The three-year-old trotting classes
lshould be OF especial interest this summer.
II both 1907 and 1908 the rich futurlty
events resulted IN struggles worth going
miles 10 see. and in which sensational
time was made.
In 1907 General Watts C2:Oss4) proved
the star performer. and succeeded in low
ering the worlds record for colts Of his
age Others Of better than 2:1O caliber
out that year were Bisa CD. 2:g7il;
Kentucky Todd 90. 2.OSsl; Baron Nc
Kinney and Blue Hill C2). 2:15l4. not to
mention Douglas C3), 2:l21z; Belle Bird
80. 2;ll1z. and others
In 1908 the unbeaten colt, The Harvester
C5). 2:0S9. proved so much the superior
OF his opponents that the others were not
generally given credit for possessing the
class that they die. Such youngsters as
Justo 90, 9lR; Sub Rosa. 2:OSK; The
Leading Lady CD. 2:O7: Electric Touch,
&c. were trOtters worthy OF their rich
breeding.
For 1863 the prospects are exceedingly
bright. Probably the one that is the most
favored at the present time Is Czarevna
o. 2.12h although Fanny Lawson. High
AIcKerrop (2:1S2t) have their warm admir-
ers. Czarevna, because of the fact that
she won all three Of her futurity engage
ments last fall and lowered the worlds
record for hlies OF her age in her last
race, has the best racing record Of the
others.
The 1lly was lame nearly all the year.
but this did not prevent her from train
ing on and defeating the others at every
meeting. She is a daughter Of Peter the
Great D. 2:07h. and Orianna. 2:ls1z. BY
Onward, 2:25ia Both her sire and dam
were noted colt tTotters. She is the prop
erty OF D. Comyn Moran. the New York
er who has owned so many good colt trot-
ters Of late years, among them being Fan
tana, Qusetta. and The Laird, and she
Is trained by Tom Nolan.
Fanny Lawson "A Good One.
Fanny Lawson Is the FLY owned by
George Il. Estabrook. OF Denver. and
driven by Gus Mccoy. She was second TO
Czarevna by both the Horse Review and
Kentucky futurities. and also second to
Robert c. IN another stake at Lexington.
She is a very fast FLY. and It is conf
IDENTIFY believed that she viii prove much
better this year She is by Tregantle
2:O99s), out Of Fanny Summers easy, by
Bow Bells C2.19$O.
High Admiral IS the son Of Admiral
Dewey C2:O4sO and Avena C2:2O, by Palo
Alto C2.Oss0. owned by August Uihlein.
OF Milwaukee. and driven by Charlie
Dean No colt ever accomplished more
under the circumstances than did this
racy looking chap last year. He was so
sick in the spring that his life was de-
SPARED Of. and then about q month before
his first engagement at Columbus he was
again taken I'll and had TO be thrown out
Of training completely for a couple OF
weeks. Despite this he was able TO show
that he was close TO 2:12 colt. and with
q years growth and good luck he may
dupDcate The Harvester's performances
for his owner.
Another Surprise.
Robert c. C213zO, now known as the
Wolverine. is the youngster that created
such a furore during the last week OF the
Lexington meeting BY lowering the
worlds two-heat record for colts OF his
age. He had been going some all sum-
mer for Bob Davis and some time before
the Kentucky meeting was turned over
20 Eddie Willis, the cOlored trainer, at
the Patchen Wilkes farm. as being one
Of whom little was expected. Willis went
20 work on him, and taking of a lot Of
the weight he carried. got him ready for
the phenomenal race in the fall During
the winter he was sold 10 George Moore,
the wealthy Michigan man who owns the
Dromore farm at Port Huron. in that
State. and Is now IN Ed Benyons stable.
