thrill for the Owl because he didn't
have a bet on IT,.
He soon oufgrew his 6S pounds
he now weighs a snappy 1873, due
chiefly 10 Lllly'S fried chicken
and he became stud groom for the
late J. B. Haggin, then the big
geSt breeder OF race horses IN the
world. The Owl saw a great part
Of the world-Japan, South Amer
lea. England and the continent
delivering Haggin's horses abroad.
The owl insists he never bets
much on any race-a double saw
buck is his present limit as a rule
although. now that the income
statute of limitations has expired,
he will admit that he once had
Sl.400 on a so 10 ! shot. He also
had a bet about that large on a
nag named Broom Flower at Havre
de Grace which was beaten by
another nag named Boxer. The
Owl recalls that one tearfully.
You can find the owl in the
club house any day painfully
'typewriting the latest workouts
on the 200 horses he watches
around here.
All his life he has arisen at 4
a. m. or earlier and every day,
rain or shine, you can find him,
stop-watch in hand. clocking the
workouts.
His best horse OF all time is
Man O. War with Whirlaway A
close second And he swears that
Brlar Sweet, a S-year-old in 1893,
was the greatest mare that ever
raced. She was killed by light
ming.
