Horace Johnston, whose trotting
horse, Bill Gallon, will be a favorite
in the Hambletonian at Goshen,
N. Y, Wednesday, is considered a
freshman by veterans of the rig
business.
Just three years ago to the day
of the Hambletonian, which is to
trotting as the Kentucky Derby is
to thoroughbred racing, Johnston
went to Hanover Farm sales in Har-
risburg, Pa, to buy colt, Most
trotting horse racers spend years
before they land a contender In the

Horseman for As Years.
Johnston, millionaire manufac-
turer, had been a horseman for As
years but this was his first fling at
trotting. He paid $1,000 for Bill
Gallon. which sold under the name
of Ashley Hanover and was by
Sandy Flash out of Calumet Aristo-
crat.
There wasn't much spirited bid
ding for Bill Gallon, Johnston re-
called today, and several of the
others (their names were soon for
gotten) sold for $4,000 or more.
II just liked his looks" Johnston
said. "Of course, I had years of ex-
perience with horses behind me but

this was my first time with trotters
1T was nothing in the world but
luck-just luck"
But Johnston's eye for horsef1esh
was something else besides luck. He
recalled that Il could see he had
no lost motion, how he sprang from
the hooks and ran straight"
A year later Johnston knew he
had one in a thousand. AS a q
year -old the even-tempered trotter
was a champion and a leading
money winner.
And this freshman of the rig
business admits that if Bill Gallon
wins he probably won't win another
Hambletonian-but he won't say
he'll quit trying.
Has Beaten Other Entries.
"I've got the fastest horse in the
race" he said, land with minimum
of luck and the right track condi-
tions Bill Gallon will come in first.
We've licked the other entries in
previous races and I don't see any,

Lee Smith "a freshman in the
Hambletonian, too, and with little
experience as a driver in the Grand

in Leo's winning repertoire is not
