He is owned by Sherwood Farm of lrvlngton. NJ. and closed out a brilliant juven to campaign last fall when be r to victory over the mile track at Lexington Kentucky. in 1.50. This performance had sur- passed all previous records for a 2-year-old colt and also beat the 1.58 1-5 mile which the sensation- al filly Good Counsel set up ear- lier at Duduoin. ill. The world mark of 2.00 for juv- enile trottoro is held by Scott Frost and he was driven to that record in 1954 by Joe O'Brien. Torpid won 17 of his 10 starts last year and his owner collected 873.378. which is a new record for 1-year-old pac- ers. In addition he won at Roose- velt Raceway in 1.02 2-5 and in doing so set a new world's half mile track record for pacing colts that wu later tied by Adios Ex- ltrels. owned by sol Camp and driv- ea by Joe O'Brien.
