LEOCHARES NOT THE SPRINTEROF OLD Horsemen doubt whether Leochares will ever race again as well as he has done. John Powers believed hira to be- in his best condition for Mondays race, yet he failed to beat St.. Isidore or Corn Tassel and the latter was giving him two pounds in weight, according to scale. The Leochares of old would have won a race such as that easily a year ago. While he is still good enough to win races, the general opinion prevails he cannot any more be classed with the better quality of sprinters.
