$25,000 PURSE WINNERS 



The $25,000 events at Toledo and Kalamazoo in 

 1929 were won by Peter Cowl, Labrador and Counter- 

 part. The victory of Peter Cowl was an outstanding 

 performance as after finishing third to Nellie Signal 

 and High Noon in the first heat in 2:04% he came 

 back and won in 2:02 and 2:04. In his record making 

 mile this horse was timed separately in 2:01, the 

 last half being trotted in 59 seconds. In this heat 

 High Noon was only a few inches behind the winner 

 while there was a very narrow margin between him 

 and Lullawat at the finish of the third heat. 



Peter Cowl was bred by Albert C. Hall of Stam- 

 ford, Connecticut, who was represented on the turf 

 in 1925 by Bob Armstrong 2:03% which defeated 

 Crawford in the $10,000 trot at Syracuse. Both of 

 these horses were got by Chestnut Peter. The dam 

 of Bob Armstrong was by Peter the Great while 

 Peter Cowl was out of Jane Cowl, by Jack Straw. 

 She made a two-year-old record of 2:24% before 

 being retired to the brood mare ranks. Jane Cowl 

 was out of Esther Bells 2:08l^, a daughter of the 

 California bred horse Monbells and the Electioneer 

 mare Expressive 2 :12i/2 that was a star in the three- 

 year-old events in the high wheel sulky days. 



In 1929 Labrador started off at Lexington with a 

 victory in 2:06. Nat Ray chased him out with Ruth 

 Grattan. At the first Toledo meeting Labrador scored 

 again with Twinkling Joe in the place. At Cleveland 

 Lacey grabbed a heat from him with Mr. Napoleon
