Show I GINGER AND DON BREAK INTO 1 FAST COMPANY. j .' Ginger and Don, together with a -f&it string of colts sired by Allocn, MWfc last wuek for Fremont, Nebraska, where they will bo entered in the rpces in progress there. Ginger and Don are the two horses who have oen occupying the limelight in rac- . , ing circles in our State the last few ymrs. The former was -owned by Colonel C. E. Loose of Provo, the letter by McCoy of Salt Lake. Last ff ' iiPr they met in Provo to decide the ' ' .superiority and when the shouting 'Cr xW McCoy's horse surrendered the . hnnHMomhip of the State to his rival although lue forced the Provo animal ilKjL to break the Stale recoid for the half ' . mile to win.- Later Ginger was raced at Phoenix, Arizona and was beatoii by Queen Potnora, owned by Tliomr son of Snlt Lake. When we consider '" that Ginger nmde the marc do ll the . " ' . hunts under 2:8, and that she nosed . . ' him out at the wire in one Ivent !n 2:734. the showing was not t 11 bad. . '. . Last Strawberry tiny at Provo saw vifcv.AJiOthcr chapter in the story. Ginger " and Pomora met again in best three out of five half-mile heats and Ginger got sweet revenge by Unking three straight. The best time made was 1 1:2 1-5, Ginger doing this with carcc- ly nny forcing, the more in one heat only getting within hailing distance. 4! Mr. Hal Brown, of Spanish Fork. , the present owner of Ginger has ali3 acquired control of Don and will fol- .. ' low the Nebraska circuit the rest of the scason. Tire present wtek his string is racing at Fremont, Ncbras- I 'kit; next week will find them entered I at Columbus and the week following at Grand Island. After that Mr. I Brown intends working through .Mis souri on half mile circuits. Brown is dye in the wool horsemen and knows, we think, his horses perfectly. He is proving this by fighting for half mile tracks. We do not know a great deal about Don on the longer distance, dis-tance, but we do of Ginger. On a mile track Brown will find a great many horses in Nebraska and Missouri Mis-souri that can beat Ginger. On the shorter traicks the cx-Provo horse will prove as invincible in Nebraska and Missouri as he was here. Tn any decent condition he otn do better ' than a minute and thnt time will win ; Brown money in his .new field. We I wish him success and will keep" our readers posted as to the amount of it. Mr. Brown encounters. |
