The Greeley tribune., 1906-04-12
Camps Hoss Dope.

The pleasant April days allowed
the Island Grove track to be shaped
for speed work. 1t is beyond dis
pute the best training track IN Colo
RADIO, on account of soil which
never hardens to the extent Of pre-
ducing injury by concussion to quick
beating hoofs.
Two stables are located there, viz
Brewington's harness string and
Tom Freel's runners The former
is composed of Tom Halpin, pacing
record about, think, 2:2lH. A
sorrel four-year-old, a two-year'old
and the sweetest yearling in the
world. All the above three are
PAGERS, by Due Hal, 2:19. The two
year-old is one Of the nominees in
the Greeley stake, due to occur in
the coming fall. Uncle" NJ. e..
Morgan has in this stable to care for
a young wonder Of his, although he
pushes on the ribbons himself. This
youngster. Morgan says, is worth
5, 600 bones and it sorter looks that
way to the boys, as the sixth time
hitched she pulled uncle's 200 pounds
and cart in "a seconds and Is only
ten months old. She is another Due
Hal PAGER and bears the pretty name
of Blossom Morgan. Her dam is a
daughter of Oconee, second dam An
geline, dam, of Lulu NJ, 2:14H, and
Hallina Morgan, three year record
2l4N. So the price-or rather
worth of Blossom may be none to
elevated.
Speaking of Hallina.. the Western
Horseman says below the picture of
Airlie Frost: "Airlie Frost, driver
of Hallina Morgan (3) 2:l4A, cham
pion race winning pacing filly of
1905, with u first moneys out of IA
starts.'' 1t will be remembered that
this lilly was raised, trained and
raced as a two-year-o'd, and also the
first three races in her three year
form by NJ. H. Morgan Of Greeley.
She was sired by Due Hal 2:19, Of
the Red Bird stock farm, Greeley,
Colo, dam Angeline and etc. MIR.
Morgan exhanged her for $500 in
good old greenbacks and a mighty
good looking trotting gelding called
&c Ipn
Barnett of Albuquerque, New Mex
leo. His stable spent the last win
ter in California and will go to
Phoenix, Arizona, April Is and there
race Hallina, Stranger o 2:0s Il and
others in the opening meet of the
western circuit.
This horse, St. Elmo, of Morgan's S
is at present puzzle to the talent.
He is little chap-just one size
larger than his driver, with gait as
rythmic as the songs of Hiawatha,
and the speed of barn swallow, for
he can eighth about two nothing
clip, and worked mile in 2:22 last
Thursday, which was mighty awfully
fast for this time of the winter. He
is entered in the 1924 $4,000 and
2:20 $1,000 trots of the Overland Park
spring meet. II lie fails to get
around at least once in p :lOsomebody
will have to eat lots of prophecies
recorded last winter on the Hot
Air Club records.
Billy Patterson will work his
three-year-old PAGER this season. He
is a standard bred son of Due Hal
and ought to return the expense next
fall in time to help meet the politi-
cal campaign outlay.
| Mr.. Seaman drives two-year-oId
brother of Hallina Morgan, nomi-
nee of the Greeley stake that could
pace hole in the atmosphere last
fall. Eighths under Is seconds to a
high wheeled cart, didn't get his
blood to circulating. Mr.. Seaman s
favorite time to exercise him is in
the early evening when the landscape
sombres in, the enshrouding gloam.
The reason for choosing this peculiar
time Is on account of a certain sensa-
tiveness of the driver.
He has another mount that looks
