back TO town with a high opinion OF the blood
Ike colt, but few OF them believed he had speed
enough to take the measure OF the nineteen
crack campaieners that were named to start
against him at Detroit. After the race Charley
Thompson said:
1t was a question OF pedigree when the con-
test narrowed down TO Belle J. and Directum
Kelly. TIL Kansas mare Is short bred on her
sire's side. and she's out OF an unknown dam.
1 don't like to ride behind that kind OF breeding
when there's n hard fight and q lot OF money up.
The colt, however. Is bred like a racehorse. No
thoroughbred ever was gamer than the limo that
comes down from Dictator, the brother Of old
Dexter, through Director and Direct. Anteeo.
the sire of Kelly's dam, was about the gamest of
the Eectioneers. and back OF that lie the thor
oughbred blood OF Limerick Boy. Now what
kind OF a chance would a bush-bred trotter like
Belle ]. receive to live II out with that fellow In
a hard-fought racer Ihear that Nick Hubinger
bet $4,000 against the ~favorite on account Of
her short pedigree and stood pat after she had
won two heats"
Although the time made in the big race OF the
Detroit meeting was tho fastest on record for
that event. the speed average for the week fell
short OF last years meeting. and some OF tho
races we're among the most commonplace over
seen In the Grand Circuit. The average for
thirty-six heats trotted during the week was
22:I3, and r. I9r the thirty.nine heats paced Il was
