RACEALONG 119 



field in the Walnut Hall Cup at Lexington. John 

 Thomas won with Lulla Forbes and Polly Peachtree 

 before starting for a trip over the southern tracks. 



Henry Thomas won with Delphia Watts, Hal Acme 

 and Hollyrood Volo at Aurora. He followed this 

 showing by a whirl over the western tracks where 

 he won sixteen races before he appeared at Lexing- 

 ton. At that point he landed the first race at the 

 meeting with Senator Frisco. 



Sir Roche won five races in the circuit for Loomis. 

 His best showing was at Milwaukee where he de- 

 feated Margaret Dillon in 2:001/2- John L. Dodge 

 scored four firsts with Hollyrood Abigail and Holly- 

 rood Susan. The last start made by Susan was in 

 the May Day Stake which she won over a heavy 

 track in 2:lll^. 



TWO BRIGHT ONES 



Barton Pardee, the owner of Lu Princeton, 2:01, 

 and Mabel Trask, 2:01%, always enjoyed seeing 

 everybody's horses in good form as well as his own. 

 At the same time, he added many a bright spot to a 

 wet day by his subtle wit. One day when a few of the 

 ultra wise were weaving turf honors for 1920, he 

 said "I would give a few dollars for a peek into next 

 season's Year Book about the first of June." This was 

 a shade better than "Tombstone" Kelly's come back 

 at Abe Dysher when the latter said that the Irish 

 were no good and Kelly replied ''I admit it if they are 

 not developed."
