her honors against the watch, Fereno
has won her laurels battling with giant
trotters down the quarter stretch
Seven seconds now separate the trot-
ting queen and the champion race mare
of TODAY. but the latter in actual con-
tests against horses shines as far above
Lou Dillon as Billings great mare does
in time records over the pride of the
Hardness barn.
In no season during her entire career
has Fereno wintered in better form
than this year. At all times an ex
traordinary good doer, the daughter of
Moko seems to be far better right now
than ever before and she has not given
her trainer an anxious thought since he
pulled the harness off her last fall.
Statistics compiled by a trotting au-
thority here show Fereno one of the
most sensational of all trotting mares.
She has 2-year-old record of PIT, a
3-year-old mark of 2:10%, a 5-year-old
record Of 2:07&, and a 6-year-old rec
ord of 2:0sA. all scored in actual races
IN the hottest kind of company. She
has several best records already to her
credit. She is the only winner of the
double renewal of the Kentucky Flu
turity. both the two and three-year-old
division of that classic stake. Her
mark of 2:06A at Oakley, o., was the
race record for 1903. and her mile at
Memphis. Tenn, 2:O51z, is the world s
record for a two-heat race trotted by a
D1G1C 70 a SuIhy. FOT UVG successive
seasons, beginning as a 2-year-old,
Fereno has been raced. She has all
told raced twenty-three times and has
never yet been outside the money.
