Horsemen interested In the development Of
the thoroughbred are fayorably impressed
with the views OF the veteran breeder and ON
clal. James Galway. on the subject. He voices
the sentiments Of many conservative judges
when he points out that two-year-olds are be-
ing catered to on a disproportlonate scale and
that there are not enough inducements for the
! older horses. The results Of the seasons rae
Ing so far serve TO bear out this theory, as
there has bsen q marked scarcity Of matured
horses Of handicap class. Some OF the best
have broken dow or retired for other reasons.
but the generally accepted idea is that horses
are made too much use of In their frat racing
season. and that. should they succeed In
training on. the inducements to petsevere
with them are not sufficient. In France two
year-olds are not allowed to race until the
early fall, but here they are banging away
from Jan. l at New Orleans to the drop OF the
curtain at Baltimore. The system certainly
seems 10 need revision, and admirers OF the
thoroughbred are hoping that such a timely
protest from IL man Of Mr.. aalway's experience
will not be passed over lightly.

been wondering how they could ill In the
