RACING OF MARES WITH FOAL The question as to the working of mares after four or five months of being in foal must be considered In a variety of ways, says BaHeys Magazine. It has been shown that a mare five months with foal will win u long tiring race under even punishment, with no bad results apparently. Several winners of the Ccsarewitch can be quoted, and when Noelie, a French marc, won the Prix Imperial at Paris over four miles by a short head in November, and was so exhausted that she had to be supported to the weighing stand, she had a good colt foal the follbwing; April, that subsequently under the: name of Don. Carlos was n notable winner over long distances. This proved that neither the mare nor her offspring was .injured by a somewhat extreme use made of both the mother and unborn colt.
