some notable wins over the best that
raced at the Los Angels track.
This one is an aged horse and his
temperance will be his second time
ON earth. figuratlvely speaking, as he
has not raced for two years.
]. Bondy, his owner, has never lost
faith in his ability to come back and
recent trials justify this faith, as the
old campaigner is showing to his best
form just now.
The Goldfinder needs to give thanks
to H. Bondy, his trainer, however, for
the good results obtained in treating
and conditioning him back into his
old-time form. Trainer Bondy says
that The Goldf1nder will make his sec
ond turf debut during the first week
of the Ascot races and will surprise
the old timers by running back to
form and winning his share of the
purses for which he will race.
The Bondy stable will have Jockey
Iceberg Seder on Goldinder and
ether good ones in the string this sea-
son. Seder is under contract for three
years service and is in readiness to
pilot his mounts first under the wire
with all his wonted regularity.
Seder was suspended during the last
season of racing at st. Louis, Starter
Dade disliking his behavior at the post
on one occasion. He headed the list
of winning Jockeys at the Mound city
tracks during the 1904 and 1905 seasons |
prior to his suspension.
Among the good ones Seder has
ridden in his career is Hamburg Belle. |
He rode this grand runner in all her
