to get another stable of good horses to- :
gether and go back to Europe next fall.
Racing over there Is great sport, am4
there is more money in it than there ID
in this country when you understand
the game. We were treated Kindly
in England, and had we had good horses
would have won more races. The main
thing over there Is to know how to plaoo
your horses" Reiff the stable Jockey.
who returned with Mr.. Duke, says: II
like England but I like America better.
At first the Jockeys over there treated
me rather mean. but when we won racer

the fourth, and he bet close to $500 at
odds of about 13 to 5, winning in the
neighborhood of $4,000 on this deal. In
the last race he dropped about $1,000 on
Shield Bearer we are told, though some
say he switched and played Babe Muir
