horses work In the morning.

Root, three-quarters at a two-minute
gait. also the Montana favorite, Sena-

Farrar and TuberviIle had Flashlight
out and gave him a pipe opener.
Torsida. Daggie Smiths promising
candidate for the derby. pulled up lame
after a workout. IL is hoped IL Is moth
ing serious. This is Mr.. Smiths first
trip to Montana. and Torsida has a
good chance for the derby. having
beaten good horses all distances in
California.
Mike Hennessy, who will ride for
Marcus DAILY this summer. was a visi-
tor at the track yesterday and gal
loped McLight for BILLY Randall. Me-
Light is a very deceptive horse. when
moving slowly he looks as though he
couldn't beat n fat man." but when
he has the colors up is quite a different
horse. He has lone three-quarters in
1:13h several times and can go well up
to a mile and an eighth.
Henry williams has four horses be-
longing in Montana who are looking
well.
The track Is now In good condition
and the horsemen say IL is much better
than the California tracks.
The Oregon Short Line got I'm yes

are Red s.. Quick Silver, Pettigrew,
Buffalo, Paddy, Yakima Dick, etc.
In spite of the fare-up that was seen
on the two opening days of the Grave
send meeting, the racing there has APP
parently settled into "a very

nal. There will be nothing particular

public form at any rate. looks like a
gift for Jean Beraud. For this stake.

The most notable Of lean Beraud's
opponents are Gold Car, who is prob
ably very much better than he has yet
shown. Kingdom. Autumn. Glenheim.

Prestidigitatrice and Fflon dor. There
is nothing In the lot that can, on public
showing, be expected to make Jean
Beraud extend himself. II Is still a
question how good the colt Is. His
stable Is open in saying that IT has not
this knowledge. He has not been tried
TO death in private and has done all
that was eve yet asked of him.. so that
his owners and trainer really do not
know much more of what he really can
accomplish than the public hat has
seen him race.
And yet Jean Beraud would never
give the casual observer the impress
sion that he is a high-class horse.
How high does he stand?' was the
question put to Ed Feakes. his trainer.
"Scant IL hands and an inch. but he
weighs like everything" was the reply,
and IL conveys a better description of
the horse than "A mere elaborate pen
picture. Jean Beraud is a big little
horse, like Mr.. Jorrock's Multum in
Parvo. II Is truth. and not derogatory.

inches he covers "A lot of ground. lie is

day. he is pretty nearly the ideal for
2-year-old racing.
The great "a run by Han DO In
the Latonia Derby. one and one-half
miles. on Thursday, when he defeated
the mighty Plaudit. stamps him as one
of the best 3-year-olds ever produced.
Plaudit was thought invincible. but the
son of Hanover-Fleur dor took his
measure and made every post a win
ming one. unnin three-quarters in
liza. the mile in l:40k. mile and a quar-
ter In 2:01L and the mile and a half in
2:32L,. a feat never before accomplished
by a 3-year-old. The Latonia track is
always good and safe, but at its best
IL is not last like the California tracks
and those at Westchester and Har-
lem.
Such a victory over such n distance,
I'm such time. means a lot to students
of breeding and racing, for none but
the very best bred ones can carry sc
high a rate OF speed so long "A dis
