have still another chance to show how great
a colt he really is In looking over the result
of the Futurity. horsemen reached the con-
clusion yesterday that Ormondale beat one
of tho poorest fields that ever went to the
post for this turf classic, But they did not
detract from the merit OF the Ormond" colt 5
performance, for the reason that he ran the
distance over a track that was cappv aud
dead in the record time hung up by Artiul
last year over track that was lightning fast.
That Ormondale is high class colt none of
the turf sharps deny but there are so many
excellent two-year- olds who did noe run in
Saturdays race that a general hesitancy to
hail the Ormonde colt champion is con-
spicuounly prevalent. For that reason 1t is
hoped that Trainer Welsh will start the
Futurity winner in race with as many Of
the youthful stars as possible.
Sysonby will probably be a starter in the
rich Century Stakes. for three-year-olds and
upward one mile and half, also to be run
next Saturday. on past performances and

be an easy race for the famous Melton three
