However, if in the matter of money to lie earned 1911 contrasted disadvantsgeously with it- predecessors, -m-h was not the ease in regard to its racing. Displays of speed and stamina uf the highest order delighted spectators at all tracks where the -port was permitted and the horses demonstrated convincingly that they were Sp to the standard of the l«est iverage years, although none appesred of the superlative class of Colin. Possibly Priseiniaa may have been I lie best hoi se of the year except Iitz Herbert. At any rate he won his seven races of the year in superb style without the stain of a single defeat, while Kitz Herbert was beaten twice. In one of his defeats the latter could have won. finishing second to his -table comrade. King lame-, but in the other case, the Toronto Cup. bis 135 pound- proved too much in a fast run race and he was squarely beaten, although making ■l grand effort and finishing lose up. Another brilliant member of the older division was the live year-old Plate Glass. Prevented by raarmlttes from doing much in 1910, Piste Glass raced soaadly and in grand form in 1911. showing extreme speed, weight carrying capacity of a high order and admirable gameness and stamina, in short a hor-e that would have been an ornament to racing in any year.

By common consent Worth and The Manage, were the best -how n in Kentucky racing, while on the Canadian sad Maryland tracks the distinction of being l est rests with Pttggins, Aldeb.iran.
