FAST YOUNGSTERS
Of THE SEASON

Lord Aflen NZ.Il1, Diiou AA""n'S
{ska vl-4s, we're the faster two sestr-v
ODDS Of the year. They earned records
but failed to reach 2.l0--the target OF
time aimed at by owners Of all young
STEERS OF that age. Peter the Cay and
Mcgowan failed to make tie re-crds of
Lord Allen oy Dillon Axwor,hy. but
In trials against the watch sacn
managed to s.ep ma.es in z.i0 "a.
The campaign demonstrated beyond
question tina, in point u racing asi-
NY, Which Is the only fair test OF .ha
merits OF colt trot.ers. Dillon AK
worthy and Lord Alien were Tar su-
perior to MagoN an and Peter The Gay,
although their RECORDS are q tr.l.e
slower.
As u matter Of fact. Dillon Axwor-
thy wa1 much the best race herss OF
the four. Lord allen VAS clearly
second, while Peter the Gay and Mago-
wan were nothing extra when u came
10 -ng out and getting the money.
In races. against other horses they did
not compare with the other two. al
though, v hen gwen dying start. and
at the pole, they were able to beat
All.
In every particular Lord Allen out
ciassed them. as after winning the
Junior division OF this Kentucky Fu-
turitv tn which Dillon Axworthy did
not start. he was pulled out one aft
,ernoon for Q tilt against the watcIi
ana trctted In 1.i0 la. The mile
was not q record, as he was started
| to beat 2Io LA. instead Of his own
/ record, I'll.
i Dillon Axworthy, Judged By the
faces In which the two met. had the
/ etter of Lord Alien both in speed
/, and In ability to carry II over Z dis
| lance Of ground. He lacked the per-
! feet manners OF the Tregantiie colt.
i but In. spite Of the handicap OF get
| ting away behind his neld occasion
atty he waa able to win.
