would have given my life TO have the
mare beat Major Delmar that day. In
trial trots, just before the race. she made
great time. Everything was done to in
sure fair play. No one except the mares
attendants could have tampered with her.
As she Is nervous strung animal my
theory OF her failure that day Is that she
became overexcited and developed
thumps. To say that she continued In that
condition Is absurd, as three days later
she actually broke her record at pri-
vate trial. | don't know the symptoms of
doping, but 80 far as outward appear
ances go. the mare was never in better
form than that day, and / would have
staked my life on her winning"
