Tor the splendid success Of ParoleY" Mr.. San
lord said:
." In tho first place he ia one Of our best
horses. and has shown himself such by his
previous performances here. He started in
Lagland in his highest racing form. which was
equul. or perhaps better than he has shown in
this country. They very much underrated him.
and weighted him accordingly, expecting 10
beat him with second class horses. To their
astoniRhment they found themselves beaten.
To show that such was the case. We see that he
picks up additional weights as penalty. and still
Is victorious.
After short pause Mr.. Sanford continued:
" IL the Duke OF Magenta runs up to his Amer
lean form. as Parole has done he will astonish
the English"
In Mr.. Sanford's oplnon we have a racing
strain in Lexington one degree better than any
thing the English have.
