CRACK 3 YEAR OLD
BREAKS DOWN In
TRAINING
Fred Cook Learns of Mishap to
Colt Lawrence p. Daley Upon
Arrival From the East

Fred Cook, the well known book
maker, breeder and owner, whose
horses have been quartered at Emery
vile for several weeks. put in an ap-
pearance at the track yesterday, hav-
ing arrived from his breeding farm
in Illinois. where he has more than a
hundred thoroughbreds. Cook an
nounced that he would cut in with a
book at Emeryviile in about ten days
with the idea of booking during the
balance of the season. 1t is six years
since he last visited the coast and he
expressed himself as greatly impressed
with the proportions to which the sport
had grown locally since he was last
here.
Cook was greeted by his trainer.

news that his crack three year old
Laurence P. Daley had broken down
while in training for his California en-
gagements The horse bowed a tendon
in each of his forelegs while working
three furlongs in 40 seconds on the
main track at Emeryville several days
ago 1t will be necessary to throw
him out of training and resort to the
firing process to remedy the trouble.
This probably means that the horse
will not race until next summer. Cook
said yesterday that he would have the
horse gelded while he is out of train
ing. He had counted on winning one
or more of the valuable stakes of the
California season with the colt and
the mishap to the horse came as q
great disappointment.
