since he first went to the post last
year. He is a speedy racer on a last
track, but is exceptionally good In the
mud. In his 2-year-old form he start
ed fifteen times and won eleven starts,
being second twice and third as many
times, never being out of the money.
His total earnings that year were
S6S55. He has done more as a 3-year-
old, however, and his 1908 season VIII
show him to be one of the best class
of horses Among the big stake events
he has won as a. 3-year-old are the
following; City Park derby of $l0'O0U
value; Empire City handicap, worth
S11, 800 to the winneri Midsummer
stakes at Yonkers, worth $3.50 to the
winner; Decoration handicap at La
tonia, worth $1525; Latonia derby,
worth $9765 to the winner, and several
overnight handicaps. He is grand
racer and should justify the invest
ment of $4,000 that Alvey paid for him.
Friend Harry is a 2-year-old,. by
Orlando-Alice Brand, and is such a
great colt and has given such good
promise in his brief racing career that
Alvey did not hesitate in giving $4,000
for him. In fact, he was taken In
preference to Jeff Bernstein, the z
year-old bear of the middle west dur
ing the summer and fall meetings.
He has been beaten only once, that
upon MS DTSI illllc at llAO De't
when he ran second to Sniff. This
was September 80 Since that time
he has started three times and won
brackets every time. He is the Alvey
dependence for the Los Angeles and
California derbys and is training nice
ly under the watchful eye of Baker.
Prince Ahmed is new one to coast
racegoers, but is a good one, at that.
He is a 4-year-old chestnut colt by
King Hanover-Pefcita. He has not
raced much this season, his last start
having been made in August and he
did not go to the post half a dozen
times during the summer HIS best
race this year was six furlongs IN
ZIP 2-5 at Latonia, which indicates
the degree of speed with which he is
blessed.
Redgauntlet is another recent pur-
chase by Alvey, who paid e. ?. Hayes
