Leading Horse Shows
to Be Held in 1921


at 2:so. Trinket's mile in 2:1s%-the
first below 2:20--in a race for four
year-olds at Louisville in 1879 caused a
sensation. the performance being nearly
five seconds faster than that of any
other trotter OF her age.
The great impetus given to colt trot-
ting by this and other brilliant per-
formances Of that period resulted in the
reduction of the four-year-old record
from 2:20 to 2:10 in less time than t
took to lop off the ten seconds between
2:So and 2:20. Moquette, one Of the
most beautiful young horses the breed
has produced. was the first to reach
the 2: 10 mark. With the aid OF the new
pneumatic sulky he wrested the record
from the great California filly Sunol in
an exhibition against time over the
perfect mile track at Richmond, Ind,
in 1892.
Then came the year of the great
Directum, whose superior, all things
considered. has hardly been seen to this
day. Between August 80, when he won
the fifth heat Of the free for all race a.
fleetwood Park in :09M, and October
Is thtlsswonSerful colt carried the four
yeHf-S -reeord from 2:10 down to
2:o5H, his mark being the fastest then
on record for stations OF any age, No
wonder II stood unbeaten by any four
year-old for seventeen years. Joan, n
granddaughter of Directum. beat it at
last. winning the Walnut Hall cup Mt
Lexington in 1910, when she trotted a
heat in 2:04A. This was the first
time 2:05 had been teaten by four
year-old. Etawah advanced the record
to :031b in three brilliant performances
In 1914. and the next year Murphy drove
Peter volo In 2:02 in his losing race
with Lee Axworthy at Cleveland
