THERE is a class on the grand circuit which has been ery hard to fill In tho past few seasons, but which now appears ap-pears to have a wealth of material. This Is tho fast trotting class, especially es-pecially faster than a 2 08 trot, which even last year at many of the meetings failed to draw more than three or four entries Tho Harvester was tho big stumbling block In 1010, ovcry race in which ho started being practically con-edded con-edded to him, so that tho other Btnrtcru merely scrambled for tho short end of the purse But the wonderful son of Walnut Hall Is to t out of It this season as far as actual racing Is concerned con-cerned not that ho will not likely be good and not that his owner and driver are averse to racing him, but for want of antagonists which apparently class with him Uhlan, judging on 1910 form. Is the only trotter in tho country capable of measuring strides with tha pride of Milwaukee, and the black gelding is owned by a man who does not race his horses for money. Thus tho two star trotters of the country are not liable to be seen in competition with anything except tho watch Of the trotters which raced through. V SS vl MVSL N- 1..,.. k,i " fs ' - ' tho big ring last year In the fast classes class-es two Bob Douglass (2 04) and Sonoma So-noma Girl (2:04) will not be soon on tho turf again, the former having been sold for export to Europo and the latter having broken down. But thero arc many others From Colorado comes word that the evergreen veteran veter-an Country Jay (2.05U), thought to be oil through ton years ago, Is coming back as good as ever. Outside of Uhlan and The Harvester. the trotter which the majority of horsemen will concede to look tho best for free-for-all material Is the brown marc, Joan (2s'). w'orld's champion four-year-old Ed Geers may spring a surprlso on tho circuit with Hall- . worthy. Whllo his 1910 campaign wu rather on the in and out order, he will give an body's trotter a race. Willy, Walter Wlnnan's great filly, has wintered win-tered well and should win many races ' this summer. |
