owner, Captain David y. Shaw. az
Cleveland. who is the oldest man racinf
horses on the Grand Circuit, and a gooa
amateur driver himself After Prince
Loree upset an calculations by win
ming the Translyyanin in 2:O3h ir
1919. they put him 20 pacing and b.
took a record Of 200 fat 10 that style
OF going.
Last summer found Prince Lorco
back az the trot. So good was he at
this gait. that at Toledo when the
Judges decided an cyelash finish
against him the crowd was all for toss
ing the judges stand and It's oc-
cupants In the Maumce River. The
week following az Kalamazoo there
was a tragedy among those who os-
tablished the Great NolO as favoritc.
Prince Loree took his field into camp
rather handily. although he stepped IN
2:03k. his great burst being in the
final quarter each trip. For that time
on the little gelding was not good
nough 20 beat the horses he had
beaten.
Under the time allowance rule Prince
Lorec would have 20 start in the 2:O4
trots in 1923, whereas he is eligible %
the 2:07 pacing events. and as 1t is
easy 70 rig him for one as for the
ether, Captain Shaw thinks it will be
better 20 hunt for pacing stakes. Such
good racehorSe IS he that the
Grand Circuit crowds would miss him,
and they do not care whether he trots
I or PAGES.
Captain 5. Looks Promising
But the Shaw stable is not 20 be a
one-horse affair in 1923. Many Of the
colts which the veteran has bred at
/ Beau local Farm have matured and
are ready for the fray. One Of them.
I Captain s., gave an inkling of his speed
/ in the second heat Of the Transyl-
vanis. Had he been able 20 maintain
the clip Peter the Brewer would have
had TO 20 right at two minutes to beat
him. Tho Captain has half dozen
Of this sort, which might be expected
as he is breeding from three Of the
greatest race mares the turf ever has
known Lillian r., Joan and Grace.
/ Apparently there Is no beating Peter
the Great az a sire. IN September IL
looked rs though a younger stallion
might dethrone him, but when the
tale for 1922 has been told r. dis

Breeders regard IL as a splendid sign
that other families are getting close 20
tho top, which Peter must surrender
before long on account Of his age. The
Mckinneys, represented by Belwin, and
tho Axworthys, by Guy AXworthy. are
knocking a. the door. These three fam p
lilies, crossed either way, are the real
thing among scientific breeders.
Fsyette National 10 Race
II Is understood that Fayotte Ma
tionsl, 2;07lz. is to be raced on the big
line, and whether IL will be another
Herbelwyn case IL the question with
sportsmen. Fayettc National started
his campaign early in the Canadian
Northwest, where he beat trOtters and
PAGERS, and then he won four stakes in
Wisconsin. Stretched out against the
watch he trotted in 2:O6ia. at Charles
ton, H.: then in 2:0CL at Bellefon-
.taine Ohio, the fastest trotting mile
Of the year on q half-mile track.
Fayette National now Is regarded as
one Of the best Of the get Of San Fran
cisco, his dam being a great broodmare
By WiFman. His improvement since go
ing 10 the small tracks has been as
notable as that Of Herbclwyn, that
/ trOtted two-lap oval in 2:05&4 IN 1921,
and looked like one OF the best stake
prospects last year. Herbelwyn won
not a smell in the long trip, and Fay
ette National may strike the same snag.
/ From out Of the West comes "A stake
/ prospect that Is not 70 be sneezed at
as they used 20 say. Elskede is the
I pride Of Iowa and apparently will
make them step wherever races.

Cranwood set the fashion in Octo-
Der and November Of racing three
quarter mile heats and both the crowds
and the horsemen like the idea. Itfsthe
intention Of the management Of the
new oval % race short distances early
and late and the owners will be there
with carloads Of trotters and PAGERS.
