sidored by many 10 be the greatest race
horse I'm training. will never race again.
IL was with a feeling OF amazement that
horsemen learned that the horse had
suddenly gone wrong and had been
thrown out of training. A. j. Joyner had
been putting him under a special pre-
paration for the $4,000 Brighton cup race,
which would have wound up his cam
paign for this season. but two days ago
Water Boy showed lameness and training
was declared Off The trouble Is in the
right foreleg underneath the pastern.
While IL has not been pronounced
breakdown. the horse is I'm such cond-
tion as to warrant alarm on the part of
his trainer and owner.
A great deal of talk was caused by
the proposed match between Water Boy
and McChesney, arranged to be run at
Brighton Beach last July. Water Boy
was ready, but at the last moment Me-
Chesney went lame. There was no fur
ther chance for a match until after Nc
Chesney had won the Twin City handi-
cap. when the topic was revived. Trainer
Joyner was willing. but Owner Haggin
decided that Water Boy could not indulge
in another race this year except the
Brighton cup. at 2h miles.
