Danish Cir, to Campaign Again.

Fred Baliantine, the local horseman.
has again turned the little bay pacing
mare Danish Girl, 2:13A, over to Billy
Rhodes, who will train and race the
small daughter Of Colonel Hodges e
the half-mile tracks and at Columbus
during the coming season. This mare
has at all times been of particular in
terst to local enthusiasts, as she re-
ceived her first lessons as a race mare
wei the local track in the hands of
Clyde MacBride. and from the very
start she exhibited a lot of class. bar
ring the fact that she wore the hopples
and needs them. The following season
she was trained at Weequahic Park
track by RUDE Rush, who worked her
a mile better than asa before he
shipped her to the races. About the
middle OF that season, 1909, Fred Bal
lantine sold her to "Dolph" Asmus. the
West Hoboken horseman, for $4,000.
The latter then started her at the CO.
lumbus meeting, where she was twice
second to the sensational Ross K. in
BOTH and 2;o6a. which made her look
like a very high-class mare and one
OF the best prospects In sight for the
campaign Of 1910.
In her early training. however. dur
ing the past season she met with an
accident, and although she had COM
pletely recovered Early In July, Mr..
Asmus thought SO much of her and her
future as a speed marvel that he turned
her out for the balance of the season
to insure her complete ecovery beyond
the shadow of a doubt. During the
recent midwinter sale she was again
transferred to the ownership Of Fred
Ballantine, and II Is understood that
he gave Mr.. Asmus a handsome profit
on the mare. She was placed In
Rhodes's stable Yesterday. and is at
his time in elegant shape. II Is Fred
Ballantine's purpose to race her this
season and give her a record as fast
as she can go at Columbus and then
have her raise a colt for him. That
she will this year train ound would
appear assured. and a record Of 2:o5
over the Columbus track is the opinion
of those who know her best n saw
most of her engagements during the
season Of 1909.
