 Boston, June 25-1n New Eng land, they'll tell you that even the Chinese are betting on Through Bound.
 This rangy bay threatens to give more fashionable-bred brethren real run for the 2-year-old cham pionship.
 In his initial outing at Tropical opened at 20 to l. Handicappers Park, April 6, Through Bound had no satisfactory line on the son of Out Bound-Informal she by Infinite, because Trainer o. L. Fos- ter worked the colt under another name in the early morning. But Foster couldn't fool the smart boys around the paddock. By post-time the price on his charge was beaten down to g to 2.
 It is reported that Earl Sande, representing Maxwell Howard, of fered $7,500 for the youngster be- fore he ran race.
 But to get back to his first ef- fort, with F. Weidaman, an ordi- nary boy, up, Through Bound broke from the gate as though thrown by a slingshot. He had a five-length lead at the quarter and though eased up in the final six teenth, prevailed by 10 lengths in running the four furlongs in :46 1-5, just the fraction off the world record established on the same strip by Double Call, March l2, 1940.
 Had not Weidaman stood in the tirrups the last sixteenth, Through Bound couldn't have missed estab- fishing a new record, He carried 1l6 pounds. MASTERING YNCK
 OUT OF THE LATCH
 In an allowance race at Suffolk Downs, May 27, Through Bound again showed blistering lick out of the latch.
 Lugging 113 pounds in a Ave- furlong race, Through Bound sprinted to 6 five-length lead. He roared into the stretch four lengths on top and, under slight restrain, won by two and three-quarter lengths in :59 3-5, very good under the circumstances. The time was second below the track record hung up by the 2-year-old Eternal Bull, July 5, 194l.
 Through Bound is owned by Mrs. A. R. Smith, who believes she has world-beater in her unheralded and unsung charge.
 Out Bound was originally owned by Trainer Foster and, when old age began to creep up, was retired to Jess Martins White Settlement Farm, near Fort Worth. Foster, in partnership with Martin in the op- eration of the breeding establish ment, brought Through Bound to the races and continues very close to the picture in prepping the prize package for important stakes ahead.
 SIRE AND DAM FROM CLAIMING COMPANY
 Out Bound and Informal were nothing more than handy winners in cheap claiming company, never had too many pretenses to great ness.
 They were consistent, however, and Out Bound has sent out sons and daughters gifted with brilli- ant early speed.
 Through Bound is one of the fastest starters in recent years, in motion so quickly that he makes starts look bad.
 Following e genuine test in the $7500 Miles Standish Stakes at Suffolk Downs, in which he faced J. L. Sullivan's Hygrohour, among other good ones, Through Bound was to be pointed for the $l5,000 Mayflower Stakes, July 18, closing afternoon at the East Boston oval.
 Through Bound also will be pointed for the leading fixtures of the year.
 His ability already has made Out Bound one of the most sought after sires in Texas.
 We won't have a definite line on 2-year-olds until August, but the Foxcatcher Farms Suncap and Supermont, Hygrohour, George D. Widener's Red Sonnet, the Howe Stablesis True North, Greentree's Hickory Head, L. I. ?Haggin ITS Menex and other cracks will know they've been in race when they tackle Through Bound.
 And if Through Bound turns out to be 8 stayer, Mrs. A. R. Smith easily could have the l943 wearer of the triple crown.
