Constantino Bred to Stag Forever Distance of the Latonia Championship Stakes Should Suit Him Admirably His Sire Good Race Horse and Proven Stayer By EXILE Mr. George Longs Latonia Championship Stakes maiden Constantino is bred to stay forever and a day. I well remember seeing his sire. The AVhite Knight, stroll home for the Ascot Gold Cup in 1908, beating two approved stayers in Radium and Torpolnt. Exceptions prove the rule, nnd good race horse and proven stayer as be was The AVhite Knight lias so far met with only moderate success as a sire. Thus it was with the "avenger of Waterloo, Gladiateur. However, some day I expect to see The White Knight send .forth something as good as he himself and dissipate the penumbra of ill-success that would envelop him. The only partial success of the offspring of The White Knight may iu part bo attributed to his lack of that most essential requisite in llie race horse speed. Isinglass, sire of Coustantines dam, Perishable, .,was another . long route traveler, though as a tjvbryegr-old his record is vastly superior to that of The White Knight, and Isinglass is another which never Hired a colt or, filly of racing merit equal to his own., Anyway, Constantino is possessed of a thorough staying pedigree, and the distance of the Latonia Championship Stakes should suit him admirably. Coustantines second, finishing with speed and sameness to Stevenson over the mile and an eighth .course at Latonia in June, is pretty good evidence that he inherits at least iu part something of his sires great staying ability.
