Young Lauded for Handling Of Crippled Colt Hot Drop MELBOURNE, Australia, June 20. Dominion trainer Wallace Young in deserving of high praise for his handling of the top-ranking colt Hot Drop this season. This brilliant chestnut son of Faux Tirage Big Game from the great racemare Sweet Spray has one deformed hock and, when galloping around bends, it causes him to knock himself hard. Veteran farrier George Clifton has tried to correct the trouble but so far has failed. The semi-straight six furlongs at Trentham helped the colt to win the Telegraph Handicap. The Dominions ace sophomore Somerset Fair c6mes within the category of "plain, but splendid," for his action is flawless and there is an obvious great reserve of power coupled with an easy action which is deceptive in its reach.
