His owner regards him as a real prospect for the Kentucky Derby and tliis week stated that he had not so long ago refused a "lot of money" for him. "This is a fast and good horse," said Young, as he flopped the colts mane over to the proper side of his neck. "With a decent break at the post, where he was off twelfth, he would have won the Cincinnati Trophy. He closed a big gap and was coming fast at the finish, where he was beaten only two lengths, a neck and two heads. Ho can run in the mud or on the dry."
