Based on sheer statistics. the 2
year-old campaign of Mr.. Trouble
was not too impressive, The son
of an English Derby winner won
only two of his 10 races. Both
were in overnight events. He was
second in one stakes race, one al
lowance race, and third in four
added money features.
However, Mr.. Trouble is the type
colt and his 2-year-old efforts
good enough to lead his owner
and trainer to believe he would
develop into a first-class 3-year
old this year. At the close of his
2year-old campaign, his trainer
expressed his opinion that Mr.
Trouble would be a major con-
tender for top races for 3-year-
olds of 1850.
On May at Belmont, Mr.
Trouble first appeared under silks.
He won from IA other starters at
four and one-half furlongs in a
race for maiden colts and geldings.
Six days later he was beaten two

Button. But young Richard gave
'em a show the likes of which
they had never seen before.

hopes of other amateurs with
the declaration he'd stick to COM
petitive skating at least until the
1852 Olympics.
