THE HORSE

The meeting Of klamath and Agi-
tato at the Los Angeles fair promises
to be the light-harness event of the sea-
son in California. says the San Francisco
Chronicle. klamath Is being prepared
for the race at the Santa Ana track by
Tom Raymond. his driver and owner,
Klamath's mile in 2:071s is the fastest
made this year by gelding. Agitato
is the sensational young performer of
the year. He should be able to pace the
Los Angeles track in 2:07, and should
centainly go three heats in 2:10 or bet
ter, while the 3-year-old son Of Stein
way will certainly have to do sd in order
to beat klamath.
Ottinger trotted on Friday at Stock
ton in 2:09%, the fastest heat ever seen
in the west. To him belongs the coast
championship, for he not only trotted
two heats in 2:09% under adverse condi-
tions, but the three fastest heats ever
trotted on the coast He is owned by
Winship & Keating, and has been cam
paigned most of the season In Montana,
where he won without difficulty. He is
California production by Dorsey's
Nephew, from mare by G.. M. Patchen.
Ottinger, named after the ticket broker,
is an easy gated little horse, game as a
pebble, and when given his head shows
remarkable turns of speed. The horse
is famous all over the world, for he
holds the worlds championship as a
double-gaited steed, having won the
title from Directum. AS a PAGER last
year he secured a race record of 2:11k.
His real pacing record should be 2:09 3-5,
for in race with Chehalis at Los Ange-
les Mr.. Winship wagered $1O0 that Ottin-
ger would beat 2:10, and asked the
judges to time him separately and an
nounce it from the stand. He was Sec
ond to Chehalis, and the Judges an
nounced his time as 2:09 3-5 Ever
since he has had the advantage of Mr..
Winship's training he has shown con-
stant improvement Next season he
will be campaigned in the east, and al
though he may never eclipse the world S
record, he is game enough to give horse
who may hold it a very hard tussIe
Andy Mcdowell, who drove Azote in his
great race, says Ottinger can beat him.
Timed separately in the second heat on
Friday, he trotted in 2:0S, and consid-
ering that he was forced to go on the
outside all the way, nearly an eighth
horseman who witnessed his perform
ance declared that he could have trot-
ted in 2:06. Mr. Winship says he can
pace in 2:06. If this is correct he is a
wonder of wonders.
