HEN the racing eason OF 1911
w onAna with the tan Of the gong

there is q very formidable c0mDlnatlOn
of trotters In the stable of Pete Goode,
the Ridgewood trainer, that will have
to be recokened with.
During the winter months the genial
Peter has gathered together a bunch
of trotters who at this time appear
to be a particularly worthy lot All of
his horses have wintered we'll, and their
trainer confidently expects most of
them tina will be called upon to race
to be ready when the curtain rises.
Peter has wintered upward of If
teen head. When l saw him Monday
he assured me that at least six of tn.
number would get to the races this
season.
The fast bay geiding The Preacher.
who during the past season O a rec
ord of 2:12A over a half-mile track, Is,
of course, the flower of the flock, end
l know of no horse who at this time
appears In a better physical condf-
ton.
With his present record his oppor-
tunities viii be few over the half-mile
tracks, and he will be raced on the big
line after the grand circuit flyers hit
Buffalo, and judging from the class
he exhibited last season over the two
lap courses II would appear reasonable
to believe that he would this year uhke
a record of 2:06 over a mile track.
This horse has been in Pete Goodies
stable since the spring he was a 2-year-
old, and never in his life could he
exhibit the brush at this season of the
year that he can show today.
During the past season he vas start
ed In eight races, five of which he won.
and was never unpiaced. Late In the
fall he was shipped to Great Barring
ton. Mass, and started for the rack
record of 2:15 at that place. made six
teen years ago by the black mare Bush,
2:09, at this time owned by George
Stengel, of this city. The betting was
Q to / against the horses lowering the
record, yet he stepped a beautiful mile
in 2:13 and made the running pony that
was used as q prompter quit at the
three-quarter pole
Another horse Of which Peter expects
great things over the haif-mile tracks
Is the crown trotting gelding Bistan,
that gained a record of 2:26A last year.
This fellow is a son of the sensat onal
Bingara, out Of a mare by Kremlin,
and last year worked a mile in 2:16H.
last half In 1:06, which makes him look
Ill quite a high-class horse. He will
be named In all the stake events for
his class over the half-mile tracks, and,
while his trainer admits that he Is not
possessed of the class exhibited by The
Preacher. 2:12A, he confidently looks
the coming season.
The handsome bay mare Desert Maid
by Moko. out of Soudan, by Onward,
will be the candidate Of the Goode
stable for the classes for green trotters.
She has run a mile in 2:20, and. while
she has never yet scored for the word,
she was drilled in company consider
able last year, and her trainer believes
h has better than an average chance
to make good.
Another green trotter that only re-

Robert McGregor. This fellow is a nice
individual. and, while he is a trife
rangy, he has a good way Of going.
with plenty of lick. He was last sea-
son in the stable Of Tom Nolan, and Is
reported to have stepped a mile In
2:19h.
If he gets that good this year the
railbirds will surely like him, and If he
is a racehorse he can win some money.
The bay mare The Free Lady, by The
Bondsman, sire of Colorado e. 90,
2:06$, out of a mare by Wilkes Boy,
will be Peters candidate for the slow
trot on Decoration Day. This mare
comes to her speed early. and her
trainer expects her to be up to 1t more
early in the season than any of her
stable companions. She Is a handsome
thing. a typical Bondsman, and her
way of going. II she couldn't beat 2:4O,
would make most any horseman adj
mire her.
For the 3-year-old trots Minnie Mus
kovite will carry the reputation of the
stable upon her shoulders, inc at this
time would appear to be a very worthy
representative. She was worked but
little as a 2-year-old, yet her trainer
believes she will do, and that t most
of us is the Indian sign," as Peter
never goes far from home, unless thor
oughly equipped to do business. He is
also schooling a beautiful 2-yea r-old

This little miss will be entered in the

made ready for that event alone.
