who trained Gold Heels. has been engaged
to handle the Brady stable and George Odom
will probably be retained to do the heavy
weight riding. Allen began getting Bradys
horses together yesterday when he purchased
from j. q. Greener the crack two year-od colt
Oseau. by Ornus-Kitty Gunn for S25, 900.
For some time past Brady has been anxious
to secure Oiseau. for he has regarded him as
the best colt Of his age In training and the
superior OF the great Sysonby. star of the
Kecne stable. When Oiseau won handicap
at Gravesend. with 1872 pounds on his back.
after phenomenal race, Allen offered
Greener 5000 cash for the colt but the re-
fusal was immediate. Oiseaus victory over
the wonderful hlly. Tradition. in the Cham
payne Stakes last Wednesday was the last
straw. Brady decided then and there that
he must have the colt and asked, through
Allen to have price put on him. Greener
said $40, 900 would buy the son of Ornus with
out further haggling. but the matter hung
fire until yesterday when S25 900 was handed
over and Allen took Oiseau away to the stable.
Brady was well satisfied with the deal and
told his friends that IN his belief Oseau would
turn out to be the champion three-year
next season.

to hang up q IS. 900 purse for a special race
in which Sysonby. Oiseau and Tradition
may meet at Aqueduct at any distance that
may be agreed upon by the owners. Ira
