HOW GREAT GAINSBOROUGH WAS BRED The success of that great horse Gainsborough, the English champion of 1!I18, and the highest priced fee sire now there, brings out a story from Mr. Allison of the London Sportsman, who writes: "Gainsboroughs granddam Rosaline was so small as a two-year-old that Morton advised Mr. .1. It. Joel that it would be useless to train her, and she was consequently given to the late Dick Luckman for the Fresh Air Fund. He got tobether a lot of other wastrels for the same purpose, and they were sold at a Hurst Park meeting. I bought Rosaline for 2r, simply because she was by Trenton, and the rest of the story is well known how she became the dam of ltosedrop. winner of the Oaks, which in her turn produced Gainsborough." .
