his nor his trainers Judgment nor their
collective knowledge OF racing can be
very great IL the running OF the Scotch
man IT and Gerolstein Is to them in
expllcable."
Sporting Llfe's commissioner takes
the same lire adding;
,'The idea that The Scotchman III
could have been pulled at Doncaster
seems quashed by the fact Of his de-
feating the Gerolstein horse OF Dur
hams under the circumstances he did"
