 R. s. Tomlinson's pacing stallion. Fleet
 that is advertised in another column, ha
 wintered nicely and is looking fine thi
 spring. He is advertised to have show : quarter mile at a 2.19 gait and we hop
 the day is not far off when we can repol e his full mile in 2.19. Mr Tomlinson t kept very busy handling colts. He is t good colt trainer and his stables are ker
 full; as soon as one goes another come
 to take it's place.
 - Says Ed Geers, and he hits the nail Q
 the head, People care just as much nov I to see a fast pacing race as a trottin : race. I think it makes little difference t those who really wish to see an evenl
 matched horse race which way they ar
 going. Prejudice against the pacer, mere ly because he is a pacer, is thing of tn ' past. What the public wants is req 2 genuine horse race, whether betwee
 trotters or pacers. It does not cost a i much to develop a. pacer as trotter an a my experience has been that they com n to their speed more quickly and that f what is the matter with the trotter now s It costs too much to train and develo T him and many have failed to bring in an e returns. think as race families increas s and become estab blished among them the q will also be trained with less expense t like the pacer.
