That's what I'm here for.

West looks well after his
winters rest. Judging from his
akin and eyes, he is in perfect
health. He has added a few
pounds since limping home last
October, but not enough to class
him with the fat bOys. He'll
shed a little weight, once the
going gets rough, but won't
suffer much in the losing.
Clark Griffith grins every. time
he sees West moving around the

predicted last spring that West
would be Big Lacquer in another

today. "He was a year away. He
