The great futurity race at Sheepshead
bay, Saturday afternoon, was won by n
horse that under ordinary circumstances
would not have been permitted to leave
his stable. Morello, before 10000 specta-
tors, and over Il track deep in mud, cap
tured the great event by two lengths from
August Belmont's Lady Violet.
While the winner stood at the post
before the race had started saliva fell from
his nostrls to the track in prufuse quanti-
ties, and the fifty or hundred people that
had iourneyed to the post to see the seven
teen contestants begin the Futurity
struggle thought that Trainer Frank Van
Ness must be crazy to send his colt to the
post in such condition.
They were amazed beyond description
to learn, upon their return to the Judges
stand, that this same colt had won the
S75.OOO prize by two open lengths from
Lady Violet.
startling facts. First, that he is an I'M
exceptionally game animal, and second
that this years 2-year-olds are worse than
Il bad lot.
