GREAT RACER SAT|SEAX
PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN

Tho little black mare owned by
Lieutenant Hoyle and going by the
name Of Satisfax is surely lady of
surprises. In the first days races she
was not even considered and when
she challenged at the wire and took
the four furIongs by a neck the dop
sters wore completely foored. This
former hack horse turned the same
trick on Labor Day by coming up from
the rear in the free for-all and nosinR
out umpqua under the wire, establish.
ing another track record. 4.
Little is known Of this mare. She h
seven year.old and came from the
Belmont stock farm. When shipped to
Honolulu last April this upsetter of
dope was lame and apparently out of
racing forever.
Much Of tho credit for the wonderful
showing of this mare goes to Supply.
Sergeant James Alexander who has
been training the lady for the past
eight weeks.
