has been considerable interest
shown among local horsemen in
the work of baby trotters. While there
are several colts of much ability from
one to three years of age hereabouts,
1t Is, indeed, doubtful whether there
Is as good a 3-year-old pacing colt
within a days journey as Gregory
Lake, 01281, in the stable of Mount
Morris at Olympic Park tract The
colt is the property OF w. c. Murphy,
of Jersey City. Gregory Lake Is a
beautiful bay stud colt, with plenty OF
bone and substance, perfect way oil
going. with brush enough to show a
2:15 gait in places. He is beautifully
quartered colt, with a shortstrong back
AS a mater of fact. show horse finish
and quality all over, and almost human
intelligence. Mr.. Murphy, his owner, IL
averse to giving 3-year-olds any fast
| miles, so the colt will not be worked
for any amount of speed this season,
but 1t d Is the general belief of good
judges of form that this fellow could
easily beat 2:20 this year were his
trainer allowed to go on and drill him.
1t is his owners present intention to
go slow with him until his 4-year-old
form, and not race him extensively un-
til he is fine.
Gregory Lake was bred at Glen
Moore farm, where Mr.. Murphy pur-
chased him when Mr.. Wells decided to
discontinue breeding operations at that
plant. and 1t was his breeders inten-
ton to reserve this colt to take the
place of his sire in the stud, believing
him to be the best individual horse he
had ever bred He is an own brother
to the fast bay gelding, Cashier, 2:12A,
now in the stable of Tom Mcguire,
horse capable of a mile in 2:10 over a
half-mie track this year. Gregory
Lake was foaled in 1907, and sired by
Red Lake, 2:15A (sire of fourteen, in
Guiding Lake Queen, 2:08A; Kate Mel
son, 2:10A: Cashier 2:12N, etc), by
Red King, a son of Red Wilkes, dam
Dawson Lake (2), 2:20 dam of Cashier,
2:l2k, and Dawson Dillon. 2:l8A), by
Nutbreaker, 2:24A, producing son OF
i, Nutwoodtwo. 1t will be seen that this
colt is bred to be a fast horse, and he
will do to keep your eye on when ne
gets to the races. The fastest mile 10
date over the Olympic Park track Is
that of the bay trotting gelding Colon
owned by Henry Keenan,. of Elizabeth
Tom Mcclure worked this horse Tues
day and drove him mile In 2;21 handi-
lv. and he could undoubtedly have
stepped in 2:2O

has all his extreme speed, and Will be

later in the month. and 1t looks like one
best bet that he can trim Sid Axworthy
or any of the fast PAGERS on the ia
