Horse Notes.
It was supposed by some that in Butte
the other day Vera. Huntley b Clark
speedy mare, was held back. Mr.. Huntley
always starts his horses to win. It was not
generally known, but it was nevertheless a
fact, that the day before the race Trainer
Prentice whom Mr.. Huntley has since dis
charged) sent Vera around the track three
heats faster than 1925, one of them being in
2:22. This took all the starch out Of the
mare, and it was therefore not strange that
Dollie beat her out, though she was started
to win.
Reports of jobbery in the Butte free-for.
all, won by Manning, were rife among some
| of the Butte visitors who came over yester-
day to attend the Helena races. Horsemen
! however, say that Condo could not win, al
two days previous he had been pushed to<
hard in the 2:3O trot. In conversation II
hotel in New York about ten days agt
Grin Hickock, Budd Doble and other vel
| known trotting horse trainers were discus
sing horses within the hearing of New
York Tribune reporter, and the horst
Condo was spoken of. Hickock said b.
would wager $1,000 that he could taxi
Condo and make him trot three heats bette
than 2;18.
