"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



race at Fordham did n't discourage me. They had the 



laugh then. It 's our turn to-day." 



Three days later, for the Lorlllard Stakes, a mile and 



a half, Pizarro was third to George Kinney; but he 



won the Eatontown Stakes, the Trenton Stakes, and ten 



races that season. He was better at a mile than beyond 



it. Drake Carter beat him for the Om- 



p 1 nibus Stakes, but Carter had the mark of 



Stakes 



the whip on his flank. Yet Spellman, 

 who rode him, said with a smile, "He had as good as a 

 walk-over." 



"But you had to shake him up when Pizarro joined 

 you on the turn." 



"Yes; they had told me such great stories of Pi- 

 zarro's speed, I was afraid of him." 



"He clung to you." 



"I allowed him to do that— glad to have company. 

 Drake Carter is a lazy horse, and runs best when 

 there 's a horse by his side. When I saw Shauer come 

 up with Gonfalon, I called out, 'Can't you do any bet- 

 ter?' 'Oh, yes,' said he. 'Go on, then,' said I, 'my 

 horse is n't galloping,' but he could n't do a bit more." 



It was ever Mr. Lorillard's policy, if somebody had 



a better horse than his, to buy it, and im- 



n^^k^^r^^t mediately after the race he was seen in 



consultation with Green Morris. Then 



they adjourned to the secretary's oflUce. "I 've sold 



him," said Mr. Morris when he came out; "$17,500.
