| appointment Vanderbilt has two first rat,
] colts this year. II is thought, in the one men
/ toned and another named Schuyler and II
| was thought that he had rosy chance Of
capturing both the EPSON Derby and the
Grand Prix this season. Sea Sick II. was
booked for England, and at this stage when
very little is known about the classic candi-

entry is quoted at to In the betting. As 4
twO-year-oId Sea Sick II. was about equal
to Monitor, and the French critics have 1t

this is true the colt Is not as formidable on

crossed the channel In recent years.
