THREE-TEAR-OLDS. S9 



defeating Etawah. Two weeks later Etawah 

 turned tables on him. There are many features 

 of interest in both races, and about what took 

 place between and afterwards. At Columbus 

 Don Chenault defeated Etawah by an eyelash the 

 first heat. The second and final heat was easily 

 won by Don Chenault, after an early break had 

 put Etawah out of the contest. After this race 

 Don Chenault was worked very little. Two weeks 

 later he started in the Kentucky Futurity and 

 won the first heat, off in front all the way. In the 

 second heat he seemed very rank, made two 

 breaks and finished seventh. In the third heat 

 he became practically unmanageable and was dis- 

 tanced for running. Don Chenault's driver at- 

 tributed his defeat in the Kentucky Futurity to 

 the fact that the colt had not been worked enough 

 between the two races. He points to the fact 

 that after the Kentucky Futurity the colt was 

 given a stiff workout and, six days after his de- 

 feat, won the Championship stake in two straight 

 heats. As Etawah was not a starter in this last 

 race it cannot be brought into comparison with 

 the other 'two. Etawah, that had been defeated 

 at Columbus on September 24, participated in a 

 race against aged horses on October 4 and trotted 

 five hard heats, finishing 5, 3, i, i, 2 in 2:o8j4, 

 2:10^2, 2:10, 2:093^, 2:13, and then was drawn, 

 as he was becoming exhausted, and the Kentucky 

 classic was in mind. In the Kentucky Futurity
