TETRATEMA BEST ENGLISH YOUNGSTER Gray Son of The Tetrarch .Wins Champagne Stakes in Commanding Style, Major McCalmonts Tetratema is now regarded as the best two-year-old in Englaud. His quality was last displayed in the .Champagne Stakes at Don-caster September 9, which race he won in a canter by four lengths from Orpheus, He Goes, Southern and Poltava, all cracks. Tetratema is a. big. long striding, gray colt, of fine action, with a kindly disposition. He Is easily placed in his races, and is hailed as the favorite for the 1920 Epsom Derby. The Champagne Stakes distance is" three-quarters of a mile, and it was at the end of the race that Tetratema showed his quality. He carried 120 pounds, and as an odds-on 15 to 8 favorite wbn in 1:15, the last three hundred yards fast. The Champagne Stakes has not fallen to many horses that were afterward destined to win the Derby. The Colonel was an old-timer that ran a dead-heat for the Epsom classic, but he was beaten in the run-off by Cadland. The Flying Dutchman, Cre-morne, Ayrshire, Ladas and Rock Sand were the only other Champagne winners that added the Derby to their juvenile honors, and of the more recent winners of the Doncaster race, Slieve Gallion was only third in the Derby Avon by Orby, and Neil Gow fourth for that Secured by Lembe?g. which Craganour was disqualified by the stewards after his Epsom victory in favor of Aboyeur. which, although he was awarded the race, palpably bored Craganour halfway across the course at the finish and was the luckiest horse that ever looked through a bridle to get the race. In the year after Craga-nours Champagne victory the race fell to The Tetrarch, which but for his habit of overreaching would probably have secured the Derby of 1914.
