THE INvINCIBLE DOMINO

compared to any horse in the world. Ayrshire in 1889 won $193,3 ,330 for his owner. The stakes won by the Eng fish colt, however, averaged a greater net value than did those taken by the brown son of Himyar that Mr. Keene senior named Domino. It might also be said that the duke of Portland's stable is the only one likely to be ahead of the Keene stable at the end of this season, for the money won thus far amounts to $369, 300.
 Jockey Fred Taral rode Domino in every one of his races with the excep- tion of the Great Trial, when Americas best jockey, Edward H. Garrison, piloted the colts to victory. Dominos speed was known to every turfnan in the country who could read long before he made his appearance, and the consequence was that May 9, at Gravesend, when he faced the starter in fve-furlong sweepstakes, the tall cnt made the maiden colt an odds on favorite. He won in 1:02, cantcring in easily with field of ten behind him strung out according to their quality. Five days later he won the Great American stakes at five furlongs, car rying 119 pounds, in 1:012l, beating Dobbins, his principal rival, Joe Rip ley, Declare and four others. With the same weight up Domino showed his qualities at Morris park, winning the Great Eclipse stakes, six furlongs, in 1:12l, again defeating Dobbins, De- clare and others The Great Trial stakes fell to him, although he carried 125 pounds, and Dobbins, Hyderabad and six others were behind him. These victories were sufficient to in- duce the Keenes to send him to Washington park to capture the worlds fair and Hyde park stakes. Domino came under the special care of Trainer Lakeland, with Fl Tele- grafo, whom the public regarded as merely a stable companion" to the wonder. Great was the astonishment when Domino was withdrawn because of the trace of lameness that had ap- peared and Fl Telegrafo was left to bear the Keene colors to victory in the exposition stake Some said Domino's stable mate got the stake by a fuke, but the Keenes received the money nevertheless, and Domino had no diff culty on July 13 in winning the Hyde park stake. By this time Domino was talked of in every sporting retreat as the Futurity winner. When the Produce stake was placed to his credit August 19, the people said the Futuri- ty was all over but the shouting. True to form, Domino bore 130 pounds over the Futurity course and captured that event. worth $49, ,350, after a hard drive from Dobbins and Galilee. The dead heat with Dobbins came next, and to conclude his achievements in we'll rounded manner Domino broke the worlds record in winning the last great two-year old event, the Matron stakes. Morello, the best two-year-old of 1892, became the greatest three-year- old of the country in 1893; why will not Domino be wonder next year?
