FAST TIMES AT SPRINTING DISTANCES. No large number of truly great horses were engaged in American racing last year, but fast sprinters were by no means lacking. The majority of the horses which displayed their speed in short distance racing in 1915 will be back in racing this year, although our Canadian neighbors will miss the Texas star Pan Zareta. It may be assumed that as a rule the best sprinters of 1S15 will be able to repeat in 1916. wherefore in a condensed way the following tables will serve to refresh memory as to what the most noteworthy displays of speed in 1915 were and by what horses made. Handicappers especially should find them helpful. One -Half in 48 or Faster. Horse. A.Wt. Track. Date. Time. Busy Alice . . 2 105 New Orleans . . .
