over six doughty knights of Fed

what happened. Divan President
F. w. F. Gleason glanced around
his clubroom and realized that he
couldn't muster players equivalent
to the strength of the visitors, so he

Rock Dove

This isn't any sprint breeding. All
through the pedigree names of stay
ers stick out, horses and mares that
could run all day. And don't forget
that Man O. War came down from
a blending of the Rock Sand and
Fairy Gold blood. It's the type of
breeding you could muse over for
days.
Likes Flight Command, Too.
Sonny Whitney, modest young
millionaire that he is, won't give
Carrier Pigeons well-wishers too
much comfort. He has been disap-
pointed before this. He can't for
get, either, that he has another colt
of fine promise-Flight Command
in the 3-year-old field. He's by
Peace Chance-Top Flight, by Dis
Done. Remember Top Flight? A
fleet filly, she was, indeed, and she
| earned more money than any other
member of her sex.
Flight Command started four
times, once was first, once second.
But Carrier Pigeon is our story. He
won both of his starts with ridicul-
GUS ease, the second by eight
lengths with the boy looking back.
Let Whitney tell about that Sec
ond start:
"He was off last. He came around
the field and won galloping He
runs with his tail straight out be-
hind him, just like Equipoise. You
know, he's got those funny spots on
him. They're supposed to be a
great thing-the bend or spots"
There have been a good many
stories about what happened to Car
rier Pigeon as 2-year-old, why he
never went to the post after the
two outings at Saratoga.
The answer, simply, is this: He
bruised a heel in the second start.
I'll tell you what happened" said
Whitney.
"He apparently stepped on a stone
in that last race. It would be the
same as stone bruise on the heel
in a human being. I was pointing
him for the Hopeful (Bimelech won
that one) and we felt he needed a
hard work first.
"A veterinarian was there, the best
one I could find, and all of us
thought the bruise hadn't healed
enough. I could have made him
ready for the Futurity Bimelech
won that one, too), but decided just
to put him aside. I thought it best
to let up on him."
Valued IS Stallion.
The reason for the concern and
careful handling?
"He is too valuable prospectively
as a stallion to me-" Whitney con-
tinued.
I'm my way of thinking he is the
right size for a 3-year-old. He
stands about 16 hands"

TROPICAL PARK, Fla, March
23.-Bull Whip, a $42. .70-for-$2 shot
from the Brandywine Stable OF
Delaware's Donald P. Ross, thrilled
q crowd of about 5000 here today
when he won the Royal Palm Han
dicap, worth $2,94O to the lucky
owner, by a nose. Technician, last
Years Flamingo winner, which races
for Herbert M. Woolf's Woolford
Farm, was second by two lengths,
with Mrs. E. L. Martins Supreme
Sir third in field of II. The time
for the mile and 10 yards was 1:42B
Claim of Foul Denied.
There was claim of foul against
the winner, which was piloted by
the promising Brooklyn apprentice
lad, Charley Durando. Bull Whip
appeared to bear in slightly during
the stretch drive and in so doing
might have impeded Technician to
some extent, but not enough to
bring disqualification.
In recent race Bull Whip beat
Technician nose at the same
distance. Each horse dropped one
pound in the weight assignments
today, so that they raced right
back to their last meeting.
Mar LIE, stablemate of the
Widener Cup winner, Many Stings,
ruled favorite. The gelding set the
pace for the half mile, then dropped
back and finished fourth, a head
behind Supreme Sir

All in the field except Royal Blue
were nominated for the $4,000

cap, closing day feature scheduled
for April 10.
Technician raced along with Mar
lie, a head behind Leo Marks
5-year-old. When the latter weak
ened, Technician took a narrow
lead over Bull Whip, which had
been close behind the two showing
the way. Around the bend and
through the stretch Technician and
Bull Whip bobbed their heads to-
gether, with the result in doubt
right up to the last stride. Supreme
Sir closed with a belated rush.

spots and liver -colored coat is like
his famous daddy in another respect.
John Hervey, who writes as SAL
vator," once said that Equipoise re-
quired little strong work or severe
training, and never once before his
50-odd starts ever ran trial in any
way remarkable.
The young sportsman who owns
him must have been thinking of
something like that when he talked
about Carrier Pigeon, for a faint and
fleeting smile of pleasure softened
his face.
"He Carrier Pigeon) isn't good
morning horse" he said, nibbling at
the stem of his pipe, "and he only
gives what is wanted. He's very
much like his sire. and he's going
to resemble him closely"
This, then, is the story to date of
the best son the Chocolate Soldier
has sent to the races, and only two
more crops remain. for Equipoise
died suddenly in 1888.
It's no simple task to touch his
record: Fifty-one starts in six years,
% wins, 10 seconds and 4 thirds.
Winnings: $338610. He went mile
once at Arlington in Chicago in
1:342s, packing 1913 pounds. Moth
ing was within three lengths of him
at the finish.
There isn't partisan or biased
opinion in John B. Campbell's mind.
He handicaps for the Jockey Club
and weight goes on for merit, not
fancy theories.
Even Sonny Whitney was more
than mite surprised by what this
sage veteran of the turf thought of
Carrier Pigeon. The Jockey Clubs
experimental handicap for 2-year-
olds in which juvenile form is the
sole guide had Bimelech on top, of
course. with 100 pounds to pack.
But in the second hole and rated
at 126 pounds, was the son of Equi-
poise.
Bimelech Has Unique Rating.
Through the years that Campbell
has rated the coming 3-year- -olds
he never once has put colt over
1875 pounds, with the exception of
Bimelech. To our way of thinking
that would make Carrier Pigeon the
equal of any top 2-year -old of other
seasons.
Carrier Pigeon, Flight Command
and Whitneys highly regarded
juvenile colt, Sky Raider, a son Of
Man O. War-Top Flight, came in
the other day from Kentucky where
they spent the winter resting up
for the campaign ahead.
Trainer E. L. Snyder has been
Logging them up for some weeks
with long gallops, either on the out
side mile track, when weather per-
mitted, or inside on cold, snowy
days.
Not many days will pass before
the horse parks will be bubbling
over with gossip from the regulars
on how fast this colt or that one
worked in a trial. Carrier Pigeon
probably will keep on about his busi-
ness and let Andy K and Bimelech
and the others crack watches for
the clocks. Maybe he knows you
don't pick up any cash money in
the misty morning hours and that
the cash register rings only in the
afternoon.

SECOND RACE SATIATION,
AIR SPEED, UNRAVELLED.

SATIATION, which has been
knocking at the door for a con-
siderable time, meets a field he
should master and appears to
need only an equal share of rae
ing fortune. AIR SPEED, in
good fettle, may offer the chief
contention. UNRAVELLED turns
in an occasional good race and
may threaten.
