NEAR THE 200000 MARK The mighty Exterminator stands at the threshold of the equine hall of fame over which only one horse in American turf his ¬ tory has passed that being the super horse Man o War It was reserved for the year 1920 to produce the first American winner of 5200000 in the now everfamous Man o War In two years of racing he won 249 485 Now the gallant Exterminator the greatest cup winner in the world bids fair to share some of the honors enjoyed by Man o WELT alone Exterminator has won to date 192874 and unless he meets with an accident seems destined to enter the charmed and select circle of 200000 winners of which there are only eight on record six in England one in France and one in the United States Exterminator is at present as sound as the day he was foaled and his Clark Handicap and other victories this year have shown that he is apparently as formi ¬ dable as of old There is no reason unless ho meets with a mishap why this truly great race horse should not only pass the 200000 mark but closely approach the rec ¬ ord of Man o War It will be pleasing to record such an achievement and certain it is all admirers of tho thoroughbred horse tho world over would rejoice and applaud the feat
