The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1916-11-02
Paid S. 500 for q Colt,

Those who had the mistaken idea
that the day of the horse is passing
must have received rather severe
Jolt when Walter Cox paid no less
than $500 for an undeveloped year
ling Of stundard-bred trotting blood.
While higher prices have been OBJ
tained for yearlings In other days,
there has always been a record at
tached to the natural breeding attrac-
tions Of the youngster in question. In
this case, however, st. Frusquin, son
of the noted San Francisco Melisande,
has never been driven against time,
and thus the price establishes a new
record on the sales market. It seems
rather pity that the name st. Frus-
Quin should have been chosen for such
, promising colt. It will inevitably be
confused, possibly at disadvantage,
with the great running horse st. Frus-
Quin-owned by Leopold de Rothschild
which was the winner Of the classic
1900 guineas and was beaten only by
the sensational Persimmon, then
owned by the prince of Wales, in the
derby of 1S96.-The Spur.
