Racing

1t is always hard to predict what
thoroughbreds will do from year to
year but this season it is more difficult
than usual to select the probable cham
mons of 1923. Except in the handicap
division. where Exterminator ruled SUI
preme, there was no title holder this
year. and In every division there were
several horses which showed a spark
OF championship form.
Exterminator will be years old
when he next faces the barrier and at
that age he is likely to lack some of
his great speed or endurance. or pos
sibly both. But his courage Will never
die and he might do the unusual and re-
tain his crown. IL is not likely his
worthiest opponents of 1872, Grey Lax
and Mad Halter. will improve. but a
half dozen three-year -olds Will race
in his division and thcv may become
his superior.
Lucky Hour beat handicap horses last
fall and ran like n champion. II he
improves as Jim McClelland and Roy
waldron expect he will neither Ex-
terminator nor any other aspirant for
championship honors will beat him. He
Is a speed marvel and has as much en-
uurance and courage any horse.
Bunting is whirlwind and can travel
a distance, but he went lame in Ken
lucky last fall and 1t is question X
he will stand hard training. Whfsk-
away, Rockmlnster and Pillory are other
three year-olds which as older horses
may lead the handicap division.
While Sally's Alley was the best
juvenile, there were several colts which
are sure to give good account OF
themselves as three-year-olds II they
remain sound. August Belmont's Mes
senger Bowed slightly last year and may
not stand a hard campaign, but IL he
does he will come pretty close to win
ming the title. Wilderness, Dunlin. Mar
tingale. Cyclops. How Fair. Pettifoger.
Little Celt. Rialto and one or two other
II. Z. Whitney colts may improve during
the winter and come out as star three
year-olds. No one knows anything about
the Juveniles. AS yearlings many
showed they were winners. but none
were tried highly enough to know
whether or not they are good horses. On
looks and breeding those belonging to
August Belmont and Harry F. Sinclair
are best.
