Borrow Wins Big English Race
and Leaves Question of
Championship in Air

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Nearly all of
the English classic colts and fillies
have gone into winter quarters and
the question as to which Is the top
notcher remains undecided, and there
is as much discussion as last year when
Lemberg and Neil Cow divided opin-
ion For more than a month there has
been O close run 4or supremacy De-
tween Seaforth, bay colt by Symlhs-
ton, dam by Timothy, and owned by
Deruot McCalmonc, and Pietri, bay
colt by st. Frusquin out of Pie Powder,
and owned by Leopold de Kothschlld.
Each had his admirers all along, Nbut
the TURTLES who are never actuateo
by sentiment or an animaFs looks
waited for the Middle Park Plate at
the second October meeting to see
which was entitled to the nursery
crown.
In this the shrewd brigade was dis
appointed, for the pair ran dead heat
for second place, the winner being
Borrow, a gelding owned by Harry
Payne Whitney. The American young
ster won by a neck, but pull OF SIX
pounds in the weights on the other
two probably gave him the victory.
On account of being unsexed Borrow
holds no classic engagements next
wear ana Is OUT Oh lIlo ACNhOhAA6S NNS
he has good engagements In the Whit-
suntide plate at Hurst park and the
st. George stakes at Liverpool
Prior to the Middle park plate Sea-
forth had an unbeaten record, with
such a high class list of victories to
his credit as the Woodcote stakes at
EPSON, the New stakes at Ascot ana
the Michaelmas plate at Manchester
In the first of these three occasions ne
l,n his nnnOnentS. ana
the American gelding finished In the
ruck many lengths to the rear OF the
winner. Seaforth Is in the 1000 gulneaS
and st. Leger, but not in the DERBY.
Pietri began his turf career couple
of weeks later than Seaforth, missed
the rich Imperial Produce stakes, ana
after running green in the Coventry
stakes captured the Princess plate at
Newmarket, the Richmond stakes at
Goodwood, the envied trophy, the Gim-
crack stakes at York and the time
honored Champagne stakes at Don
caster. He Is In all the big classics of
next year, but this son of st. Frus-
ouin has a slight mark against him,
for already he has shown an incllna-
ton to exhibit some tantrums before
the barrier.
In the classics and other races the
fine string of 381 2-year-olds figure on
the lists. The ones that show them
selves to be rated between 119 and 13S
pounds are the ones calculated to have
a chance on the classics and they are
TWENTY-FIVE in number this time. The
second class are those between 118 and
112 and there are twenty-nine, some OF
which may improve to have a chance
in the big races. Between 100 and Ill
pounds there are 129 and these are sup
posed to be the handicap brigade with
but a slim chance in the classics. Be-
low 100 pounds are the selling platter
element and they lumber 1893. Follow
ing are the names and rating or the
first twenty-five as given by the handi-
capper at Newmarket:
