OUR TWENTY BEST TWO-YEAR-OLDS TRYSTER SELECTED AS THE CHAMPION OF THE YEAR, WITH LEONARDO II. NEXT BEST AND GREY LAG THIRD THREE CAPITAL FILLIES CLOSE UP , Although quite a large number of races will be Avon by two-year-olds between now and January 1, 1921, the story of the year is made up, so far as the high-class two-year-olds are concerned. There was no equal to Man o War abroad this year, nevertheless some highly promising young horses were developed, and there is a cheerful, promise of good three -year-olds for next year. By virtue of his unbeaten career, winding up with his smashing victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at a mile last Saturday, Tryster is clearly entitled to take rank as the . champion two-year-old of 1920. By the same token of having won all his races, the Hopeful Stakes. winner, Leonardo II., is as plainly labeled for second place. Both are splendid two-year-olds which met all that was required of them satisfactorily. It might be said that Inchcape won his two races in a way that made a great impression, but lie had to "be retired early on account of unsoundness, and it is said to be doubtful whether he ever goes to the post again. , . It is an open question whether some of the fine fillies of the year do not corns next to the stars mentioned. Certainly in Prudery, Careful, Step Lightly, Crocus, Ten-Lec, Nancy Lee, Idle Dell and Believe Idle Hour there is a group unusual in any year, and it may be that the colts are not to have things all their own way in the big stakes for three-year-olds next year. The racing of Careful and Prudery will stand a lot of inspection and dissection. A number of two-year-olds came out in early racing which were quickly marked to do great things, but they did not. Some of . them may make -good next year. In the, meantime, the twenty tnat seem best by the test of meritorious racing and their records are the following: . .W Horse. Col. and Sex. Pedigree. Owner.
