___________ | Lincoln Fields Notebook I By J. J. MURPHY HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., June 4.— Trainer Tony Rupelt, who assisted the late John Goode so capably for a number of years, has 12 thorough- ___________ breds he is conditioning for various patrons. Rupelt reports that the two -year-old Mr. Good has been nominated for all the big stakes in this area, and that he may be a serious threat. "At least," says trainer Rupelt, "jockey Steve Brooks thinks the world of him." Rupelt and his crew of men can hardly ever forget dear old Kentucky with a juvenile in the barn named Old Ky. Ham and a three-year-old named Southern Cookin. Tony also has a two-year-old by Tiger Rebel named Little Reb out of Sea Shell. This is Tiger Rebels first crop. The stallion was a favorite racer in this area not too long ago. Rupelt retained all of Mr. Gocdes help when the horses were turned over to him. This may be the last year of racing for Uncle Otho, bow 12. Trainer Goode was often asked why Uncle Otho, owned by Lucas Combs, was kept, in training and racing. He explained several times that Uncle Otho would literally go to pieces on the farm, but when brought to the races would pick up a couple of hundred pounds. Perhaps someone should make a lead pony out of Uncle Otho after his racing career and keep him happy. The two -year-old Possess, who graduated here recently is a half-brother of the stakes winning False. Both are out of the Cohort mare, Heart Breaker Trainer and. A.
