start of the season in Belleville,
Ontario, as shown by the racing re-
ports of the Horse Review, Of
June Bird.
Pop Geer swho handled Lecco
for Mr.. Ansley advide the sale Of
him last fall as he had a bad ten
don and it seemed hard to keep
him in fast racing form as his
lamenes swould return when the ex-
IRENE speed was turned on. Geers
felt that if he was transferred to
cool climate that he would stand
racing better, hence Mr.. Ansley sold
him in November to gentlemaa
in Springfield Mass. to be raced
in the far east and Canada. Be
fore his sale Mr.. Geers told Mr..
Ansley in Columbus, Ohio last
August that he showed the most
wonderful speed he had almost
ever seen that in his training he was
stepping the last quarters of his
miles in % IA seconds, a 1-53 giant,
and could he have kept him sound
he would probably have been the
biggest winning PAGER thru the
Grand Circuit but after these fast
miles his lameness would return
periodically and advised his sale
of course it is gratifying to Mr.
Ansley to know that ne is going
sound again asd winning hopes thai
