''CHERRY AND BLACK" 



The since famous Suburban was Inaugurated this 



season, and PIzarro with 124 lbs. was the candidate of 



the "cherry and black." In the preliminary canter he 



cut up badly, lashing out with his heels, and In the race 



he fell out of it after going a mile. His temper had 



become bad, and a few days after the race he pulled 



up lame. He had developed a peculiar lame-

was rheumatism. But before his lameness 

 developed his spirits were so high that he rebelled at 

 being ridden, and his Suburban preparation was a 

 world of trouble. Finding that light jockeys could not 

 control him, they engaged Charlie Salt, the steeple- 

 chase jockey, to ride him at exercise. Salt, who weighed 

 about 160 lbs., mastered him, but it Is a question if It 

 did not cause his lameness. As a sire, PIzarro served 

 two or three seasons; he got Pessara, the Metropolitan 

 winner, and Reckon, one of the best mares of her day. 

 Aranza won nine races that season. Long after she 

 returned from England she would not try, except when 

 she could lead. "We could n't win a waiting race with 

 her," explained Mr. Lorlllard. "We tried It on sev- 

 eral occasions, and she 'd always quit."

 her form as a three-year-old."
