 It is interesting that Feustel thinks the late Major August Bel mont's Ordinance might have de- veloped as the greatest race-horse of all time but for unsoundness.
 T don't believe Ordinance was ever up to the point of physical perfection" said Feustel. Tn spite of that as three-year old in 1924 the colt beat some of the greatest racers of his day, once capturing three important events in eight days"

The only trouble I ever had with him was to keep him from bolting his food I checked this by putting a bit in his mouth while he was eating. Although Man O. War was high strung there was nothing vicious about him. He was willing and faithful and always rarin' to go. When he conceded 18 pounds and beating to John P.
