Fights between the males of the

which teeth and hoofs are employed
rclenilessly.
Bui formidable as the thoroughbred
stallion is when his fighting powers
are aroused, he has one adversary
which is his superior in such encopn-
ters. There are numerous instances
of "a iackaSs defeating stallion in
fairly fought battle. In the early
stages OF such Il contest the horse
through his superior agility is the
master, but unless he succeeds In Grip

in his day. having been clever jockey
before graduating as trainer and

remarked that his horse could defend

The horse was the aggressor and for
the first five minutes he had the adj
