THREE BEST COLTS
MEET SOON TN
STAKE
Gilbert Rose, Flying Squirrel
and Carroll Are Rival
Juveniles

The prospective meeting of the un-
beaten year oldS Gilbert Rose, Flying
Squirrel and Carroll, in the Juvenile
stake soon to be decided at Emery
vile, is looked forward to by local race
goers with no small degree of interest.
1t, IS generally conceded that Gilbert
Rose is the kingpin year old at En-
eryYille, and ArcadianS consider Fixing
Squirrel and Carroll the cleverest
youngsters shown at the southern
track. X. l.. Thomas, their owner. coin
cIdes in the general opinion that both
are of high class. and looks for them
to develop into exceedingly useful per-
formers. o. a. Bianchi, owner and
breeder of Gilbert Rose. considers him
ct least the equal OF the sensational Lee
Rose, his half brother, whose right to
the coast championship of the 2 year
old division last season was so clearly
established as TO leave no room for dis
pute.
Gilbert Rose is the last of the Ravel-
Stons, so far as BianchiS breeding Op-
erations are concerned Bianchi has
discarded Ravelston in favor of Bear
catcher, whose first foals will come to
the races next January. This year S
local champion. while built on less pre-
possessing lines than his distinguished
half brother, has done everything asked
of him up to date with an ease that
that has aroused the admiration of the
experts BY no means as stOutly set up
as last years champion. and with
crooked hind legs and conspicuous hook
passes that of his half brother He has
started in five races and has won all of
them without being really extended.
All of his victories have been over
muddy and sloppy tracks. but there is
no reason TO doubt mis- ability to run
equally we'll on the dry.
Flying Squirrel has won four races
al Arcadia and Carroll has two victories
to his credit. Both colts won all their
starts in a canter. SO there's no telling
Just how good they may be- Flying
Squirrel is an especially good looking
colt and is q fast breaker. with a Won
derful turn of speed and seemingly SUI
fcient stamina to carry him over con-
siderable distance of ground. Carroll
set new track record at Arcadia in his
maiden effort.

have shown themselves to be entitled
to consideration a s youngsters of some
class. and undoubtedly most of them
viii turn out to be above the average.
A stable that has grown into pronIi-
nence on the American turf in the
course of the last few years is that
owned and raced by William CRed")
walker. BY far the best horse in the
stable is the good 4 year old. Stanley
Fay, colt not far from the first flight
of last years year olds. but now un-
luckily incapacitated temporarily. His
last start was on Christmas DAY at
Santa Anita in the Santa Anita handi-
cap at mile and a quarter. which.
with Ill pounds mp, he won by head
from Gar 104, in such fast time as
2:03 So with Gowan. NOx POpuh
Husky and Magazine behind the pair
Another very fast one in the stable is
the hofder of the mile record, Centre
Shot. Unfortunately. she is a bIeeder
and this in measure detracts from her
usefulness in racing. Pal Edwin Gum
Gemmell, Earl Rogers. Harry Scott
Uncle Henry. Old Settler and Preen are
other horses in the stable that have
served Owner Walker to good purpose
