It is proposed to hold private meetings with prizes provided from the reserve fund of the race track associations which, while far from amounting to the sums usually offered as purses for the classic events, would be sufficient suffi-cient to enable breeders to continue to improve their stock. Announcement made yesterday that Edmond Blanc will sell his stable evidently evi-dently does not mean his retirement from the track for he has been one of the most active in promoting the resumption of racing Mr. Blanc has been for many years one of the most prominent turf men in France. |
