Regarding His Highness and the plan
Of campaign his stable is likely to follow
with the champion of 1881, gentleman
who is upon confidential terms with
Eessrs. Gideon and DAILY, the colts
owners. made a few remarks the other
night that are worth repeating, says
Capt. Absolute in the Chicago Horse
man. Said he: Il shouldn't be sur
priSed if Gideon had His Highness pre-
pared specially for the Suburban and
Realization, and that he won't be seen
antii then. The two races will be worth
more money than dozen ordinary
stakes. Besides, they are run within
two weeks of each other, and a single
preparation would do for both. The
Suburban would not be likely to hurt
him, rs he'd have two weeks rest for
the Realization. 1t will be the hardest
TO win with 1l2 pounds, while on last
years form the Realization would be his
10 certainty"

81 times, last season, but it is said that the
Guide Is not correct. Zaldivar ran
eleven times, was unplaccd in his two
hrst races, and then won nine times in
succession. CaliforDianS of good judg-
melt consider The colt The best in the
West. His owner Says: II have no
way of determining whether he has
si;twn form enough for chance in the
Washington Park stakes, iii which he is
entered. He has wintered well, but
know nothing of his ability TO go mile
and quarter CT further"
Zadivar is chestnut gelding, three
years Old, 1913 hands in height, weighs
about $50 pounds, and has three white
legs and blaze in the face. The colt
Is built on the greyhound lines, with a
thin neck and lots of room beneath. He
carries no supeTf1uous flesh, is light in
the waist with slopirg rump and
shoulders, and very well muscled. Gen
orally Zaldlvar IS a typical light-bodied
racing machine with excellent legs,
which have never given him tie least
trouble. He is one of the Joe Hooker
family.

What will you do with 70 Tambien
in the Garfield Dcrby?'' was asked.
We'll, I'll beat her, that's what I'll do. -
: was Storms immediate response. Cen
tella will run her 10 stand-still the
first three-quarters of a mile, and vii!
gallop away from her during the rest of
the journey.'
Another three-year-old that Storm ex-
poets to return winner is the colt
Honshell, a full brother to Toano. He
has wintered well. and it may be that
he has developed into as great one as
his famous relative.
There will be plenty of derby talk
and derby speculation from this time
on. The Memphis derby, the first TO be
disposed Of, has fine lot of entries, and
with little more data TO be obtained in
a few weeks from now, speculation and
surmises about this and that animal
