The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-10-09


The week at Lexington has been one
or record-breaking feats; also OF COM
plete upsets-
IN a field or the best two-year-olds OF
the year. the two-year-old Justice Brooke
trotted first heat in Oh l-2, and re-
peated his mile in 2;O9 Ia lowering the
record made for two heats in a race by
Native Belle in 1903 by a quarter OF a
second. IN the second heat he raced 20
the half in 1:0S 81. feat so remarkable
for two-year-old that one is compelled
10 gasp with establishment
The upset OF the week, the one that
stands out more prominent than all 9TH
ers, occurred on Tuesday. when Grace E..
daughter OF Peter the Great. raced the
champion three-year-old or the year.
Colorado T.. 2;05 Ia, into submission and
compelled him 70 take second money.
The great young stallion. the very great
est for age that has yet appeared on
the light-harness turf. has evidently
stalled OF after the severe racing to
" AA+N4A A4N iice utElt cuDlNNktu from the
beginning OF the Grand Circuit until its
close at Columbus. He has done enough,
and has done it so we'll that he deserves
a long rest.
The other upsets OF the week were the
poor showing made by Native Belle IT,
2:7 "a, and the good Todd FLY. Emily
Ellen, who won the second heat IN 200 IA
and received third money Native Belle
shows the poor form she is In by stand
ing at the foot of the summary. She,
too. has evidently had enough for this
year and should be turned out The man
who are fortunate enough TO own phe-
nOmenal youngsters do not seem TO learn
their lesson. notwithstanding the fact
that that they have only 10 look about
them 10 discern that blood and bone and
tendon have their limitations even among
mature horses
The pitcher that goes TO the well often
is liable 10 come back broken. 1t is dim
cult, however, when one owns an extra
fast colt, to resist the temptation to take
more out OF him than he can stand. The
rich prizes hung up for youngsters in
the way Of futurities are great Incentives
10 overdo the thing.
To those who care 10 90 deep into the
breeding problem, the blood lines of some
OF the best youngsters on the turf are of
absorbing interest. These blood lines are
guide posts 10 those who breed and. in
a small measure, 10 those who buy.
