it being claimed that he was a ringer,
but his owner, S. W. Hart, of Hopedale
claimed that he had bought the horse
at an auction and that he had never
been raced before. On the contrary,
others claimed that he was the horse

which he took the heats seemed to give
ground to this, and clearly evidenced
that he did not belong in the 2;30 class
