My Own. it will be recalled, trained off badly later in the fall and failed to perform up to expectations. MY OWX "WINTERS "WELL. The son of King James has wintered well and has been placed in active training at the local course. Trainer Burch is not rushing tho colt, however, and he has not been asked for speed as yet. It is possible that he will not be seen under colors until the New York meetings are under way. The other horses in the stable are going along slowly in their preparations for the coming season. Some of them should be ready to start during the early days of the season. Although Burch is in charge of the stable, W. II. Brooks is the nominal trainer of the horses. Samuel Ross has signed E. Barnes, who is at present riding at Tijuana, and the jockey is expected to report to the stable in the near future.
