LIVERY racing reason in this part of
III the country has sent a high class
of 2-year-olds to the eastern races
that has attracted great attention by
always making good and performing in
a sensational manner. Horace e went
a couple of years ago and Trance was
the contribution from Santa Anita last
season. This year it seems that Phil
Chinn will ship the classiest juvenile
OF the winter season to the eastern
races next spring, and its name will be
A. j. Small. This colt easily takes rank
over all other 2-year-olds shown on the
coast this season and in every recent
start has performed in a manner that
is little, If any, short of the sensational.
Since he rounded to form and became
accustomed to facing the barrier and
running for money, he has delivered the
goods in a handsome manner. One
world record, that Of 40 seconds for
three and a half furlongs, and his
classy performance yesterday, when he
carried 118 pounds and won the Wood
land stakes at half mile in 46 3-5 sec
onds, put the stamp Of approved class
upon him. He carried his high weight
like veteran and showed increasing
speed at every jump. Had he been at
all urged ne could have lowered the
world record that was set ten years ago
at Dallas by Bessie Mackin, carving
100 pounds, at 4675 seconds. He came
within one-tenth of a second of doing
1t anyway, and as he carried eighteen
pounds more weight than Bessie toted
his performance was a record breaker
He worked half a mile in As 2-5 seconds
last Thursday, which also is a world
record, reducing the former mark set
by DeMund when that once great horse

sold for $4,000. Small made his mark
around two turns with a welterWeight
