Bay track was a scene OF life and anma-
ton yesterday. Many squads OF high
grade race horses cantered and galloped
over IL. No fast work was done because
the ground was too heavy.
Sysonby was out and went through light
exercise work. The champion OF 1905 never
looked better than he did yesterday. Dur
ing the winter he has become at least $50
pounds heavier He is now more massive
than he was, but his flesh is evenly die
tributed and he Is IAN evenly balanced
horse"
In his movements, Sysonby showed all
OF his perfect freedom of action which
carried him TO the front 80 easily last
year. His stride is the same old easy one
that fairly devoured space. He has not
had a cough or a sick day all winter and
promises 10 show greater speed than last
season.
