sande brought seven horses to the meeting that was a woefully small number as compared to roles of the mighty stables invited to try their luck at this race emporium but sande saddled fourteen winners most of them triumphing with wide stretches of open daylight to spare this is is a rare success for a man who took up a new job scarcely three years ago all the fingers of one hand would not be needed

of course a fellow nith so rauch much weight do that it le be fair to the he horses sande now weighs as compared to the or so of his best riding years was he training raining any riders to follow in his own renown no not now most of the jocks who rode for him were eap exp experienced erien ced fellows still he would like to do it some day real jockeys were born not made even though exper
