as dam the mare which once held the

bay filly will have a future that vii
be watched with keenest interest by
all breeders and horsemen generally
The dam is the famous trotting cham
pion Nancy Hanks, 2.O4. and the sire
the equally noted Arion, 2.0IA-s
champion bred to a champion. Like
all of Arion's get this filly IS strongly
marked by her sire's individuality
She is a complete bay, barring white
