Taral enters Marcus Days service
on April /. If Senator Grady starts,
and they wish him to ride with a
couple of pounds overweight, that will
be his mount in the spring handicaps.
If he can't get down TO the weight. and
Grady starts. he will not ride any other
horse in the race, as he is working for
the interests of the stable that regu-
larly employs him. Apropos of Halma.

anything in the gone amiss' report.

had been the case. and he has heard
nothing from them yet.

the other day II he had another Henry
of Navarro or a Halnfa up his sleeve
by a Louisville reporter. he replied:
Moo. I cannot say that I have Horses
like Henry and Halma do not grow on
trees. but have one or two fairly good
ones. such as Nmrcd, Prince Lief.
Caesarian and Moylan. which may
make somebody's horse know that they
have been to the races to beat them
before the season is over. All my
horses are In good condition. and I
have no doubt that I'll come out all
rigint this season. But that Navarro"
sighed Mr.. McClelland. going back to
his first love, Til tell you, taken as a
whole. he was the best horse I ever
saw. He was of good disposition. A
child could handle him. He was as
fast as a ghost. and didn't know
when TO quit. OF course he was beaten
at times. but very seldom, and then
only In very large fields, where he was
knocked about believe that even with
top weight he will win the big handi-
CAPS this year The only horses that
i think might trouble him are those
two 3-year-old Handspring and Ben
Brush. III anyone beats Henry in the
brooklyn l believe II will be one of
those two. / know thar most trainers
and judges In the country say that a
S-year-old cannot win against older
horses, but IL is my belief that they
can"
